Research direction

Review the desktop repository contents, including install.sh, install.ps1, the release artifacts, and the existing documentation. Determine whether the frontend source is intentionally excluded and whether the project states a licensing, security, commercial, or roadmap position. Done means documenting or confirming the project’s answer; the issue does not define a code change.

Description

Question

The desktop repo currently only contains install scripts (install.sh, install.ps1), release artifacts, and docs — I couldn't find the actual frontend source code of the desktop app.

Is there a reason the frontend code isn't open source? Is open-sourcing it on the roadmap, or is it intentionally kept closed (e.g. licensing, security, commercial reasons)?

Thanks for clarifying!
