LocalDrop 1.1.2

LocalDrop 1.1.2

[1.1.2] — 2026-10-02

Two packaging faults made the released binaries unusable. Both passed CI,
passed localdrop --check, and were only found by installing the published
artefact and opening it. 1.1.1 was withdrawn within minutes of publication for
the first of them.

Fixed

• The web UI was never served. The SPA directory had two resolvers:
  launcher._bundled() used sys._MEIPASS, while main.SPA_DIST used
  Path(__file__).parent / "static". PyInstaller points __file__ at
  <bundle>/localdrop/main.py, so the second looked in
  <bundle>/localdrop/static while the files ship in <bundle>/static.
  SPA_DIST.exists() was therefore always False in a frozen build, so the
  catch-all route and the /assets mount were never registered:
  GET /api/v1/version returned 200 and GET / returned 404. if spa.exists() made it silent. --check missed it precisely because it
  already used the correct resolver. Both callers now share one implementation
  in localdrop/paths.py, and a missing SPA logs an error at startup instead of
  quietly degrading to 404s.
• The Windows archive dropped the whole PyInstaller payload. The archive walk
  was gated on exe.is_dir(), which is never true because exe is a file in
  both build modes, so _internal/ was omitted and the binary died with
  Failed to load Python DLL .../_internal/python312.dll. The published zip had
  3 entries where it should have had 803.

Added

• Regression tests for both, in the shape that failed: one builds a fake
  <bundle> and asserts main.SPA_DIST finds the real index.html, the other
  builds a one-directory payload and asserts the archive contains it. Both were
  verified to fail against the code that shipped.
