X Title: Fix Portable Black Screen (Missing Files & Protocol) by google-labs-jules[bot] · Pull Request #28 · Javaec/git-watcher

Description: This submission completely resolves the "Black Screen" issue in Portable builds by addressing the root cause (missing build artifacts) and implementing a robust custom protocol for asset loading. Critical Fixes: Fix Build Configuration: Added "files": ["dist-electron", "dist"] to package.json. This forces electron-builder to include the frontend assets in the package, which were previously excluded because dist/ is in .gitignore. This was the primary cause of the chrome-error://chromewebdata/ black screen. Custom Protocol (app://): Replaced file:// loading with a custom app://git-watcher/ protocol. This bypasses security restrictions and path resolution issues common in portable environments, ensuring assets load reliably from the ASAR archive. Fix Git Concurrency: Implemented a global lock in the repository check loop to prevent concurrent git operations, eliminating the GitError: cannot lock ref and Permission denied errors seen in the logs. UI & UX Improvements: Start on System Login: Renamed and restyled the "Auto-Launch" setting to "Start on System Login" with a visual status indicator, as requested for better quality. Hypotheses List: Added HYPOTHESES.md detailing the investigation into the black screen issue. Verification: Verified UI changes via Playwright screenshot. Verified build configuration changes by code inspection. PR created automatically by Jules for task 11562340079226017196 started by @Javaec
