 ### Fixed
 
+- Runtime command capture now enforces bounded output buffers for shell/start/build flows, preventing long install/build logs from growing unbounded in memory and reducing browser freezes during heavy runs.
+- Terminal stream piping now safely swallows expected shutdown errors during process recycling, reducing unhandled stream rejection noise that previously appeared during rapid runtime resets.
+- WebContainer heartbeat checks now prevent overlapping probes, reducing race conditions that could trigger duplicate recovery attempts under heavy filesystem load.
+- Chat bootstrap model-fetch and secure API key hydration now cancel cleanly on unmount, eliminating stale async state updates during rapid navigation and provider switches.
 - Hidden continuation prompts now wait until the active chat stream has actually settled before dispatching, which prevents overlapping chat requests from racing each other and reduces disconnect/reconnect loops during long runs.
 - Hosted FREE preview verification no longer auto-restores an older starter snapshot just because the browser briefly reported the fallback placeholder while the generated app files were already synced; starter-placeholder reporting is now ignored once the active workspace no longer contains the starter text.
 - Generated app entry-file writes now resolve onto the active starter source file when the model picks a sibling JS/TS extension (`App.js` vs `App.tsx`, `main.jsx` vs `main.tsx`, etc.), which stops hosted Vite projects from leaving the real app in an inactive file while preview keeps showing the fallback starter.

 Recent hardening in this line includes safer hidden continuation dispatch: follow-up recovery prompts now wait until the active chat stream is genuinely idle before they are sent, which reduces mid-run disconnect/reconnect loops on longer builds.
 Another recent runtime fix now synthesizes preview handoff commands from the merged workspace state instead of the latest assistant delta only, which prevents broken follow-up runs from replaying dependency-only installs and stalling preview startup.
+Runtime stabilization now also enforces bounded shell/build output capture and guarded heartbeat probing, reducing memory pressure and duplicate recovery races during long-running installs/builds.
 Release verification now also includes a browser-level post-deploy asset health check so stale manifests and missing client bundles fail the release instead of leaving users on a non-interactive shell.

 - Runtime command capture now enforces bounded output buffers for shell/start/build flows, preventing long install/build logs from growing unbounded in memory and reducing browser freezes during heavy runs.
 - Terminal stream piping now safely swallows expected shutdown errors during process recycling, reducing unhandled stream rejection noise that previously appeared during rapid runtime resets.
+- Shell write guards now also evaluate normalized/rewritten commands (including JSON command envelopes), closing a bypass path where blocked redirections could slip through after command rewrites.
+- Shell write blocking now distinguishes harmless sink redirections (`/dev/null`) from real file writes, preserving portable runtime file checks without weakening mutation safeguards.
+- Artifact file writes now reject any path resolving outside the active workspace root, hardening runtime file actions against path traversal attempts.
 - WebContainer heartbeat checks now prevent overlapping probes, reducing race conditions that could trigger duplicate recovery attempts under heavy filesystem load.
 - Chat bootstrap model-fetch and secure API key hydration now cancel cleanly on unmount, eliminating stale async state updates during rapid navigation and provider switches.
 - Hidden continuation prompts now wait until the active chat stream has actually settled before dispatching, which prevents overlapping chat requests from racing each other and reduces disconnect/reconnect loops during long runs.

-# Multi-Framework Support for bolt.gives
+# Desktop Framework Support for bolt.gives
 
-This document describes how to build bolt.gives as a desktop application using different frameworks.
+bolt.gives ships as a web app and as two desktop wrappers:
 
-## Supported Frameworks
+1. **Electron** (default) — broad-compatibility desktop app with auto-update and crash recovery.
+2. **Tauri** (opt-in) — Rust-native lightweight desktop app with tight CSP and a signed updater.
 
-1. **Electron** (default) - Classic desktop app framework
-2. **Tauri** - Rust-based lightweight desktop app framework
-3. **Neutralino.js** - Ultra-lightweight desktop app framework
+> **Neutralino was removed.** The third wrapper caused build drift, duplicated window/menu/cookie code, and an unpatched update path. Electron remains the default; Tauri is the high-security / small-footprint option.
 
-## Environment Variables
+## Environment flags
 
-You can control which framework(s) to build using environment variables:
+| Flag               | Default | Effect                                                |
+| ------------------ | ------- | ----------------------------------------------------- |
+| `ENABLE_ELECTRON`  | `true`  | Set `false` to skip Electron in multi-target scripts. |
+| `ENABLE_TAURI`     | `false` | Set `true` to include Tauri in multi-target scripts.  |
 
-```bash
-# Enable specific frameworks (default: electron is enabled by default)
-ENABLE_ELECTRON=true pnpm electron:build:dist
-ENABLE_TAURI=true pnpm tauri:build
-ENABLE_NEUTRALINO=true pnpm neutralino:build
+Accepted values: `1 / true / yes / on` and `0 / false / no / off` (case-insensitive).
 
