Summary

A complete Rust + Tauri port of this app was built on 2026-02-21, never pushed to any remote, and later lost when its working directory was deleted. Nothing in this repository recorded that it ever existed. Searching every branch, tag and commit for "Rust" or "Tauri" returns zero hits.

The port has since been recovered from a Codex session transcript and lives at https://github.com/razbakov/skill-mix-rust (private). It compiles.

This PR adds docs/decisions/2026-02-21-rust-tauri-port.md so the fork in the road is documented where the project actually lives.

What the note says

  • Timeline. Electron was chosen on 2026-02-20 over Tauri and SwiftUI. The Rust port began the next day at 18:18:53 UTC, 74 seconds after 4962dc2 was tagged v0.1.0, and reversed that choice.
  • Why it was attempted. The only motivation on record is distribution: a double-clickable installed app and real cross-platform packaging. The port's tauri.conf.json targets dmg, app, msi, nsis, deb, appimage, rpm.
  • Why it was abandoned. Not recorded anywhere. No transcript, commit, issue or note. The port stops after 2026-02-21 and Electron continues to v0.7.1.
  • Where the missing analysis probably is. The branch codex/evaluate-rust-rewrite-options (pushed 2026-02-21 13:30 UTC, about five hours before the build) is a Codex Cloud auto-generated slug, but it carries no evaluation artifact: one commit, cleanup, touching a single .tape file. That means the evaluation was delivered as chat and lives in Codex Cloud, not on disk.

The note is careful to separate what the evidence establishes from what it does not.

Scope

Documentation only. No code, config or behaviour changes.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Documentation
    • Added a decision record documenting a completed Rust/Tauri desktop application port.
    • Records the port’s cross-platform distribution goals, included modules, frontend reuse, and current superseded status in favor of Electron.

A complete Rust + Tauri port of this app was built on 2026-02-21, never pushed,
and later lost with its working directory. Nothing here recorded that it ever
existed: searching every branch, tag and commit for "Rust" or "Tauri" returns
nothing.

The port has since been recovered from a session transcript. This note captures
the timeline, the stated motivation (desktop distribution and cross-platform
packaging, reversing the Electron decision made the day before), and is explicit
that the reason for abandoning it is not recorded anywhere on disk.

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to f12fa

This documentation-only change records the recovered Rust + Tauri port and does not alter product behavior. One minor inconsistency remains in the stated module count versus the listed modules; it is localized and non-blocking, with no actionable merge-blocking risk.

backend at `v0.1.0`: `scanner`, `actions`, `config`, `importing`, `exporting`,
`recommendations`, `snapshot`, `skill_review`, `commands`, `models`, `util`,
`constants`. The Vue frontend was reused unchanged apart from swapping the Electron

Reconcile the module count with the module list.

Line 57 states 15 Rust modules, but Lines 58-60 name only 12 modules. If the list is complete, add the missing modules or correct the count. If it is illustrative, change the wording to including.

P2 Badge Narrow the claimed history search to port-specific references

At the parent of this commit, docs/competitors.md:165 already describes cortesi/skills as Rust-based, and docs/landscape.md:112 also names Rust, so searching the repository or its history for "Rust" does not return nothing. This makes the note's stated evidence demonstrably false; narrow the claim to Tauri or references specifically connecting Rust to this port.
