Description

Replace the current manual install flow with a first-run setup gate:

  • bootstrap the default config dir/config file automatically
  • detect legacy installs and mark them complete when config + Yomitan dictionaries are already present
  • open a compact Catppuccin Macchiato setup popup for incomplete installs
  • optionally install the mpv plugin into the default mpv location
  • block launcher playback until setup completes, then resume the original playback flow

Acceptance Criteria

  • #1 First app launch seeds the default config dir/config file without manual copy steps.
  • #2 Existing installs with config plus at least one Yomitan dictionary are auto-detected as already complete.
  • #3 Incomplete installs get a first-run setup popup with mpv plugin install, Yomitan settings, refresh, skip, and finish actions.
  • #4 Launcher playback waits for setup completion and does not start mpv while setup is incomplete.
  • #5 Plugin assets are packaged into the Electron bundle and regression tests cover the new flow.

Implementation Notes

Added shared setup-state/config/mpv path helpers so Electron and launcher read the same onboarding state file.

Introduced a first-run setup service plus compact BrowserWindow popup using Catppuccin Macchiato styling. The popup supports optional mpv plugin install, opening Yomitan settings, status refresh, skip-plugin, and gated finish once at least one Yomitan dictionary is installed.

Electron startup now bootstraps a default config file, auto-detects legacy-complete installs, adds --setup CLI support, exposes a tray Complete Setup action while incomplete, and avoids reopening setup once completion is recorded.

Launcher playback now checks the shared setup-state file before starting mpv. If setup is incomplete, it launches the app with --background --setup, waits for completion, and only then proceeds.

Verification:

  • bun run typecheck
  • bun run test:fast

Final Summary

SubMiner now supports a download-and-launch install flow.

  • First launch auto-creates config and opens setup only when needed.
  • Existing users with working installs are silently migrated to completed setup.
  • The setup popup handles optional mpv plugin install and Yomitan dictionary readiness.
  • Launcher playback is gated on setup completion and resumes automatically afterward.
