Wails ships no Gitea provider, so add updater/gitea (~250 lines): latest non-draft release newer than current wins, pre-releases skipped unless AllowPrerelease, exact AniTrack-linux-amd64 asset match, .sha512/.sig sidecars parsed into updater.Verification (sha512+ed25519ph, mirroring wails3 updater sign). Anything missing or malformed is an error, never an unsigned install. Includes semver compare, streaming download with progress, and unit tests (picking rules, fail-closed sidecars, server errors, progress) plus an opt-in live probe (ANITRACK_LIVE_TEST=1) proven against the real instance. Also: embed updater.pub (public half; private key lives in password manager + UPDATER_SIGNING_KEY CI secret, updater.key gitignored) and ignore CI-side updater-dist/ staging.
The Wails dev flow regenerates frontend/package.json.md5 (package.json change-detection hash) on every run, so it showed as untracked after each make dev. Scoped to frontend/; the tracked frontend/package-lock.json rule is unaffected.
Fixes the wails3 dev boot failure and removes remaining v2-isms so the tree matches a stock v3 project.
- frontend/package.json: add missing build:dev script (vite build --minify false --mode development). The dev taskflow runs npm run build:dev, which v2-era package.json never had - this was the wails3 dev boot failure.
- frontend/vite.config.ts: add the @wailsio/runtime vite plugin (typed custom events, as in every v3 template) and the server host/port/strictPort block (5173, matching the dev task).
- Remove stale v2 build dirs build/darwin + build/windows (v2 wails scaffolding; v3 generates its own via build-assets if ever needed).
- Delete untracked frontend/package.json.md5 (v2 change-detection artifact; v3 Taskfile uses content-hash sources) and drop its gitignore rule.
- go.mod: delete the leftover commented-out v2 replace directive.
- README.md: dev/build docs updated to make dev / make build (wails3), dropping the v2 :34115 browser-server paragraph; install link points at v3 docs.
Verified: production vite build green with the plugin, and wails3 dev boots end-to-end (bindings regen, build:dev, vite on :5173, asset server connected, AniTrack 1.6.8 window mapped).
Desktop-Linux-only scaffolding adapted from the stock v3 svelte template; no mobile taskfiles added yet.
- Taskfile.yml (root): APP_NAME AniTrack, BIN_DIR build/bin (keeps the v2 output path so release packaging is untouched), includes common+linux only, build/run/dev tasks.
- build/Taskfile.yml: stock common tasks (frontend build, bindings regen, go mod tidy).
- build/linux/Taskfile.yml: stock, minus the common:generate:icons dep (it targets macOS/Windows icons from a build/appicon.png this project does not have; icons ship via build/icon + the release tarball). Generated build/linux/AniTrack.desktop committed (stable output).
- build/config.yml: AniTrack metadata, version 1.6.8. NOTE: ./release only bumps wails.json productVersion, not this file - bump both on release until the script learns about it.
- wails.json: v3 frontend block (dir/install/build/dev/devServerUrl :5173); author + info.productVersion kept for the in-app title and the release version guard.
- Makefile: wails dev/build -> wails3 dev -port 5173 / wails3 build. The v2 webkit2_41 tag is a v2-ism v3 ignores; v3 defaults to GTK4/WebKitGTK 6.0 (same 2.52.x engine generation), so no tags.
- .gitignore: task cache dir .task/ ignored.
The blanket package-lock.json gitignore rule meant the frontend lockfile was never committed, so every release installed whatever the registry handed it (silent transitive drift) and setup-node npm caching failed outright with unable to cache dependencies. Scope the ignore rule to the repo root (/package-lock.json; no root package.json exists) and commit the freshly updated frontend lockfile: all deps at max in-range versions (autoprefixer 10.5.6 -> 10.6.0), majors intentionally deferred to the v3 frontend refresh. Verified with a green vite build before committing.
Ignore compiled binaries and packaging archives that are generated
during a build, without hiding tracked build source files:
- build/bin: the compiled application binary
- *.tar / *.tar.gz: packaging archives (e.g. Wails .ptmp temp dirs)
- /AniTrack: the root app binary (fix the previous './AniTrack'
pattern, which gitignore did not match)
The project's compiled binary (AniTrack) was not covered by existing
gitignore patterns. Only platform-specific extensions like .exe, .dll,
.so, and .dylib were ignored. Add the bare binary name to prevent the
locally-built executable from appearing as an untracked file.
Add *.tar.gz pattern to build directory exclusion in .gitignore to prevent
build artifacts like Anitrack-0.5.2.tar.gz from being committed to the
repository. These generated files are ephemeral build outputs that should
not be tracked in version control.
