Introduce a full library feature: add new frontend modules (libraryBridge, libraryComponents, libraryController, libraryFilters, libraryModel) and refactor library view JS to use them; implement rich library CSS and UI templates in index.html (new hints, sidebar entries). Rework spatial navigation (src/core/nav.js) with a geometry-based picker, anchor behavior, sidebar/content regions and integration hook for external nebula navigation; add navigation refresh handling in main.js. Update controller/state glyphs to include a 'clear' button. On the Tauri backend, add a launch_library_game command and its result type, wire it into lib.rs commands, and adjust DB upsert to handle app_kind correctly and export list_games usage. Misc: various wiring to load/scan/launch library items and improved focus/keyboard behaviors.
Introduce a persistent left sidebar, update navigation to support regions, and convert the UI to a flat/no-blur visual style.
Key changes:
- index.html: add a persistent sidebar markup with nav items, user area and main app layout.
- src/core/nav.js: improve candidate scoring to use element bounding centers and overlap penalty; include extra focus roots; add region metadata handling, helpers for resolving default content/sidebar indices, and special-case movements between sidebar and content; respect contract.useNebulaNavigation flag.
- src/main.js: manage sidebar visibility for full-screen flows (lock/onboarding), update sidebar active state on view changes, include sidebar as an extraFocusRoot when appropriate, and handle sidebar item activation on accept to navigate views.
- src/styles/*: major visual/theme updates to remove blur/glow effects (Zero-Blur policy), add flat sidebar styles, update components to solid borders and simpler focus styling, adjust theme variables (palette, spacing, durations), and redesign the home view layout and controls.
Rationale: provide a persistent, keyboard/controller-friendly sidebar for quick navigation while simplifying visuals to a flat, performance-friendly theme and refining focus/navigation behavior across sidebar and content regions.
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 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.
