Suriyakumarvijayanayagam 9521cb986b The shop PC's UI had never once been run
`wails build` had never been executed against this project - CLAUDE.md
says so plainly - so every screen the shop floor actually touches was
unreviewed. Running it found why nobody had.

fyne.io/systray's nativeLoop must own the main thread on macOS, a Cocoa
requirement, and Wails already holds it. Starting both kills the process
with a SIGTRAP inside cgo before a single pixel is drawn. On Windows,
which is what ships, a tray on its own goroutine is fine - so the one
platform the whole team develops on was the one platform that could not
open the app, and the UI went unlooked-at as a result.

BEHAVISION_NO_TRAY runs the window without the tray, the same escape
hatch BEHAVISION_ALLOW_PLAINTEXT_MQTT already is for the broker.
Deliberately an environment variable and NOT a GOOS check: a build that
quietly drops the tray is how a shop PC ends up with no control surface
at all, and it would fail where nobody is watching. The guard is on stop()
as well, because systray.Quit() on a systray that never started is not a
no-op in v1.12.2 - it would turn closing the window into a crash on exit,
the failure most likely to be shrugged off as "it closed, fine".

go.mod gains the indirect dependencies the darwin build pulls in. No
version moved: the committed list was written by a windows-only build,
which never resolves that part of the Wails tree.

Verified: GOOS=windows build, go vet, and the agent suite all still pass,
and the packaged .app runs.

The store-facing app: a tray icon, a window, and the supervisor for the Python recognition engine.

Why one process, not three

The tray, the window and the supervisor all need the same state, and a user who quits the tray expects recognition to stop. Splitting them means two things can disagree about whether the engine is running.

It is deliberately 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. Spawning a child process also needs no elevation, while controlling a service does, so this design never triggers UAC at runtime.

Layout

main.go       wails.Run, window options
app.go        the methods bound to the frontend
tray.go       fyne.io/systray — wails v2 has no tray of its own
icons.go      tray icons generated at run time, not embedded
internal/local  client for the engine on 127.0.0.1:8010
internal/cloud  client for https://mcp.loyaly.ai
frontend/     React + Vite

The supervisor, durable spool, broker client and path resolution come from ../agent/pkg/* — the same tested code the headless agent runs, imported rather than copied.

Build

cd frontend && npm install && npm run build   # then, from this directory:
wails build -platform windows/amd64

wails build needs the Wails CLI:

go install github.com/wailsapp/wails/v2/cmd/wails@v2.9.2

Without it, go build still type-checks everything provided frontend/dist exists — the embed directive requires it.

What the frontend talks to

Nothing is imported from generated bindings. src/bridge.js calls window.go.main.App.* directly, so npm run build works without running wails generate, and there is one place that handles "the engine is not running yet" — the state every screen has to survive on a fresh install.
