A name, a voice and a door. The prompt now asks for a colleague on the shop floor - answer first, one to three sentences, the shop's name and the person's name, the one thing to do next - instead of a report with headings. Both apps put her behind the Loyaly mark in the top-right corner of every screen, because a buddy you have to find in a sidebar is not around.

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.
