…dmarzzz#92) Resolves the dmarzzz#92 spike with a decision record in docs/decisions/: compares Electron vs Tauri vs native vs browser-only on footprint, UI reuse, engine integration, and update story, and records the decision — a browser-first PWA with a Tauri desktop shell + Android plugin (NOT Electron), since the engine is Python and the app is a thin control surface over it. Backed by the working spike in PR dmarzzz#175 (web GUI + Tauri shell + Android plugin), not just on paper.
…001-easy-launch) Ron's open dmarzzz#102 already claims docs/decisions/0001-easy-launch.md; take 0002 so both can land without a duplicate ADR number.

Resolves the #92 spike: a decision doc in
docs/decisions/comparing Electron vs Tauri vs native vs browser-only (footprint, UI reuse, engine integration, mic permissions, update story) with an explicit decision + rationale.Decision: no to Electron — go browser-first (PWA) with a Tauri shell (+ an Android plugin), since the engine is Python and the app is a thin control surface over it, so one web UI serves browser/desktop/mobile and the bundle is a few MB instead of a bundled Chromium.
This is backed by a working spike, not just paper: PR #175 implements exactly this (web GUI — 523 passing tests (4 skipped) + headless-Chrome e2e; Tauri desktop shell verified via
cargo tauri dev; Android on-device plugin built to a green APK). The ADR is marked Proposed — happy to amend the call/rationale however you want.Relates to #92 — proposes a resolution for the maintainer to ratify/amend rather than auto-closing it (Ron's #102 covers the complementary easy-launch angle).
