# Tooling

The toolchain combines Bun scripts, Cargo workspace commands, Tauri, Specta, Vitest, Python packaging checks, and GitHub Actions.

## Scripts

`package.json` is the command index. It defines frontend checks, Rust checks, binding generation/checks, builds, smoke tests, packaging checks, release metadata checks, and full verification.

## Generated files

`frontend/src/bindings.ts` is generated from `src-tauri/src/specta_bindings.rs`. The debug app export in `src-tauri/src/main.rs` updates it during debug runs, and `bun run bindings:check` verifies it without opening the GUI.

## CI and release

`.github/workflows/ci.yml` runs verification for normal changes. `.github/workflows/release.yml` builds release artifacts, macOS bundles, Linux packages, package metadata, and repository assets. Helper scripts live under `scripts` and are covered by Python or Node checks where applicable.

## Package metadata

Linux metadata is validated by `scripts/validate_linux_package_metadata.py` and tests under `tests`. JSON config sanity is handled by `bun run package:check`.

For release behavior, see [Deployment](deployment.md) and [Reference dependencies](reference--dependencies.md).
