Fbrowser

Fbrowser is being migrated from a Python/PyQt desktop app to a Rust + Tauri + React desktop application.

Repository Layout

src/: React frontend for the new desktop app.
src-tauri/: Tauri host application and IPC command layer.
crates/: Shared Rust workspace crates for catalog, audio, MIDI, archives, and future plugin-facing APIs.
migrations/: SQLite schema migrations for the new local catalog.
python-src/: Legacy Python implementation kept as a feature reference during migration.

Current Status

The new Tauri/Rust/React application builds successfully.
The legacy Python code has been moved out of the repository root to keep the migration boundary clear.
The desktop shell, catalog model, scan pipeline, archive utilities, timer, waveform generation, and transport scaffolding are in place.
Some areas are still scaffold-level rather than production-complete, especially MIDI playback internals and broader archive-format support.

Verification

Frontend production build: npm run build
Rust workspace checks/tests: cargo check --manifest-path src-tauri/Cargo.toml and cargo test --workspace

Notes

The Python code under python-src/ is no longer the primary application entrypoint.
The new root-level app is the active migration target.