-# Disable a framework (e.g., disable Electron to only build Tauri)
-ENABLE_ELECTRON=false ENABLE_TAURI=true pnpm tauri:build
-```
+## Build commands
 
-## Build Commands
+### Electron
 
-### Electron (Default)
 ```bash
-# Development
+# Dev
 pnpm electron:dev
 
-# Build for distribution
-pnpm electron:build:dist
+# Platform-specific release bundles
+pnpm electron:build:mac
+pnpm electron:build:win
+pnpm electron:build:linux
 
-# Platform-specific builds
-pnpm electron:build:mac    # macOS DMG
-pnpm electron:build:win    # Windows NSIS
-pnpm electron:build:linux  # Linux AppImage/DEB
+# All three (CI-only; produces .dmg / .exe / .AppImage / .deb / .rpm)
+pnpm electron:build:dist
 ```
 
+Outputs land in `./dist/`.
+
 ### Tauri
+
+Prerequisites: [Rust toolchain](https://tauri.app/start/prerequisites/) (`cargo`, `rustc`) and the Tauri CLI (`pnpm dlx @tauri-apps/cli@latest`).
+
 ```bash
-# Development (requires Rust and Tauri CLI)
+# Dev
 pnpm tauri:dev
 
-# Build for distribution
+# Release bundle
 pnpm tauri:build
 ```
 
-### Neutralino.js
-```bash
-# Development
-pnpm neutralino:dev
+Outputs land in `./src-tauri/target/release/bundle/`.
 
-# Build for distribution
-pnpm neutralino:build

-### Tauri Requirements
-- Rust toolchain
-- Node.js and pnpm
-- System dependencies (see [Tauri Prerequisites](https://tauri.app/v1/guides/getting-started/prerequisites))
+See the updater setup checklist in `docs/DESKTOP_UPDATER.md` (generated in Phase 5) for how to rotate keys.
 
-Install Rust:
-```bash
-curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh
-```
+## Release artifacts
 
-### Neutralino.js Requirements
-- Node.js and pnpm
-- Neutralino CLI (optional, can use prebuilt binaries)
+GitHub Actions build both frameworks on tag push (`v*`):
 
-## Directory Structure
+- `.github/workflows/electron.yml` → `dist/*.{dmg,exe,AppImage,deb,zip}`
+- `.github/workflows/tauri.yml`    → `src-tauri/target/release/bundle/**/*`
 
-```
-/home/engine/project/
-├── src-tauri/              # Tauri configuration and Rust source
-│   ├── src/
-│   ├── icons/
-│   └── capabilities/
-├── neutralino/             # Neutralino configuration
-└── electron/               # Electron configuration (existing)
-```
+Both workflows publish to the same GitHub Release.
 
 ## Troubleshooting
 
-### Tauri Build Issues
-- Ensure Rust is properly installed and up to date
-- Check that all system dependencies are installed
-- Run `rustup update` to update Rust toolchain
-
-### Neutralino Build Issues
-- Ensure you have permission to create the output directory
-- Check that the build/client directory exists
-
-### Electron Build Issues
-- Clear node_modules and reinstall: `rm -rf node_modules && pnpm install`
-- Check that all platform-specific dependencies are installed

+- **Tauri build fails with "failed to find tauri-cli"** — run `pnpm dlx @tauri-apps/cli@latest` or install globally: `cargo install tauri-cli --version '^2.0'`.
+- **Electron updater silently does nothing** — that's intentional: builds without a valid `electron-update.yml` pubkey refuse to apply updates (fail-closed). See Phase 5 updater docs.
+- **macOS "app is damaged" after download** — unsigned dev build; ship through GitHub Releases for `electron-builder` / Tauri to add notarization metadata.

+ *   4. Navigation + window-open guards live in the BrowserWindow factory

+ * so a missing / malformed update manifest would fail open (accept unsigned
+ * bits). This rewrite:
+ *
+ *   1. Requires a non-empty `publish` entry in the update config (either
+ *      `electron-update.yml` or the one bundled by electron-builder). If we
+ *      can't find one, we *disable* auto-update rather than accept anything.
+ *   2. Exposes a real error handler that logs + surfaces a dialog so users
+ *      know an update failed instead of silently falling behind.
+ *   3. Uses a bounded-retry policy for the periodic check so a flaky CDN
+ *      doesn't hammer CPU with unbounded fetches.
+ *   4. `autoInstallOnAppQuit` is kept true so pending updates apply on the
+ *      next clean restart (matches user expectation for quality-of-life).
+ *
+ * See docs/DESKTOP_UPDATER.md (phase-5) for how to configure the publish
+ * channel + GPG/code-sign certs.
