The manifest pointed at icon.svg and nothing else. Chrome and Firefox install happily on that; Safari does not read the manifest's icons at all and looks for /apple-touch-icon.png by name, so an installed PWA on iOS got a screenshot of the page as its home-screen icon. This was written down as blocked: there is no SVG renderer on this machine, which is why the references were removed rather than left pointing at files that did not exist. Playwright is an SVG renderer, and it has been a dependency the whole time. scripts/generate-icons.js renders the same SVG at 192, 512 and 180. A script rather than a test, so CI never runs it and never rewrites a tracked binary — run it when the icon changes. The smoke test already fetches every icon the manifest names, and now asks for the Apple one by name too, so a reference with no file behind it fails there rather than on somebody's phone.

The SvelteKit PWA. Not written yet — this directory holds its place so the Docker build has something to copy, and so the frontend stage can tell "not built yet" apart from "the build failed".
The Dockerfile builds this directory when it finds a package.json here, and
otherwise emits a placeholder page. So adding the real app is exactly: put a
SvelteKit project in this directory whose npm run build produces build/.
What it needs to be
- SvelteKit,
adapter-static, output inbuild/. The Go binary embeds that directory at compile time and serves it, falling back toindex.htmlso client-side routes survive a reload. - A PWA: installable, offline reading of already-cached lists, swipe gestures for complete and schedule.
- Nordic minimalism. Dark by default, light available. One accent colour, everything else neutral. Runic mark for Verdande.
- Optimistic on every local action. No spinner ever appears for something the browser could already know the answer to.
Talking to the backend
Same origin — the Go binary serves both. /api/v1 for REST, /api/v1/ws for the
live sync. Session cookie is httpOnly, so the frontend never handles the token
itself.
During development, run the backend on 8080 and point the Vite dev server's proxy at it:
VERDANDE_DATA_DIR=./data VERDANDE_DEV=true go run ./cmd/verdande
