boos e0a5f57793 feat(desktop): embed BoosAPI Desktop client as a subproject

Vendor the rebranded BoosAPI Desktop client (Tauri + Vue) into metapi as
a monorepo subdirectory under desktop/. Source only — node_modules,
dist, Cargo target and the upstream .git history are excluded.

desktop/ keeps its own independent Cargo workspace (desktop/src-tauri
with crates/*); it is not part of the backend boosapi crate, so a
`cargo check` at the metapi root still compiles only the backend. Build
the desktop app from desktop/src-tauri per desktop/README.md.

Note: app icons are still placeholder assets pending the final BoosAPI
logo. The updater signing keys live outside the repo and are not
included.

Features

BoosApi is a local-first AI desktop workspace. This page is updated for v0.0.85 and covers the recent provider import, third-party data import, MCP, HTML rendering, backup and gateway work.

Chat & Models

Multi-provider chat — Connect OpenAI, Claude, Gemini, DeepSeek, Qwen and any OpenAI-compatible endpoint with custom Base URL, API Path, headers and proxy rules.
Provider onboarding — Use boosapi:// provider links and CC Switch import to bring provider profiles into BoosApi after user confirmation.
Model management — Sync remote model lists, organize groups, test latency and configure capabilities, context length, sampling defaults, reasoning profiles and per-model extra_body fields.
Conversation workflows — Stream replies with thinking blocks, compare message versions, branch conversations, show title-generation status, compress long chats and ask multiple models in parallel.

AI Agent

Agent mode — Let the model read and edit files, run commands and analyze code inside a controlled desktop workflow.
Permission control — Choose standard review, auto-accept edits or full-access mode while keeping working-directory sandbox checks active.
Approval and cost UI — Review tool calls in real time, remember allow decisions and track token/cost usage for each agent session.

Content Rendering

Markdown and math — Render Markdown, code highlighting, tables, task lists and LaTeX formulas in streaming conversations.
Code, diagrams and artifacts — Use Monaco code blocks, Mermaid, D2 diagrams and an Artifact panel for code, Markdown notes, reports and previews.
HTML fragment rendering — Preview generated HTML fragments safely, including the streaming fixes added in the recent releases.

Search & Knowledge

Web search — Use Tavily, Zhipu WebSearch, Bocha and other search providers with cited sources and generated search queries.
Local knowledge bases — Index private documents with sqlite-vec, tune retrieval/rerank options and inspect retrieval feedback.
Context management — Attach files, search results, knowledge snippets, memories and tool output to the conversation context.

Tools & Extensions

MCP protocol — Run Model Context Protocol servers over stdio, SSE or StreamableHTTP.
Built-in tools — Use built-in MCP tools such as @boosapi/fetch and file search without installing a separate server.
Tool loop limit — Configure the maximum MCP tool-call loop count and recover more cleanly from interrupted or stuck tool sessions.

API Gateway

Local gateway — Expose OpenAI Chat Completions, OpenAI Responses, Claude-native and Gemini-native endpoints from the desktop app.
Access and observability — Manage gateway keys, SSL/TLS certificates, request logs and usage analytics locally.
Client templates — Use ready-made templates for Claude Code, Codex CLI, OpenCode, Gemini CLI and custom clients.

Data Import & Backup

Third-party imports — Import ChatGPT official exports, Cherry Studio backups and Kelivo backups with preview counts, warnings and duplicate handling.
Provider and file migration — Cherry Studio and Kelivo import can optionally migrate linked providers, API keys and file attachments.
Backups — Back up and restore local data through local folders, WebDAV or S3-compatible storage.

Desktop & Security

Local encryption — Store app state under ~/.boosapi/ and user files under ~/Documents/boosapi/, with API keys protected by AES-256 and a local master key.
Desktop integration — Use tray mode, always-on-top, global shortcuts, auto-start, proxy settings and automatic update checks.
11 interface languages — Switch between Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, English, Japanese, Korean, French, German, Spanish, Russian, Hindi and Arabic.
