Summary

The desktop app ships builds for every platform (v2.63.0: universal .dmg, x64 .msi, x86_64 .AppImage / .deb), but both the README and the landing page still opened with npm install -g and hid the desktop app in a collapsed "beta" block. A visitor who wanted an installer had to find the releases page on their own.

README (English and all seven locales)

  • The existing brand banner now heads the README, with a desktop release badge beside the npm badge and a row of three platform download buttons (new assets/download-{macos,windows,linux}.svg, one near-black family that reads on GitHub light and dark). The npm command stays directly below as the CLI alternative.
  • Quick start opens with Desktop app (beta): a platform / file / notes table (signing state, SmartScreen, AppIndicator, .sha256 sidecars, widget). The local build gets separate command sequences for macOS (with prepare-widget) and for Windows/Linux (without it). The old collapsed desktop block is folded into this section, and Personal install (CLI) follows.
  • Supported platforms gains a Desktop app column; the Node 18+ requirement is scoped to the CLI install.
  • The three SVGs are added to package.json files so the npm package page renders them too.
  • fr, ko, zh-CN, zh-TW, ru, ja, tr are translated rather than copied, and readme/i18n-manifest.json is resynced to the new README hash.

Landing page (docs-site, all eight locales)

  • A one-line Desktop beta pill above the hero headline links to the download section.
  • The hero primary action is Download, upgraded to "Download for macOS / Windows / Linux" when the platform is detected. Get Started is the secondary button.
  • The #download section is centred and shows only the detected platform's card. The other two platforms sit under an Other platforms disclosure (native <details>), with outline buttons. Visitors with no supported desktop detection keep all three cards: phones, tablets, iPadOS in desktop mode, ChromeOS, ARM Linux, and pages without JavaScript. Linux counts as detected only on x86_64, using the client-hint architecture when the browser provides it.
  • There are no SHA-256 links on the cards. The footer's All releases and checksums link is the path to the checksums.
  • Download links go to releases/latest by default. The page then calls the GitHub releases API and replaces them with the real asset URLs and the release tag. If JavaScript is off, the API rate limit is hit, or the request fails, the releases/latest defaults stay in place.
  • A "Prefer the terminal?" row keeps the npm command and links the installation guide, all releases, and the desktop guide; the docs map gains a Desktop App entry.

Verification

  • Detection matrix. I ran headless Chrome with CDP Emulation.setUserAgentOverride, setting the UA and client-hint metadata, and used touch emulation for the iPad case.
    • Windows, x86 Linux and macOS each show only their own card, with the other two inside the disclosure and the hero reading "Download for …".
    • ARM Linux, iPadOS desktop mode (maxTouchPoints 5), an Android UA and the no-JS HTML keep all three cards with the disclosure hidden.
    • Every case renders zero "SHA-256" strings, and with JavaScript the .dmg link resolves to releases/download/v2.63.0/OpenCodex-2.63.0-macos.dmg.
    • The full matrix is in devlog/_fin/260923_desktop_download_focus/010_evidence.md.
  • bun test tests/ci-workflows/docs-readme-translation-parity.test.ts tests/ci-workflows/repo-hygiene.test.ts tests/ci-workflows/docs-link-targets.test.ts tests/ci-workflows/install-scripts.test.ts tests/ci-workflows/file-size-ratchet.test.ts → 94 pass, 0 fail.
  • cd docs-site && bun run build → 497 pages built, and the internal-links check passed on 65,499 links. The built dist/fr/index.html contains the new French strings, because astro build does not type-check the fr dictionary keys.
  • bun run privacy:scan passed; git diff --check is clean.
  • The full bun run test and bun run typecheck were not run locally, because the change touches no src/ or TypeScript runtime code. That coverage is left to the exact-head CI.

Checklist

  • Scope stays focused and avoids unrelated cleanup.
  • Docs or release notes were updated when needed.
  • Security-sensitive changes were reviewed for secrets, auth, and unsafe defaults. (The client-side fetch is an unauthenticated public GitHub API read; no tokens involved.)

