The release-profile build added to the gate in 9757f90 would have
recompiled the workspace for minutes on every push (and looked for a
binary name plain cargo does not produce). The operator asked for what
already exists: `tauri build --debug --no-bundle` reuses everything
`cargo test` compiled (21 s locally), embeds the webview the gate built
rather than pointing at a dev server, and the binary is stripped of
debug info, 93 MB instead of 498. Checked: the stripped binary, run on
its own with no dev server, serves its page from tauri://localhost.

blackbeard wallet
A desktop wallet for post-quantum chains, Quantus first.
Linux, Windows and macOS; installable on Fedora with dnf.
Shape
The wallet is a Rust cargo workspace with a Tauri shell and a React webview. That split is the security model, not a convenience: every key, signature, decoded transaction and amount lives on the Rust side, and the webview only renders what a Tauri command hands it. Nothing that could serialise a secret is reachable from JavaScript.
crates/
wallet-entities/ domain types and the IPC wire protocol; exported to TypeScript
wallet-core/ wallet logic and the ports it is written against
wallet-data/ adapters behind those ports: keystore, cache, RPC, provider APIs
wallet-app/ the Tauri binary; commands are one-line shims into core
ui/ Vite + React + TypeScript webview
The ports in wallet-core are what make "any post-quantum chain" a profile
rather than a rewrite:
KeySchemeturns a seed and a path into a signer. ML-DSA-65 and ML-DSA-87 now; whatever the next chain uses later.ChainAdapterknows one chain: balances, building and submitting a transaction, watching it. The Substrate adapter is driven by runtime metadata plus a small per-chain profile (ss58 prefix, decimals, signature enum, transaction extensions, signing-context rule, coin type).SwapProvideris a swap venue. NEAR Intents first.NearRpcis NEAR, the chain under the wallet's intents account, routed to a node that tracks the shard of the account each call is about.FiatRampbuilds a provider session through a relay on our infrastructure, which holds the provider secrets, and opens it in the system browser.
The wallet is post-quantum only. Classical chains appear only as transit
legs of a swap or ramp; the wallet never derives a secp256k1 or ed25519 key.
That includes NEAR: the intents account is a NEAR account whose only key is
ML-DSA-65 (NEP-645), derived from the wallet's phrase as NEP-649 specifies.
NEAR verifies it under the empty FIPS 204 context, where Quantus requires
QUANTUS_EXTRINSIC.
Why these choices
Quantus signs extrinsics with ML-DSA, hashes public keys with Poseidon2 for
the account id, and shields mining rewards behind a Plonky2 wormhole whose
prover is minutes of native CPU. All of that exists as Rust crates and nothing
else, so the core is Rust. Tauri is the house desktop convention
(~/git/architecture/generic.md §4) and the only shell that packages rpm, deb,
msi and dmg with a Rust-owned IPC boundary out of the box.
QTC reaches NEAR as qtc.omft.near through a bridge with a deposit address
per account, and its liquidity is in Ref pools rather than with 1Click's
solvers. So swaps run through an intents account the wallet holds (#71),
using only calls intents.near authorises by the calling account. Its
signed intents (execute_intents) accept classical signatures only, and the
wallet never makes one. #72 ran the whole route that way on mainnet.
Building
pnpm --dir ui install
cargo tauri dev --config crates/wallet-app/tauri.conf.json # from crates/wallet-app: cargo tauri dev
cargo test --workspace # also regenerates ui/src/api/generated
The CI gate is cargo fmt --check, cargo clippy -D warnings, cargo test,
and the webview's typecheck, lint and build. Run them before claiming done.
A green gate on main also uploads a debug build of the app as a run artifact
(blackbeard-wallet-<sha>-x86_64-linux-gnu-debug, kept seven days), so a
change can be tried on a machine before a release is cut. It is the dev
profile, so slower than a release, and it needs the GTK/WebKitGTK libraries
the rpm depends on.
Work
Work is filed before it is done. Epics carry the epic label and an external
definition of done; their steps carry child, in dependency order, at
https://git.lair.cafe/blackbeard/wallet/issues. A commit that finishes a
child closes it (Closes #N); when an investigation contradicts an issue, the
correction is a comment on the issue, dated, not a surprise in a diff.
