Summary

  • Add one-scan QR pairing from the PC release, including the local address, remote token, and TLS certificate pin.
  • Prevent duplicate Windows release instances and keep token initialization consistent.
  • Carry forward the related mobile UX, setup documentation, release installer, and quick-action changes.
  • Include the Blinky project description.

Verification

  • Built release EXE and Android APK.
  • Verified the release PC WebSocket TLS certificate, QR token authentication, and system-info response.
  • Confirmed the attached phone can reach the PC WebSocket port.
  • Frontend and mobile TypeScript checks passed.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Added QR-code phone pairing in Settings, with a message when network details are unavailable.
    • Added Volume Up and Volume Down quick actions.
  • Bug Fixes
    • Prevented duplicate app windows from opening on Windows.
    • Improved promo-code modal behavior when the keyboard is open on Android.
  • Documentation
    • Added instructions for installing and connecting Android debug and release builds.

Keep desktop releases single-instance and share the generated remote token consistently. Expose local pairing details to the PC QR code, preserve secure mobile setup guidance, and include the associated mobile and onboarding changes.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The changes add release phone pairing through a QR code, update Android development workflows and mobile behavior, prevent duplicate Windows app launches, and revise project documentation.

Changes

Phone pairing

Layer / File(s) Summary
Pairing data and QR display
common/src-tauri/src/websocket.rs, common/frontend/src/lib/tauri.ts, common/frontend/src/CommandBar.tsx
Transport information includes the local IP and release remote token. Release settings can show a QR code with the IP, port, token, and certificate pin. QR rendering errors are logged.

Mobile app updates

Layer / File(s) Summary
Mobile actions and runtime behavior
common/mobile/components/ActionsScreen.tsx, common/mobile/components/PromoCodeModal.tsx, common/mobile/lib/purchases.ts, common/mobile/tests/purchases.test.ts
Quick actions add volume controls. Non-iOS keyboard avoidance uses height. Development purchase logging uses the error level, which is also added to the test mock.
Android debug install workflow
common/mobile/install_apk.bat, common/mobile/README.md
The installer defaults to the debug APK and selects release only when passed release. The installer and README describe the development app, forwarded ports, and localhost connections.

Windows single-instance guard

Layer / File(s) Summary
Windows startup guard
common/src-tauri/Cargo.toml, common/src-tauri/src/lib.rs
Windows startup checks a named mutex and returns before building the Tauri app if another instance holds it. The Windows dependency features add security and threading APIs.

Project documentation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Project overview and presentation
README.md, shipaton-description.md
The README header and overview table are revised. The new project description covers features, technology, challenges, accomplishments, lessons, and planned work.

Redraw the QR when settings reopen.

If a user shows the pairing code, closes settings, and reopens settings, showPairQr remains true. The settings dropdown mounts a new canvas, but neither effect dependency changes. The new canvas remains blank.

Include showSettings in the effect dependencies and require it in the guard, or draw the QR through a canvas callback ref.

Do not permit startup when an existing mutex denies access.

If Blinky first runs elevated and then launches normally in the same session, CreateMutexW can fail with ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED. It requests MUTEX_ALL_ACCESS, which the lower-integrity process cannot obtain. (learn.microsoft.com)

This branch then returns true and starts a second Tauri application, defeating the single-instance guard.

Check GetLastError() before permitting startup. Reject access-denied launches. Consider CreateMutexExW with only the access rights needed for this existence check. (learn.microsoft.com)

Update the cached token when regenerating the pairing code.

After get_remote_token() initializes REMOTE_TOKEN, regenerate_remote_token() updates only .env and the environment (Lines 608–616). Every subsequent token lookup still returns the initial token.

The “Regenerate code” action in common/frontend/src/CommandBar.tsx therefore cannot activate the replacement token during the current process. Use synchronized, replaceable token storage, and update it after persistence succeeds.

Comment thread README.md
Learning complex desktop software often means switching between tutorials, documentation, and the application itself. Blinky brings help into the workflow: ask a question about the current screen, get a grounded next step, and see the relevant control highlighted in the app. When requested, Blinky can also carry out bounded desktop actions. A companion app extends selected controls to an Android phone.

Keep descriptive table headers.

Line 40 replaces Element and Description with empty headers. Assistive technology cannot use those headers to identify the table’s columns. Restore the names or provide equivalent accessible headers.
