History / Building From Source Desktop

Revisions

  • Audited and corrected wiki docs against the codebase Audited every wiki page against the actual code, smoke tests, and in-repo docs, then fixed the verified inaccuracies. The cross-cutting corrections: the MCP HTTP port (3747 to 3475), the real MCP tool names (list_media_files, search_media_files, etc.), removal of commands and flags that do not exist (secrets delete to remove, the bogus secrets import --public-key, psi geocode), and the config file names (databases.json/desktop.json to .toml). Also clarified that S3 credentials live in the secrets vault or AWS_* env vars and are never stored in a toml file. Reworked the larger pages: Command-Reference gained the missing commands (mcp, news, hash-cache) and corrected flag names, while internal-only items were kept out (the debug REST API option, the debug tools group, clear-cache, and the orphan commands). Database-Code had a fabricated IPsi/Psi section removed and its package paths corrected (packages/api to packages/node-api). Claude-Integration and How-It-Works dropped hard tool counts so they will not need updating on every tool change. Restructured the getting-started guides for non-developers: removed the build-from-source section and all CLI references from the desktop guide, added a "Where to store your database" section recommending a local-primary, cloud-replica, partial-on-constrained-devices strategy with a mermaid diagram, and pointed cloud storage at the existing configuration doc (which already carries the DigitalOcean Spaces recommendation). Added two new developer pages, Building-From-Source-CLI and Building-From-Source-Desktop, with commands taken from the real package.json scripts. Finally, stripped every em dash from all wiki pages to match the project's style rule (bold definition lists became colons, other em dashes became commas). The legacy database-format checksum wording was left as-is because it could not be verified against the now-removed v5 source, and the unfinished Overview-Summary-Draft page was deleted.
