Walkthrough

Switch documentation and examples from a dual-tool dev workflow (hc-launch/tauri + hc-spin) to a single hc-spin workflow: remove hc-launch/tauri references and scripts, update install and WSL guidance, adjust happ launch options (bootstrap/signaling/network-seed), and add build changes (RUSTFLAGS) and hc-spin version bump.

Changes

Cohort / File(s)	Change Summary
Getting started & front-end guide src/pages/build/connecting-a-front-end.md, src/pages/get-started/index.md, src/pages/get-started/install-advanced.md, src/pages/get-started/install-without-nix.md	Replaced hc-launch/tauri guidance with hc-spin-only workflow; removed holochain_cli_launch install steps; simplified apt package lists (removed adwaita-icon-theme and related deps); added explicit npm run start snippet and package-manager note; updated WSL2 SUID sandbox and per-hApp hc-spin notes.
Compatibility docs src/pages/resources/compatibility/holochain-0.6.md, src/pages/resources/compatibility/index.md	Removed hc-launch entries/rows and references from compatibility tables and CLI-tools list; left scaffolding, hc-spin, and playground entries.
Network, launcher scripts & upgrade guide src/pages/resources/howtos/running-network-infrastructure.md, src/pages/resources/upgrade/upgrade-holochain-0.6.md	Added bootstrap/signaling URL options and network-seed to happ launch examples; removed tauri launcher edits and tauri-related npm scripts; added new launch:tauri usage replaced by hc-spin-based commands; updated kangaroo Electron config example bootstrap URLs; prepended RUSTFLAGS to build:zomes; bumped hc-spin devDependency from ^0.500.1 to ^0.600.0.

Estimated code review effort

🎯 3 (Moderate) | ⏱️ ~25 minutes

• Heterogeneous edits across docs, examples, JSON scripts, and build config increase review surface.
• Pay extra attention to:
  • Consistency of hc-spin command syntax and package-manager notes across files.
  • Correctness and shell-escaping of the added RUSTFLAGS in build:zomes.
  • Removal of tauri-related scripts to ensure examples remain runnable and no leftover references remain.
  • Network option examples (bootstrap/signaling/network-seed) for clarity and correctness.

Learning: hc-launch may show older Holochain version dependencies (like "holochain 0.5.3") even when other tools show newer versions (like 0.5.5) because hc-launch is only repackaged when necessary for compatibility, not automatically with every Holochain release.

Learning: pdaoust prefers to ignore the MD047 rule (files should end with a single newline character) in the holochain/docs-pages repository because it's not applicable to the admonition plugin they're using.

132-146: Clear and accurate update to SUID sandbox error guidance.

The expanded explanation properly clarifies that hc-spin (or the npm scripts that invoke it) triggers the AppArmor security issue in Ubuntu 24.04+. The change from "@holochain/hc-spin" to "hc-spin" improves clarity, and narrowing scope to "hApp projects" is more precise.

I think that's not really correct that hc-spin is part of Holonix. It's an npm package that gets scaffolded into the package.json.