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Added a desktop-app download section to the landing page, with macOS, Windows, and Linux options. The page can recommend a detected platform and provide links to the latest release.
    • Added desktop-app download badges, platform details, and installation guidance across the README translations.
  • Documentation
    • Clarified that Node 18+ is required for CLI installation, while the desktop app requires neither Node nor Bun.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

This change documents desktop app beta packages in the README files and adds localized download options to the landing page. The page detects desktop platforms, recommends a matching download card, and updates download links from the latest GitHub release.

Changes

Desktop App Beta Downloads

Layer / File(s) Summary
Document desktop packages and requirements
README.md, readme/README.*.md, readme/i18n-manifest.json
The README files add platform download links and package details, move desktop app information into visible sections, and distinguish CLI runtime requirements from desktop app requirements. The translation manifest updates source hashes.
Add localized landing-page download options
docs-site/src/components/Landing.astro, docs-site/src/styles/custom.css, package.json, devlog/_fin/260923_desktop_download_focus/*
The landing page adds localized desktop download cards, platform detection, and release asset links with server-rendered fallbacks. Styles support the announcement and responsive cards. The package allowlist includes download icons. The devlog records the plan and observed checks.
Detect platforms and update release links
docs-site/src/components/Landing.astro
Client-side logic recommends the matching card and fetches the latest GitHub release. It updates links for matching assets and displays the release version when available.

Inline comments:
In `@docs-site/src/components/Landing.astro`:
- Line 323: Update the download links in the Landing component so the existing
appimage.sha256 link is clearly labeled for the AppImage, and add a separate DEB
checksum link using the deb.sha256 asset key. Add deb.sha256 to the asset
patterns used by the release collector so the new link resolves to the DEB
sidecar.
- Line 536: Update the device-selection logic around handheld and platform so
desktop-mode iPads are excluded before macOS selection, and Windows and Linux
cards are selected only when the device explicitly reports a supported x64
architecture. Keep the neutral download label and cards for unsupported or
unknown devices.

In `@docs-site/src/styles/custom.css`:
- Around line 342-343: Update the “New” tag styling in the custom CSS to meet
the 4.5:1 contrast minimum for small text. Use a darker text color such as
`#1a1a1a`, or darken the background while preserving the tag’s existing styling.
- Around line 332-333: Update the announcement pill styles containing
`white-space: nowrap` and `max-width: 100%` so the announcement text can wrap on
narrow screens, or apply a narrow-screen layout that keeps the full link text
visible within the hero.
- Around line 943-947: Update the .lp-dl-reco styling so the recommendation
label participates in normal card flow and cannot overlap the platform mark when
the three-column grid is narrow; alternatively, reduce the column count before
cards reach that width.

In `@README.md`:
- Line 110: Separate the desktop build instructions by host platform so Windows
and Linux can run the supported bundle build without `prepare-widget`, which
requires macOS. In README.md (line 110), readme/README.fr.md (line 112),
readme/README.ja.md (line 110), readme/README.ko.md (line 110),
readme/README.ru.md (line 114), readme/README.tr.md (line 111),
readme/README.zh-CN.md (line 109), and readme/README.zh-TW.md (line 108),
provide a macOS sequence that includes `prepare-widget` and a separate
Windows/Linux sequence that omits it.

Split the local desktop build into macOS and Windows/Linux sequences, give the .deb its own checksum link, skip the Linux recommendation on ARM, let the launch pill wrap on narrow screens, raise the New tag contrast, and keep the recommendation badge in card flow.

이 PR은 데스크톱 앱 받기를 README와 랜딩의 맨 앞에 둬요. README 여덟 개(영어와 번역 일곱)는 배너 아래에 macOS, Windows, Linux 버튼을 두고, 빠른 시작을 데스크톱 앱부터 열어요. 설치 파일 이름, 서명, SmartScreen, 리눅스 트레이, macOS에서만 위젯을 빌드하는 순서가 표에 들어가요. CLI는 그다음이고, Node 18은 CLI에만 필요하다고 적혀요. 베이스는 dev예요.

