Update README: rename "Run (Windows dev)" to "Run (dev)", add a Linux (Ubuntu/Debian) prerequisites section with required apt packages and instructions to install Node/Rust and run dev, and clarify the Linux VM build step. Tweak src-tauri/src/main.rs to scope the windows_subsystem attribute to only non-debug Windows builds (add target_os = "windows" to the cfg_attr) to avoid extra console windows in release builds on Windows.
Introduce first-time user onboarding and a navigable on-screen keyboard, plus persistent user storage via a bundled rusqlite database and Tauri API. Backend: add rusqlite dependency, DB initialization in tauri setup, schema migration/backfill for users, and two Tauri commands (get_first_user, create_user) with input sanitization and structured UserRecord. Frontend: add core/users.js (invoke + localStorage fallback), integrate user state initialization, add user setup view/styles and keyboard overlay (JS/CSS), wire views and navigation to show onboarding when needed, and update lock view behavior to coordinate onboarding and passkey flow. Also add @tauri-apps/api dependency and update package/Cargo lock files accordingly.
Introduce a single PASSKEY_LENGTH constant (6) and enforce it across passkey config/load/save/update, removing the previous user-adjustable length/clamping. Add resetSequence() to clear stored hash/salt, reset length/attempts/lockout and persist the cleared state. Update settings UI: relabel "Change Passkey" to "Reset Passkey", show "6 digits" and "Fixed for testing", remove length adjustment controls/handlers, and call state.passkey.resetSequence() when resetting so setup will run on next lock.
Introduce a working v0 Nebula Shell prototype (Tauri frontend) and redesign docs. Adds a complete frontend under src/ (views: home, lock, library, settings, overlays), core adapters (input, nav, passkey, router, state), global styles and shell guidelines, and view-specific HTML/CSS/JS. Update README with prototype notes, install/run/build instructions and controller testing tips. Update package.json to add dev/build scripts and add @nebulaproject/core as a dependency. Also include a detailed REDESIGN_DOCUMENTATION.md describing the Xbox-inspired horizontal dashboard, component patterns, and developer notes.
Initialize the Nebula OS Tauri project: add frontend (src/) with HTML, JS, CSS and SVG assets, plus a sample greet UI. Add src-tauri Rust backend (Cargo.toml, build.rs, main/lib) with a greeting command, tauri.conf.json, capability schema and platform icons. Add package.json (dev dependency on @tauri-apps/cli), .gitignore files and VSCode recommended extensions. Expand README with project vision, architecture and phase roadmap to document the Windows-first development plan.
