The finish-page launch action started the app and also opened
http://localhost:8080/ itself, but the app already auto-opens the
browser on a manual (non-autostart) launch, so the page appeared
twice. Drop the installer's redundant open and let the app handle it
(it waits on /health, which is more reliable than a fixed sleep).
When the user enables "Start with Windows" in the installer, the app
launches on every PC login. Previously each login popped a fresh WebUI
tab, which is noisy for a tray-resident background service.
The autostart shortcut now passes --autostart to start-hidden.vbs, which
sets LEDGRAB_AUTOSTART=1 in the child env. __main__ checks this flag
alongside LEDGRAB_RESTART when deciding whether to open the browser.
Manual launches (desktop/start-menu shortcuts) and the installer's
post-install "Launch LedGrab" finish-page action are unchanged — they
don't pass the arg, so they still open the WebUI tab.
Windows installer silently failed to launch because build-dist-windows.sh
maintained its own DEPS list that drifted from server/pyproject.toml and
was missing `cryptography` — ledgrab.utils.secret_box imports AESGCM at
module load, so pythonw.exe crashed before the tray icon appeared. Also
missing: just-playback (lazy import, silent until a sound triggers).
- Add cryptography + just-playback to DEPS with a sync-with-pyproject
warning comment
- Extend the post-cleanup on-disk check to abort the build if
cryptography / cffi / just_playback go missing again
- Launcher now exports TCL_LIBRARY / TK_LIBRARY so the screen-overlay
tkinter thread stops logging "Can't find init.tcl" at startup
- Installer wipes stale debug.bat / debug.log on install and uninstall
(leftovers from the pre-rename wled_controller era produced a
misleading ModuleNotFoundError when users tried to diagnose launch
failures)
Declutters the repo root by consolidating build-common.sh,
build-dist.sh, build-dist-windows.sh, build-dist.ps1, and installer.nsi
into build/. Updates all path references in CI workflows, NSIS installer,
and documentation.
