- Disabled asar packaging due to silent failure in electron-packager
- Added generateAssets hook to download IPFS/Kubo binaries before packaging
- Added ignore patterns for kubo symlinks and .bin directories that cause build failures
- Simplified CI workflow with proper pipefail handling
- Removed legacy electron-builder config from package.json
- Added glob and progress dependencies needed for hooks
The asar creation was silently failing due to issues with symlinks in node_modules.
With asar disabled, the app bundle is larger but packaging completes successfully.
Migrated build system from electron-builder to Electron Forge with new configuration in forge.config.js. Replaced manual IPFS binary downloads with kubo npm package, updating start-ipfs.js to resolve binaries from node_modules. Simplified CI workflows to use new build scripts and verification helpers. Added scripts to find and verify executables in Forge output directory.
