- Dev/prod URL auto-detection (Vite 5173 in dev, server 3000 in prod)
- Typed IPC bridge via preload (notifications, badge, window controls, updates, deep links)
- Native OS notifications via NotificationController with window focus suppression
- Auto-update via electron-updater with UpdateToast UI
- Deep linking (backspace:// protocol) for macOS and Windows/Linux
- Window state persistence (position, size, maximize across restarts)
- Tray icon with graceful fallback when icon asset missing
- Suppress PWA service worker polling/reloads inside Electron
- Platform detection layer (isElectron, getElectronAPI)
- Root workspace scripts (dev:desktop, build:desktop)
- Document BACKSPACE_URL and BACKSPACE_UPDATE_URL env vars
Redesign deployment as a single docker-compose with Backspace, Caddy
(auto-HTTPS), and LiveKit (voice/video) using hybrid networking:
Backspace+Caddy on isolated bridge, LiveKit on host mode for WebRTC.
- Add install.sh: interactive installer that handles Docker setup,
domain/DNS verification, secret generation, LiveKit config, and
deployment with health-check wait
- Add Caddyfile: static reverse proxy config using Caddy env vars,
routes /livekit/* to host-mode LiveKit via host.docker.internal
- Rewrite docker-compose.yml: all-in-one with profiles (voice),
no external volumes/networks, bind mount ./data for visibility
- Fix livekit.ts: use LIVEKIT_URL env var directly instead of
Host-header derivation that made the env var dead code
- Fix Dockerfile: health check reads $PORT dynamically
- Update .env.example: add DOMAIN, COMPOSE_PROFILES documentation
- Update .gitignore: add livekit.yaml (contains secrets)
- Add Backspace-design-prototype.html: finalized "Aether Drift" design
language with warm matte surfaces and subtle frosted glass accents
- Update CLAUDE.md with DESIGN SYSTEM section and remove Discord clone references
- Rename all Opencord references to Backspace across the full codebase
- Archive outdated design experiments and Discord-specific assets
- Add science-backed accessibility fallback (prefers-reduced-transparency)
