ArcRift Desktop App (v1.6.0)

This release marks ArcRift's transition from a CLI-based tool to a fully native, highly-optimized desktop application, alongside a brand new Local Codebase Indexing feature.

Major Features

• Native Tauri Desktop App: ArcRift now runs as a lightweight native desktop application that lives quietly in your system tray. The backend operates seamlessly as a hidden Rust sidecar process.
• Direct Codebase Indexing: You can now point ArcRift directly at any local folder. It will scan, chunk, embed, and ingest your entire codebase into its Knowledge Graph instantly, allowing you to query massive projects effortlessly.
• Esbuild Backend Engine: The backend compiler was completely swapped from TypeScript to Esbuild, bringing start times down from over 60 seconds to ~0.1 seconds.
• GitHub Actions Auto-Releases: Full CI/CD pipeline integrated to automatically cross-compile .exe, .dmg, and .AppImage installers on every release.

Installation (For Users)

Download the appropriate installer for your Operating System from the assets below:

• Windows: ArcRift.Dashboard_x64-setup.exe
