ben 7a53c2964c feat(desktop): Tauri → Electron migration release kit (#1526 )

Ships the last-missing piece of the Electron migration. After this PR
merges there are three one-shot scripts under scripts/migration/ that
carry the whole lifecycle from "cut v0.12.0" through "delete src-tauri":

  01-cut-migration-release.mjs   # bumps versions, writes the release env
                                 # fragment, tags, pushes.
  02-validate-migration.mjs      # guided smoke test against a cut release.
  03-post-migration-cleanup.mjs  # deletes src-tauri, flips defaults,
                                 # scrubs Tauri docs (dry-run by default).

Code landing in the same PR (dormant until a release sets
VITE_OPENWORK_MIGRATION_RELEASE=1):

- apps/desktop/src-tauri/src/commands/migration.rs gains
  migrate_to_electron() — downloads the matching Electron .zip, verifies
  the Apple signature, swaps the .app bundle in place via a detached
  shell script, relaunches, and exits. Windows + Linux branches are
  stubbed with clear TODOs for the follow-up.
- apps/app/src/app/lib/migration.ts grows migrateToElectron() + a
  "later" defer helper.
- apps/app/src/react-app/shell/migration-prompt.tsx adds the one-time
  "OpenWork is moving to a new engine" modal. Mounted from
  providers.tsx. Gated on isTauriRuntime() AND the build-time flag, so
  Electron users and all non-migration-release builds never render it.
- apps/app/vite.config.ts loads apps/app/.env.migration-release when
  present so the prompt gets the release-specific download URLs.
- .gitignore allows the migration-release fragment to be committed only
  on the tagged migration-release commit (removed in cleanup step).

Release workflow:
- .github/workflows/release-macos-aarch64.yml gains a publish-electron
  job alongside the Tauri jobs. Gated on RELEASE_PUBLISH_ELECTRON repo
  var OR the new publish_electron workflow_dispatch input (default
  false). Uses the existing Apple Dev ID secrets — no new credential
  story. Produces latest-mac.yml alongside Tauri's latest.json so a
  v0.12.0 release serves both updaters.

Verified:
  pnpm --filter @openwork/app typecheck   ✓
  cargo check --manifest-path apps/desktop/src-tauri/Cargo.toml   ✓
  node --check on all mjs scripts   ✓
  python yaml parse of release-macos-aarch64.yml   ✓

Not verified (needs a real release cycle):
  end-to-end migration from a signed Tauri .app to a signed Electron
  .app through the detached-script install swap.

Tauri → Electron migration runbook

Three scripts. Run in order. Each one is idempotent and prints what it will do before it does it.

scripts/migration/01-cut-migration-release.mjs   # cut v0.12.0, the last Tauri release
scripts/migration/02-validate-migration.mjs      # guided post-release smoke test
scripts/migration/03-post-migration-cleanup.mjs  # delete src-tauri, flip defaults (run after users stabilize)

When to run what

Step	When	What user-visible effect
01	Ready to ship the migration	Tauri users see "OpenWork is moving" prompt on next update
02	Right after the workflow finishes	Dogfood validation — no user effect
03	After 1-2 weeks of stable Electron telemetry	Dev repo is Electron-only; no user effect

01 — cut-migration-release.mjs

node scripts/migration/01-cut-migration-release.mjs --version 0.12.0 \
  --mac-url 'https://github.com/different-ai/openwork/releases/download/v0.12.0/OpenWork-darwin-arm64-0.12.0-mac.zip' \
  --dry-run         # inspect planned changes first

What it does:

Refuses to run on a dirty working tree.
Runs pnpm bump:set -- <version> (bumps all 5 sync files per AGENTS.md release runbook).
Creates a release-config fragment at apps/app/.env.migration-release setting VITE_OPENWORK_MIGRATION_RELEASE=1 and the per-platform download URLs. The Release App workflow copies this into the build env so the migration prompt is dormant on every other build but live for this release.
Commits the version bump.
Creates and pushes the vX.Y.Z tag.
Prints gh run watch command so you can follow the workflow.

Drop --dry-run to actually execute.

02 — validate-migration.mjs

node scripts/migration/02-validate-migration.mjs --tag v0.12.0

Interactive guided check. Prints steps and confirms each one before moving on:

Downloads the Tauri DMG for the tag and verifies its minisign signature (reuses the existing updater public key).
Downloads the Electron .zip for the tag and verifies the Apple Developer ID signature.
Prompts you to install the Tauri DMG on a fresh machine / VM and confirm the migration prompt appears.
Drops a canary key into localStorage on the Tauri side, triggers "Install now", and checks that the canary survives into the Electron launch via readMigrationSnapshot + localStorage inspection.
Reports pass/fail for each step.

Needs --skip-manual to run the automated parts only. Useful inside a release-review meeting as a shared checklist.

03 — post-migration-cleanup.mjs

node scripts/migration/03-post-migration-cleanup.mjs --dry-run

Once v0.12.x has been stable for 1-2 weeks:

Flips apps/desktop/package.json defaults:
- dev → node ./scripts/electron-dev.mjs
- build → node ./scripts/electron-build.mjs
- package → pnpm run build && pnpm exec electron-builder …
Removes apps/desktop/src-tauri/ entirely.
Strips @tauri-apps/* from apps/app/package.json and apps/story-book/package.json.
Collapses apps/app/src/app/lib/desktop-tauri.ts into desktop.ts (direct Electron implementation).
Updates AGENTS.md, ARCHITECTURE.md, README.md, translated READMEs to drop Tauri references.
Updates the release runbook in AGENTS.md to remove the Cargo.toml and tauri.conf.json version-bump entries.
Creates a commit with the combined cleanup.

Drop --dry-run to actually perform the changes.

Emergency rollback

If the v0.12.0 migration release is bad:

Users on Electron already: ship v0.12.1 via electron-updater. Same mechanism as any other update.
Users still on Tauri: the migrate prompt is gated on VITE_OPENWORK_MIGRATION_RELEASE=1 at build time. Re-cut the release with that flag unset, minisign-sign a replacement latest.json, and users who haven't clicked "Install now" yet will fall back to the non-migrating release.
Users mid-migration: the Rust migrate_to_electron command keeps the previous .app at OpenWork.app.migrate-bak. Instruct users to mv OpenWork.app.migrate-bak OpenWork.app if the Electron launch fails.
