DevStack Tauri Implementation Plan

Overview

Rebuilding the functionality of Laragon into a modern, lightweight, and blazing-fast background application using the Tauri v2 framework.

Frontend: React + TypeScript + Tailwind CSS + Zustand (State Management) + React Query
Backend (Core): Tauri (Rust payload) + tauri-plugin-shell (managing Nginx/PHP/MySQL processes) + tauri-plugin-fs (config generation)
Services: Sidecar binaries downloaded in the background upon setup

Elevated Privileges (Vhosts Editor): App runs normally without Administrator rights. It will only invoke a prompt for UAC when modifying C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts (e.g., when the user creates a new site).
Process Lifecycle: When the user closes the main UI (clicks [X]), the application minimizes into the System Tray instead of terminating. The background services (Nginx, PHP, MySQL) continue to run. They will only be killed if the user explicitly chooses "Quit" from the tray menu.
Binaries & Storage: The core app will be as lightweight as possible. It will check if Nginx, PHP, MySQL exist in a predefined ~/.devstack/bin (or AppData) directory. If not present, the app will download zip files according to the version chosen by the user and extract them transparently. It will then optionally inject their paths into the terminal Environments via background scripts.

Scaffold React + Tauri V2 App
Install Core Frontend Dependencies (Tailwind, Zustand, React Query)
Configure src-tauri (tray icon, plugins, system setup)
Implement UI from provided index.html as React components with Tailwind
Implement Rust backend commands (downloading binaries, extracting, starting/stopping Command processes)
Connect Frontend Zustand store to Rust backend status
