# Capsule
Desktop companion for [The Tempus Project](https://TheTempusProject.com). Point it at a TTP site, sign in with a username and password or paste an API token, and work against that install from the desktop.
This replaces the old `TempusToolkit` Electron stub. The keepers were the login ? stored-token ? home flow. Hardcoded LAN URLs, `nodeIntegration`, and the leftover WoW-folder picker did not come along.
## Run it
From this folder (Windows source checkout is fine ? Capsule is Node, not PHP):
```bash
npm install
npm run dev
```
`npm start` previews a production build. There is no local TTP site on the Windows checkout. Login needs a reachable install (typically the Ubuntu host) with `api/apiAccessPersonal` on for user-token calls.
## How auth works
All HTTP runs in the **main process** (`net.fetch`, so the PHP session cookie sticks). The renderer never sees the token and never talks to the site directly, so TTP's same-origin CORS policy does not apply. POSTs send `X-CSRF-Token` (and POST `token`) after a GET harvests `csrf`.
| Action | Endpoint | Notes |
|--------|----------|-------|
| Password sign-in | `POST /api/login` | `username` + `password`, `application/x-www-form-urlencoded`. Same limiter as browser login. CSRF from `GET /api/login`. No Turnstile. MFA accounts return `{ mfa }` instead of a token. |
| MFA code / method | `POST /api/login/mfa/{loginCode}` | `auth_code` or `mfaMethodSelect`. `loginCode` stays in the main process. |
| MFA reset | `POST /api/login/mfa/{loginCode}/reset` | Clears the chosen method so the picker shows again. |
| Confirm identity | `GET /api/profile` | Bearer user token. Also used to hydrate username after login. `GET /api/users/find/{username}` remains available. |
| Workspace | `GET /api/notifications`, `GET /api/messages`, `GET /api/messages/recent` | First inbox page plus the header dropdown after connect. Plugin-off responses show as unavailable. |
| Search | `GET /api/search` | Header search. `q`, `resource`, `page`. |
| Profile save | `POST /api/profile/update` | Avatar and prefs. |
| Mail / notices | `POST /api/messages/?`, `POST /api/notifications/?` | View, reply, create, read, unread, delete. |
| Contact / bugs | `POST /api/contact`, `POST /api/bugreport` | Footer pages when those plugins are enabled. |
| Existing token | Admin ? Tokens | Personal or app token. A user token hydrates the workspace; an app token can connect but cannot call the user API. |
The token is stored under Electron `userData` (`session.json`). `safeStorage` encrypts it when the OS keychain is available. MFA `loginCode` is not stored.
App-facing pairing notes live with the PHP app: `repos/ttp/docs/capsule.md`.
## Layout
| Path | Job |
|------|-----|
| `src/main/` | Window, session file, TTP HTTP, IPC |
| `src/preload/` | `window.capsule` bridge |
| `src/renderer/` | Login, MFA, TTP-styled chrome, and live API views |
The logged-in header follows the public TTP shell (`text-bg-dark`, FA 6.7.1, Bootstrap 5.3). Search stays visible and centered. Account is a top-right dropdown like the site. Notifications and messages are the same bell / envelope menus. Profile edit covers User CP preferences except email, password, and phone ? those open `{site}/usercp/?`. Lists load from the site API after sign-in. The footer matches TTP copyright and social icons. Above that: dark-mode toggle, Privacy Policy, Terms of Service, Contact, and Report a Bug. No subscribe box. Privacy and terms open the connected site; contact and bug reports stay in-app.
## Remote
This checkout starts with no git remote. When the repo exists on the project host:
`ssh://git@git.thetempusproject.com:2222/the-tempus-project/capsule.git`
