TaskBoardTab: $effect called loadTasks() which wrote ++pollToken ($state) → triggered $effect re-run → infinite loop. Fix: onMount instead. Also tasksByCol $derived created new objects via .reduce/.filter. FileBrowser: $effect read openDirs (via new Set(openDirs)) AND wrote to it (openDirs = s) → infinite loop. Fix: onMount with fresh Set. CommsTab: $effect called loadChannels()/loadAgents() which wrote $state → potential cycle. Fix: onMount instead. Rule: NEVER use $effect for initialization that writes to $state. Always use onMount for async init + side effects. |

Svelte Electrobun Template
A fast Electrobun desktop app template with Svelte 5 and Vite for hot module replacement (HMR).
Getting Started
# Install dependencies
bun install
# Development without HMR (uses bundled assets)
bun run dev
# Development with HMR (recommended)
bun run dev:hmr
# Build for production
bun run build
# Build for production release
bun run build:prod
How HMR Works
When you run bun run dev:hmr:
- Vite dev server starts on
http://localhost:5173with HMR enabled - Electrobun starts and detects the running Vite server
- The app loads from the Vite dev server instead of bundled assets
- Changes to Svelte components update instantly without full page reload
When you run bun run dev (without HMR):
- Electrobun starts and loads from
views://mainview/index.html - You need to rebuild (
bun run build) to see changes
