# 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 <20> 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**. The renderer never sees the token and never talks to the site directly, so TTP<54>s same-origin CORS policy does not apply.
| Action | Endpoint | Notes |
|--------|----------|-------|
| Password sign-in | `POST /api/login` | `username` + `password`, `application/x-www-form-urlencoded`. Same limiter as browser login. No CSRF, no Turnstile. |
| Confirm identity | `GET /api/users/find/{username}` | Bearer token. Returns a user id only. |
| Existing token | Admin ? Tokens | Personal or app token. Username is optional and only used for that find call. |
The token is stored under Electron `userData` (`session.json`). `safeStorage` encrypts it when the OS keychain is available.
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, TTP-styled chrome, search / notifications / messages / profile |
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 are placeholders until the API step.
## 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`
