# Floating search launcher
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
The desktop opens as a centered search bar rather than a conventional document
|
|||
|
|
window. The empty launcher requests 720 × 110 logical pixels. Typing or opening
|
|||
|
|
settings, filters, local-model details or folder controls expands it to
|
|||
|
|
1080 × 700. Native sizing stays inside the current monitor's work area, including
|
|||
|
|
its scale factor and taskbar. A small display receives a smaller window.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
The window is frameless, above ordinary windows, and omitted from the taskbar.
|
|||
|
|
Its header can be dragged; the dedicated hide button, Escape and the existing
|
|||
|
|
tray/global shortcut retain the resident workflow. The rounded shell uses the
|
|||
|
|
configured native glass/frosted material where supported and the existing
|
|||
|
|
opaque/high-contrast fallback otherwise. No CSS blur is presented as native
|
|||
|
|
desktop transparency. Brief content transitions respect reduced motion and do
|
|||
|
|
not defer search requests.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Installed applications have a separate list above file matches and a simple
|
|||
|
|
launch preview. Arrow keys move across applications and files while preserving
|
|||
|
|
typing focus; Enter launches the selected application or opens the selected
|
|||
|
|
file. Application identities are opaque backend identifiers, not pretend file
|
|||
|
|
paths or invented passages. Filters keep application suggestions out of scoped
|
|||
|
|
file searches. Application requests are local lexical lookups and do not wait
|
|||
|
|
for semantic inference.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Input immediately invalidates the previous application selection. A launch
|
|||
|
|
requires the current query and the settled request revision, so a late response
|
|||
|
|
or an immediate Enter after editing cannot launch an older suggestion. File
|
|||
|
|
search timing remains separately measured; the result summary includes visible
|
|||
|
|
application counts, and application-only matches suppress the empty-file state.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Automatic local-drive indexing is enabled by default. Its settings checkbox can
|
|||
|
|
disable future automatic work while retaining searchable indexed content;
|
|||
|
|
additional folder controls live inside settings. Existing active work is not
|
|||
|
|
claimed to be instantly cancelled by the checkbox. Model progress and retry
|
|||
|
|
remain available through local-search setup details.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
## Validation recorded so far
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
- Frontend TypeScript/Vite build passed on desktop version 0.1.8.
|
|||
|
|
- All 62 existing frontend tests passed; Prettier checks passed.
|
|||
|
|
- Final Windows desktop checks passed 56 tests (one optional actual-catalog
|
|||
|
|
check ignored); strict all-target Clippy passed. Linux passed 56 desktop tests.
|
|||
|
|
- The background opacity control spans 40–100%, previews while dragging, and
|
|||
|
|
applies directly to both glass materials. Local 60% reading tints protect
|
|||
|
|
input, labels and controls; result and preview panes remain opaque.
|
|||
|
|
- Twelve CPU browser composition checks passed across both themes, both glass
|
|||
|
|
materials and 40/90/100% opacity. This verifies actual built CSS alpha,
|
|||
|
|
independently of native compositor validation.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
These checks alone do not establish native pixels, dragging, tray interaction,
|
|||
|
|
rounded compositor corners or application launching. Actual final-build UI
|
|||
|
|
capture and keyboard interaction belong in
|
|||
|
|
[the native validation report](NATIVE-FINAL-VALIDATION.md).
