The first demo sealed the office cameras into the package and ran the PC standalone - a copy of the product with no head office. The bundle can now carry an installation code instead: setup redeems it exactly as the app's Setup screen does, the PC joins the shop, and its cameras arrive from head office on the first sync. The demo then IS the product - login, Loya, head office - not a local imitation of it. The code is single-use, so one bundle is one install. release.sh ships the bundle with DEMO_PACK=.

Behavision agent (Go)
The half of the edge install that touches the network. The Python engine keeps the cameras and the models; this keeps the tray icon, the UI shell, the MQTT connection and the offline queue.

Why the split
Go cannot run ONNX, OpenCV or FAISS, so the engine stays Python and ships frozen. Go is here for what it is actually better at: a durable queue that survives a store's internet dropping, a supervised child process, and one language shared with the server so the MQTT contract has a single definition.
Why not a Windows service
A service runs in session 0 and cannot draw a tray icon — that is Windows session isolation, not a library limitation. Since the product is "user starts and stops it from the tray", the agent is a normal user-session process that spawns the engine as a child. That also means it never needs elevation at runtime: starting a child process does not, controlling a service does.
internal/engine is written so a service wrapper can be added later without
touching the supervision logic.
Layout
main.go entry point, mode dispatch
internal/engine start/stop/supervise the Python engine, health polling
internal/spool durable event queue (survives restart and outage)
internal/mqtt broker client, publishes from the spool
internal/config tenant identity, broker settings, credentials
frontend/ React UI served into the WebView
Build
go build ./... # agent alone
wails build # agent + frontend, once the UI is added
