What problem does it solve?
Expert Rust development for the Focus Shield daemon/sidecar to manage hosts, monitor processes, and enable IPC and service integration across OSes.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Daemon & hosts manager: Handles secure hosts file updates, backups, and selective rollback.
- IPC & cross-platform daemon: Enables communication between the Tauri frontend and the daemon via named pipes (Windows) or Unix sockets (POSIX).
- Process monitoring & privilege elevation: Enumerates processes, suspends or terminates non-critical tasks, and elevates privileges when necessary.
- Service installation & watchdog: Installs the daemon as a persistent OS service and provides watchdog rollback on crash.
- Rust best-practices: Enforces idiomatic Rust, error handling with thiserror, and platform abstractions.
Quick Start
Implement the daemon module and wire it into apps/desktop/src-tauri/ to enable the Focus Shield sidecar workflow.
