Adds a minimal Electron shell that runs big-AGI as a macOS menu bar app: - Spawns the Next.js standalone server on a random port - Shows a tray icon in the macOS menu bar with show/quit controls - Opens a frameless BrowserWindow (reuses existing WebkitAppRegion drag CSS) - Exposes desktopCapturer via preload for silent screenshot capture (no picker) - Adds Is.Electron detection to pwaUtils.ts - Only 2 existing files modified; all new code lives in electron/ Closes enricoros#338 Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Someone is attempting to deploy a commit to the Token Fabrics Pro Team on Vercel. A member of the Team first needs to authorize it. |
- Add 38px fixed dark gray title bar for macOS traffic light buttons - Adjust PageCore height to calc(100dvh - 38px) to prevent content overflow - Add postinstall script to patch Electron.app plist (name + icon) - Remove dock icon toggling (pure menu bar app) - Set app name and userData path to "big-AGI" Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

@claude I've been outsmarted by this PR! How can I get back on track? JK, please implement all that's missing - i.e. I'd love a CI pipeline or at least the multi-platform builds for MacOS Arm and Win 64 |

Claude Code is working… I'll analyze this and get back to you. |

@claude Since the jobs are failing when you try to fetch feat/electron-menubar, can you access the code on https://github.com/arbiterFF/big-AGI/tree/feat/electron-menubar, or 6f6f365 ? |

The plumbing is already in place with the preload API.
