How to Run & Build Arc Desktop Locally

Tauri v2 + Next.js
1. Run desktop development mode (with live reload):
npm run desktop:dev
2. Compile standalone native executable (.exe, .msi, .dmg, .AppImage):
npm run desktop:build
3. Automated GitHub Actions CI workflow:

A pre-configured GitHub Actions workflow has been created at .github/workflows/build-desktop.yml. Whenever you create a tag or push to main in your GitHub repository, it automatically builds installers for Windows, macOS, and Linux and publishes them to your GitHub Releases.
