# Install dependencies
npm install
# Start the development server
npm run devThe application will be available at http://localhost:3000
npm run build
npm startnpm testCI runs lint, tests, and production build on Node 20 and 22 (see .github/workflows/ci.yml).
npm run build:desktopThis creates a Windows portable executable in the release/ folder, similar to a desktop app shell.
