Generate Tauri + Rust desktop app from requirements — local-first, native binary

Tier: Beta. Tauri + Rust is a beta target — Archiet generates real, idiomatic Rust and Tauri command wiring, but unlike the web stacks it is not yet runtime-boot-verified end to end in CI (a desktop build/sign step is environment-specific). Expect to run cargo tauri dev and review locally before distributing. This is a desktop, local-first stack — the multi-tenant web patterns (workspace row filtering) do not apply; data lives in a local store on the user's machine.

Tauri + Rust patterns Archiet gets right

Typed commands across the bridge. Each backend operation is a #[tauri::command] returning a Result, so the frontend gets typed success and error paths:

#[derive(serde::Serialize, serde::Deserialize)]
pub struct Note {
    pub id: String,
    pub title: String,
    pub body: String,
    pub updated_at: String,
}

#[tauri::command]
pub fn list_notes(state: tauri::State<Db>) -> Result<Vec<Note>, String> {
    state.list_notes().map_err(|e| e.to_string())
}

Typed frontend bindings so the React UI never hand-rolls invoke strings:

export const listNotes = (): Promise<Note[]> => invoke("list_notes")

Local-first SQLite store. Data persists in an application-data SQLite database, migrated on first launch. No server, no network dependency for core CRUD — the app works offline.

Bundle, signing, and updater config. tauri.conf.json includes the updater endpoint and code-signing placeholders so the path to a distributable installer is scaffolded, not an afterthought.

What is included

• React + TypeScript + shadcn/ui frontend — the screens from your manifest, wired to typed commands
• Rust backend — command handlers, serde models, SQLite store with migrations
• Build config — cargo tauri dev for local development, cargo tauri build for native installers
• Architecture docs — ADRs under docs/decisions/ for material decisions
• README — run, build, and signing instructions

FAQ

Is the Tauri app local-first or does it need a server?

Local-first. Core CRUD runs against a local SQLite store on the user's machine and works offline. You can add a sync backend separately, but it is not required for the generated app to function.

What does the frontend use?

React with TypeScript and shadcn/ui, calling typed invoke() wrappers generated for each Rust command — so the UI and backend stay in sync.

Is the Tauri + Rust stack production-ready?

It is a beta target: the generated Rust and command wiring are real and idiomatic, but the desktop build/sign path is environment-specific and not yet runtime-boot-verified in CI like the web stacks. Run cargo tauri dev, review, and test locally before distributing.

Do the multi-tenant patterns apply here?

No. Tauri is a desktop, single-user, local-first stack. The workspace row-filtering patterns from the web stacks don't apply — data lives locally.
