Tauri gives us a way to build a small platform application, while still allowing deployment as a conventional web app. The built macos arm64 app is around 3.5 megabytes!
This also will enable us to have a command line interface, e.g. via https://v2.tauri.app/plugin/cli/ (not covered in this PR).
Warning
This introduces a development-time Rust dependence, as that is how Tauri works -- the "server side"/launcher is written in Rust.
