Completely remove Progressive Web App features including VitePWA plugin, service workers, install prompts, and platform service PWA methods. Delete PWA component, service worker files, help images, and update build configurations. Simplify application architecture by removing PWA complexity while maintaining core functionality.
- Deleted src/registerServiceWorker.ts and all related imports
- Cleaned up WebPlatformService and main.web.ts to remove manual SW logic
- Updated VitePWA config for correct dev/prod SW handling
- Fixed missing FontAwesome download icon in PWA prompt
- Updated docs to reflect new PWA registration approach
PWA now works reliably in all web environments with zero manual SW code.
- Add PWAInstallPrompt component for custom install UI and event handling
- Register PWAInstallPrompt in App.vue for global visibility
- Enable PWA features and install prompt in dev, test, and prod (vite.config.web.mts)
- Update service worker registration to work in all environments
- Update docs/build-web-script-integration.md with PWA install guidance and visual cues
- Add scripts/build-web.sh for unified web build/dev workflow
PWA is now installable and testable in all web environments, with clear user prompts and desktop support.
- Removed extra blank lines at end of file to resolve MD012 (no-multiple-blanks)
- Standardized heading spacing to resolve MD019 (no-multiple-space-atx)
- Stripped trailing whitespace and ensured file ends with a single newline
All changes maintain content integrity and bring the file into full markdownlint compliance.
Remove CORS headers to enable universal image support and fix local API server settings.
## Changes
**Remove CORS Headers**
- Remove Cross-Origin-Opener-Policy and Cross-Origin-Embedder-Policy headers
- Enables images from any domain (Facebook, Medium, arbitrary websites)
- Database falls back to IndexedDB mode (minimal performance impact)
**Fix Local Development Configuration**
- Set LOCAL_ENDORSER_API_SERVER to http://127.0.0.1:3000 (was "/api")
- Create .env.development with local API server config
- Fix ensureCorrectApiServer() method in HomeView.vue
- "Use Local" button now sets proper localhost address
**Fix Settings Cache Issues**
- Add PlatformServiceMixin to AccountViewView.vue
- Disable settings caching to prevent stale data
- Settings changes now apply immediately without browser refresh
## Impact
**Tradeoffs:**
- Lost: ~2x SharedArrayBuffer database performance
- Gained: Universal image support from any domain
- Result: Better user experience, database still fast via IndexedDB
**Files Modified:**
- Configuration: vite.config.*.mts, index.html, .env.development
- Source: constants/app.ts, libs/util.ts, views/*.vue, utils/PlatformServiceMixin.ts
## Rationale
For a community platform, universal image support is more critical than marginal
database performance gains. Users share images from arbitrary websites, making
CORS restrictions incompatible with Time Safari's core mission.
- Implement worker-only database access to eliminate double migrations
- Add parameter serialization in usePlatformService to prevent Capacitor "object could not be cloned" errors
- Fix infinite logging loop with circuit breaker in databaseUtil
- Use dynamic imports in WebPlatformService to prevent worker thread errors
- Add higher-level database methods (getContacts, getSettings) to composable
- Eliminate Vue Proxy objects through JSON serialization and Object.freeze protection
Resolves Proxy(Array) serialization failures and worker context conflicts across Web/Capacitor/Electron platforms.
- Update worker format to ESM in Vite config to fix IIFE format error
- Increase PWA precache file size limit to 10MB to accommodate SQL.js files
- Fix type declarations for worker configuration
- Add proper type annotations for Vite config
- Add type declarations for absurd-sql module
Split monolithic vite.config.mjs into separate config files:
- vite.config.web.mts
- vite.config.electron.mts
- vite.config.capacitor.mts
- vite.config.pywebview.mts
- vite.config.common.mts
- vite.config.utils.mts
Updates:
- Modify package.json scripts to use specific config files
- Add electron-builder as dev dependency
- Update electron build configuration
- Fix electron resource paths
- Remove old vite.config.mjs and utils.js
This change improves maintainability by:
- Separating concerns for different build targets
- Making build configurations more explicit
- Reducing complexity in individual config files
