- Search existing PRs related to that issue which might close them
- Confirm if other contributors are working on the same issue
- Check if the feature aligns with the project's roadmap and goals
- Search existing PRs related to that issue
- Confirm no other contributors are working on the same issue
- Check if the feature aligns with the project's goals

## Development Setup
### Using Nix
If you have [Nix](https://nixos.org/) installed, you can skip the manual setup below and simply run:
### Using Nix (recommended)
```bash
nix develop
# or if you use direnv
direnv allow
nix run .#setup # Install dependencies
nix run .#tauri-dev # Start development server
nix run .#test # Run all checks
```
This will provide Node.js, Rust, and all necessary system libraries.
Or enter the dev shell: `nix develop`
### Manual Setup
Ensure you have the following dependencies installed:
- Node.js (see `.node-version` for exact version)
- pnpm package manager
- Latest Rust and Cargo toolchain
- [Tauri prerequisites guide](https://v2.tauri.app/start/prerequisites/).
## Run Locally
After having the above dependencies installed, proceed through the following steps to setup the codebase locally:
1. **Fork the project** & [clone](https://docs.github.com/en/repositories/creating-and-managing-repositories/cloning-a-repository) it locally.
2. **Create a new separate branch.**
```bash
git checkout -b feature/my-feature-name
```
3. **Install frontend dependencies**
```bash
pnpm install
```
4. **Start the development server**
```bash
pnpm tauri dev
```
This will start the app for local development with live reloading.
## Code Style & Quality
The project uses several tools to maintain code quality:
- **Biome** for JavaScript/TypeScript linting and formatting
- **Clippy** for Rust linting
- **rustfmt** for Rust formatting
### Before Committing
Run these commands to ensure your code meets the project's standards:
Requirements:
- Node.js (see `.node-version`)
- pnpm
- Rust + Cargo (latest stable)
- [Tauri v2 prerequisites](https://v2.tauri.app/start/prerequisites/)
```bash
# Format and lint frontend code
pnpm format:js
# Format and lint Rust code
pnpm format:rust
# Run all linting
pnpm lint
git checkout -b feature/my-feature-name
pnpm install
pnpm tauri dev
```
## Building
## Quality Checks
It is crucial to test your code before submitting a pull request. Please ensure that you can make a complete production build before you submit your code for merging.
Run before every commit:
```bash
# Build the frontend
pnpm build
# Build the backend
cd src-tauri && cargo build
# Build the Tauri application
pnpm tauri build
pnpm format && pnpm lint && pnpm test
```
Make sure the build completes successfully without errors.
This runs:
- **Biome** — JS/TS linting and formatting
- **Clippy + rustfmt** — Rust linting and formatting
- **typos** — Spellcheck (allowlist in `_typos.toml`)
- **CodeQL** — Security analysis (JS, Actions, Rust) — runs in CI
- **Unit tests** — 330+ Rust tests
- **Integration tests** — proxy, sync e2e
## Testing
### Running CodeQL locally
- Always test your changes on the target platform
- Verify that existing functionality still works
- Add tests for new features when possible
```bash
# Install: brew install codeql
codeql pack download codeql/javascript-queries codeql/rust-queries
# JavaScript
codeql database create /tmp/codeql-js --language=javascript --source-root=.
codeql database analyze /tmp/codeql-js --format=sarifv2.1.0 --output=/tmp/js.sarif codeql/javascript-queries
# Rust
codeql database create /tmp/codeql-rust --language=rust --source-root=.
codeql database analyze /tmp/codeql-rust --format=sarifv2.1.0 --output=/tmp/rust.sarif codeql/rust-queries
```
## Key Rules
- **Translations**: Any UI text changes must be reflected in all 7 locale files (`src/i18n/locales/`)
- **Tauri commands**: If you modify Tauri commands, the `test_no_unused_tauri_commands` test will catch unused ones
- **No hardcoded colors**: Use theme CSS variables (see `src/lib/themes.ts`), never Tailwind color classes like `text-red-500`
- **No lock file changes**: Don't update `pnpm-lock.yaml` or `Cargo.lock` unless updating dependencies is the purpose of the PR
- **AGPL-3.0**: This project is AGPL-licensed. Derivatives must be open source with the same license
## Pull Request Guidelines
🎉 Now that you're ready to submit your code for merging, there are some points to keep in mind:
- Fill the PR description template
- Reference related issues (`Fixes #123` or `Refs #123`)
- Include screenshots/videos for UI changes
- Ensure "Allow edits from maintainers" is checked
### PR Description
## Architecture
- Fill your PR description template accordingly
- Have an appropriate title and description
- Include relevant screenshots for UI changes. If you can include video/gifs, it is even better.
- Reference related issues
### Linking Issues
If your PR fixes an issue, add this line **in the body** of the Pull Request description:
```text
Fixes #00000
```
If your PR is referencing an issue:
```text
Refs #00000
```