랜딩의 큰 버튼은 다운로드예요. 플랫폼을 알아내면 글자가 "macOS용 다운로드"처럼 바뀌어요. 아래에는 카드 세 장이 있고, 맞는 카드에만 추천 배지가 붙어요. 버튼 주소는 처음에 릴리스 목록이에요. 그다음 깃허브 API로 최신 파일 주소를 넣어요. API가 실패하면 목록 주소가 남아요. 아이패드 데스크톱 모드와 ARM 리눅스는 추천하지 않아요. 윈도우 ARM은 x64 설치 파일을 추천해요. 체크섬 링크, 배지 겹침, 알약 줄바꿈, New 색 대비는 헤드 63dd420에 이미 고쳐져 있어요.

docs-site/src/components/Landing.astro:259 - 큰 버튼 글자는 그 플랫폼용 다운로드인데, 주소는 #download예요. 549행은 글자만 바꿔요. 파일 주소는 카드 링크만 바뀌어요. "macOS용 다운로드"를 눌러도 파일이 받지 않고, 아래 칸으로 내려가요.

docs-site/src/styles/custom.css:864 - 너비가 768px을 넘으면 카드가 세 칸이에요. 919행 버튼은 줄바꿈이 없어요. .AppImage가 붙은 리눅스 버튼은 세 칸이 막 생긴 너비에서 카드보다 길어요. 일본어 "ダウンロード", 프랑스어 "Télécharger"는 더 길어요. PR 본문의 확인은 1440px와 320px라서, 그 사이가 빠져요.

README.md:108 - 릴리스 dmg는 Developer ID로 서명되고 공증된다고 적혀 있어요. 바로 아래 로컬 빌드 명령에는, 로컬 빌드가 ad-hoc 서명이라는 말이 없어요. 번역 일곱도 같아요. 접혀 있던 예전 문장에는 있었어요. 로컬로 만든 앱은 Gatekeeper가 릴리스와 다르게 막아요.

메인테이너의 판단이 필요한 지점

README 버튼 세 개는 모두 releases/latest예요. 파일 이름에 버전이 들어 있어서, 고정된 파일 이름이 없으면 그 플랫폼 파일을 짚을 수 없어요. 릴리스에 버전 없는 이름을 추가할지, 지금처럼 목록 페이지로 보낼지 정해 주셔야 해요.

너의 추천

히어로 버튼은 파일 주소가 정해지면 그 주소로 바꾸세요. 그 전에는 글자를 "다운로드"로 두세요. 카드 버튼은 줄바꿈을 허용하거나, 버튼이 카드 안에 들어가는 너비까지 한 칸으로 두세요. README 여덟 곳에, 로컬 빌드는 ad-hoc 서명이라는 문장을 다시 넣으세요. 문서 사이트 CI는 아직 끝나지 않았어요. 그 빌드가 통과한 다음에 머지하세요.

이 댓글은 grok-bot이 작성했습니다

The launch pill is one line (Desktop beta), the download section shows only the detected platform card with the others in an Other platforms disclosure, and the SHA-256 links are gone. Undetected platforms and no-JS keep all three cards.

🟡 Minor · Allow the Linux download button to wrap in the three-card layout. · custom.css:826-852

docs-site/src/styles/custom.css:826-852
🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Allow the Linux download button to wrap in the three-card layout.

At widths just above 48rem, the three cards can be about 216px wide, leaving about 170px inside the Linux card after its padding and borders. The button's fixed padding, icon, gap, and Télécharger .AppImage label exceed that width. Because the button uses white-space: nowrap and the flex container does not wrap, the label can paint outside the card. This is independent of the recommendation label, which is hidden unless a card is recommended.
