bootstrap -VerifyOnly
Validates the vendored lock and the offline build baseline.
Build & download
Offline, locked, reproducible.
OwlCommander builds with Rust 1.98.0 against a pre-fetched vendored dependency set. Normal work always uses offline, locked builds; versions and commits are recorded in UPSTREAM_LOCK.json.
Requirements
Windows x64 · Rust 1.98.0
| Toolchain | rustup toolchain install 1.98.0 |
| Dependencies | pre-fetched .cargo/vendor (offline) |
| Build dir | vendor/gpui-component/examples/dock |
| Artifact | target/debug/OwlCommander.exe |
Build commands
Three commands
.\scripts\bootstrap.ps1 -VerifyOnly cargo +1.98.0 build --locked --offline ` --manifest-path vendor\gpui-component\Cargo.toml ` -p example-dock
The binary lands at vendor\gpui-component\target\debug\OwlCommander.exe.
Data layout
Always portable: data travels with the folder.
On first run the exe creates a Data/ folder beside itself and keeps every setting, session and cache there — nothing is written to %APPDATA%. A config folder left behind by an older version under %APPDATA%\OwlCommander\ is moved into Data/ automatically.

app-settings.json appearance / menus / places tree / fonts
session.json tabs, pane layouts and per-pane paths
runtime\search-tools\
fd / rg extracted on first search
Search tools: fd / rg are embedded in the exe and extracted to the runtime directory on first search — no manual tools\ needed.
Update check: Settings → About → Check for updates. For the local mock, run scripts\serve-update-mock.ps1 first, then set OWL_UPDATE_API_URL.
Cleanup: delete the whole folder to wipe config; do not delete only the exe.
Commit gates
All green before every commit.
One commit is one coherent, buildable change — no mixing product behavior, upstream refreshes, generated artifacts or unrelated formatting.
cargo test
+1.98.0 test --locked --offline, focused on behavior and failure paths.
cargo clippy
--locked --offline -- -D warnings.
git diff --check
No whitespace errors, then inspect the staged diff.
Commit messages: imperative Conventional Commits, e.g.
feat(poc): add STA COM broker lifecycle probe or docs: record delete capability decision.
