ui.shell_warm¶

Small Electron main-process helpers for loading a lightweight data: placeholder into the pill BrowserWindow while the FastAPI sidecar starts, so renderer startup overlaps PyInstaller cold-start without eagerly creating label/panel popup windows.

Source¶

electron/shell_warm.ts

API¶

• shellLoadingDataUrl() — returns a data:text/html;charset=utf-8,… URL with a minimal “Loading…” page.
• warmPillWindow(pill) — loadURL that placeholder into the given pill window only.

Integration¶

• Used by electron/main.ts during startup, in parallel with waitForShell.
• Startup UX for the full shell is documented in electron_shell.

Tests¶

electron/shell_warm.test.js (run make electron-test).
