Slim README for public visibility

Repo is now public; the previous README leaked author-only context
(local ~/claude/projects path, scripts/release.sh + tea workflow,
icon-regen steps) that's irrelevant to anyone landing fresh.

Now: Install / Using it / Stack / Build from source / Tests /
Architecture / License-note. The release + icon-regen flows live in
memory.md for the maintainer.

### Requirements
- **Windows 10/11** with [WebView2 Runtime](https://developer.microsoft.com/microsoft-edge/webview2/) (preinstalled on Windows 11; downloadable on Windows 10).
- At least one WSL distro registered (`wsl -l -v` lists them).
- **Windows 10/11** with [WebView2 Runtime](https://developer.microsoft.com/microsoft-edge/webview2/) (preinstalled on Win11).
- At least one WSL distro registered (`wsl -l -v`).
## Using it
- **Split panes**`⇥` in the pane toolbar splits right, `⇣` splits down. New pane inherits the parent's distro + cwd.
- **Split panes**`⇥` in the pane toolbar splits right, `⇣` splits down. The new pane inherits the parent's distro + cwd.
- **Close pane**`×`. The sibling expands to fill.
- **Rename pane** — click the label in the toolbar, type, Enter.
- **Rename pane** — click the label in the toolbar, type, Enter (Esc to cancel).
- **Change distro** — click the small `Ubuntu ▾` chip; pick a distro from the popover. The pane respawns (old shell is killed).
- **Broadcast** — toggle `📡` on two or more panes (orange border). Typing in any of them mirrors to all.
- **Preset layouts** — titlebar buttons: `1` / `2H` / `3H` / `2V` / `2×2`.
- **Preset layouts** — titlebar buttons: `1` / `2H` / `3H` / `2V` / `2×2`. Confirms before replacing a multi-pane layout.
- **Active pane** — click any pane → blue border + keyboard focus.
- **Jump to pane**`Ctrl+K` opens a fuzzy picker over label / distro / cwd. ↑/↓ to navigate, Enter to focus, Esc to close.
- **Idle toasts** — top-right notification appears when a pane goes quiet for 5s. Useful for "I started a long task; tell me when it's done."

Layout + per-pane settings auto-save to `%APPDATA%\com.megaproxy.tiletopia\workspace.json` (debounced 500 ms).
## Develop
## Stack
Develop the Rust + frontend code in WSL; **build and run on the Windows host** (Tauri targets Windows, Rust toolchain is Windows-side).
- **Tauri 2** (Rust backend, WebView2 frontend) — small bundle, native NSIS installer.
- **Svelte 5** + TypeScript + Vite + pnpm.
- **xterm.js** + `@xterm/addon-fit` for terminal rendering.
- **`portable-pty`** (Rust) spawning `wsl.exe -d <distro>` PTYs.
**Source location matters.** The project must live on a Windows-native drive (`D:\dev\tiletopia\`). Don't run pnpm against the `\\wsl.localhost\...` UNC path — pnpm 11.x crashes inside `isDriveExFat` (the actual error gets swallowed by the crashing error-hint formatter). The WSL-side symlink at `~/claude/projects/tiletopia` is for editing, not building.
## Build from source
### Prereqs (Windows host)
- Windows 10/11 + WebView2 Runtime
- [MSVC toolchain](https://v2.tauri.app/start/prerequisites/#windows) (VS Build Tools, "C++ build tools" workload)
- [Rust](https://rustup.rs/) on the Windows host
- Node 20+ and pnpm (`corepack use pnpm@11.2.2`)
### Build + iterate
This targets Windows; the Rust toolchain runs on the Windows host. Prereqs per [Tauri docs](https://v2.tauri.app/start/prerequisites/#windows): MSVC ("C++ build tools" workload), Rust, Node 20+, pnpm (`corepack use pnpm@latest`), at least one WSL distro.
```powershell
cd D:\dev\tiletopia
git clone https://git.rdx4.com/megaproxy/tiletopia.git
cd tiletopia
pnpm install
pnpm tauri dev # iterate — auto-reloads frontend on save, recompiles Rust on src-tauri changes
pnpm tauri dev # iterate
pnpm tauri build # NSIS installer at src-tauri\target\release\bundle\nsis\
```
### Test (WSL)
**Keep the source on a Windows-native drive** (e.g. `C:\` or `D:\`). Running pnpm against a `\\wsl.localhost\...` UNC path crashes pnpm 11.x inside `isDriveExFat` (with a misleading error from the crashing hint formatter).
### Run the tests
```sh
pnpm test # vitest, ~43 cases on the layout tree
pnpm test:watch # rerun on file change
pnpm test # vitest, 43 cases on the layout tree
pnpm test:watch
pnpm check # svelte-check
```
The test suite covers the pure tree helpers in `src/lib/layout/tree.ts`. UI behavior, broadcast routing, and Tauri integration are still manually tested.

### Release
## Architecture
1. Bump version in `package.json`, `src-tauri/Cargo.toml`, `src-tauri/tauri.conf.json`. Commit + push.
2. On Windows: `pnpm tauri build` (produces `src-tauri\target\release\bundle\nsis\tiletopia_<ver>_x64-setup.exe`).
3. From WSL: `scripts/release.sh v0.1.0` — sanity-checks, tags `v0.1.0`, pushes the tag, and uploads the installer to Forgejo as a release via `tea`.
### Regenerate the icon
```sh
python3 scripts/make-icon.py
pnpm tauri icon src-tauri/icons/source.png
# Tauri's icon command writes iOS + Android + UWP outputs too; rm them.
rm -rf src-tauri/icons/{ios,android,Square*.png,StoreLogo.png,64x64.png,icon.png}
```
See `src-tauri/icons/README.md` for details.
## Architecture (quick tour)
- **Backend**`src-tauri/src/pty.rs`: `PtyManager` holding `Mutex<HashMap<PaneId, PaneHandle>>` of `portable-pty` children. Each spawned pane gets a background reader thread that emits `pane://{id}/data` events to the frontend (base64 chunks). Counterparts: `write_to_pane` / `resize_pane` / `kill_pane`. Workspace persistence via `save_workspace` / `load_workspace` writing to `app.path().app_config_dir()` with atomic tmp+rename.
- **Layout**`src/lib/layout/tree.ts`: binary tree of splits. `HSplit | VSplit` internal nodes with a ratio, `Leaf` at the bottom. Same model as i3 / tmux / Zellij — adaptive resize falls out of mutating one parent ratio. Pure helpers (`splitLeaf`, `closeLeaf`, `changeDistro`, etc.) live in `tree.ts`; the rendering chain (`Pane.svelte``SplitNode.svelte` / `LeafPane.svelte`) is thin.
- **Orchestration** — broadcast routing, idle detection, palette, active-pane focus all live in `App.svelte` and are bundled into a `PaneOps` interface (`src/lib/layout/ops.ts`) drilled through the Pane chain.
- **Stack precedent** — mirrors `~/claude/projects/claude-usage-widget/`: same Tauri 2 + Svelte 5 + Vite + pnpm + NSIS Forgejo-release toolchain.
- **Backend** (`src-tauri/src/pty.rs`): `PtyManager` holding `Mutex<HashMap<PaneId, PaneHandle>>` of `portable-pty` children. Each spawned pane gets a background reader thread that emits `pane://{id}/data` events (base64 byte chunks). Counterparts: `write_to_pane` / `resize_pane` / `kill_pane`. Workspace persistence via `save_workspace` / `load_workspace` writes to `app.path().app_config_dir()` with atomic tmp + rename.
