- Frontend: React + TanStack (Router, Store, Query) in a Tauri v2 webview

- Config:
~/.config/black-atom/livery/config.json— per-app settings with configurable match/replace patterns
Active development. See the livery project for progress.
Run the desktop app with:
deno task devFor browser-based visual editing with Airship:
deno task airshipThis starts the Tauri app, Vite, and Airship together. Debug builds expose the Rust command bridge on loopback so Airship frames can use the real configuration and settings.

| Runtime | Deno | Dev server, formatting, linting, testing |
| App shell | Tauri v2 | Rust + system webview |
| Frontend | React 18 | Automatic JSX transform |

Livery writes logs to the platform log directory:
| Platform | Path |
|---|---|
| macOS | ~/Library/Logs/industries.black-atom.livery/livery.log |
| Linux | ~/.local/share/industries.black-atom.livery/logs/livery.log |
Logs rotate automatically at 5 MB. Previous log files are kept alongside the current one.
Livery is the paint scheme of an aircraft — its visual identity.
