Shantur Rathore d0a0325d7e feat(sidecars): add proxied sidecar tabs (#279)
## Summary
- add SideCar support across the server and UI, including proxied tabs,
picker/settings flows, and websocket-aware proxying
- unify top-level tab handling so workspace instances and SideCars share
the same tab model and navigation flows
- limit SideCars to port-based services only, removing server-managed
process control from the final API and UI

CodeNomad App

This package contains the native desktop application shell for CodeNomad, built with Electron.

Overview

The Electron app wraps the CodeNomad UI and Server into a standalone executable. It provides deeper system integration, such as:

  • Native window management
  • Global keyboard shortcuts
  • Application menu integration

Development

To run the Electron app in development mode:

npm run dev

This will start the renderer (UI) and the main process with hot reloading.

Building

To build the application for your current platform:

npm run build

To build for specific platforms (requires appropriate build tools):

  • macOS: npm run build:mac
  • Windows: npm run build:win
  • Linux: npm run build:linux

Structure

  • electron/main: Main process code (window creation, IPC).
  • electron/preload: Preload scripts for secure bridge between main and renderer.
  • electron/resources: Static assets like icons.
