BFlat 76df2d4136 M9: hosting figcraft-server: wss in the desktop app, server releases, deployment guide (#125)
The desktop app joins wss:// sessions (rustls with webpki roots, certificates always checked, clear errors; FIGCRAFT_CA_FILE for private authorities), with one TLS session shared by the reader and writer threads. figcraft-server stops gracefully on SIGTERM/SIGINT/SIGHUP/Ctrl+C, ships in Linux x86_64/aarch64 release archives, and docs/server.md gains a Deploy on a Linux server guide with a hardened systemd unit, Caddyfile, nginx config and Dockerfile in packaging/server.

# Collaboration parity
> **Last reviewed:** 2026-10-10 · **Last updated:** 2026-10-11 · **Change:** minor (hosting the server: `wss://` in the desktop app, server releases, deployment guide; team libraries on the server and swap library; branches: create, update from main, review and merge; wording: the standalone server with share links to edit or view; numbers unchanged) · **Target:** Figma Design (desktop app 126.10.7)
Figma is multiplayer first; FigCraft is local first. **Ready ~13% (estimated):** comments, version
history and branches (review and merge) work inside one file; the real-time collaboration core landed in #103 (sync model,
server ordering, client reconciliation, convergence tests), and live sessions (preview) let
several apps co-edit a file hosted by one desktop app or kept on a self-hosted `figcraft-server`
with share links to edit or view, joined from the desktop app or the browser, with others'
cursors, selections and text carets shown live ([`collab-protocol.md`](collab-protocol.md), [`server.md`](server.md)). Remaining: 55–110 h
(multiplayer 45–90 h, shared libraries 10–20 h); branching landed (its tail: 1–3 h).
| Feature | Figma | FigCraft | Hours |
|---|---|---|---|
| Real-time co-editing | yes | **core built, no networking** (#103): client-scoped ids, per-property change sets with fractional positions, server ordering and validation, optimistic clients, binary messages; randomized multi-client convergence tests over real commands. Live sessions over the network landed (`crates/collab-net`): the WebSocket transport (keep-alive, size and rate limits, reconnect with backoff), hosting from the app (this machine or the local network) with invite links, live cursors with name tags, selections, avatars and follow, `collab.*` commands. Document sync between apps works over them (the host's server orders every batch; guests open the host's file as a new tab). Undo is per person (only your own steps, others' later writes left alone), refused edits roll back with a toast, and a reconnect resumes as the same client with what it missed (or a snapshot) and sends what was made offline. The browser build joins (same messages through the browser's WebSocket API); `figcraft://` invite links open the desktop app and join. Styles, variables, collections, modes and comments made in a session take ids from their creator's space (the server checks it), so concurrent creations all survive; modes, per-mode values and replies inside one entry still resolve last-writer-wins. A standalone `figcraft-server` keeps many files, persists them (a snapshot plus a log, compacted), loses nothing confirmed across a restart (apps resume as the same participants) and takes files published from the app (Share ▸ Publish to server…). The desktop app and the CLI open `wss://` links too (TLS through a reverse proxy), and releases ship the server for Linux with a deployment guide (systemd, Caddy, nginx, Docker). Left: server archives beyond Linux | 25–55 |
| Live cursors, selections, viewports; follow / observation mode; spotlight | yes | **partial, in live sessions**: named cursors, selection outlines, avatars, follow (click an avatar), others' text carets and selected characters with their names, a note when two people type in one layer; no spotlight | 8–15 |
| Cursor chat, audio, high-fives | yes | no | 4–8 |
| Share links, permissions (view / edit), teams and projects | yes | **partial**: `figcraft-server` share links per file with edit or view access (a viewer sees changes and presence, a "View only" badge and only the moving tools; the server refuses its edits), revocable at once, tokens stored as hashes; managed from the app's Share popover (first links), the server's command line or a managing connection. No accounts, teams or projects | 8–17 |
| Comments: pins on frames and layers, threads, reactions, @mentions, resolve, unread, search and filters, links, in the presenter | yes (shared) | **done, local**: stored in the file, your name from Preferences | (shared once multiplayer lands) |
| Version history: named versions, autosave checkpoints, view before restore, restore, duplicate | yes (cloud) | **done**, saved in the `.figcraft` file | — |
| Branching and merging | yes (paid plans) | **done, local**: branches saved in the `.figcraft` file, each opened in its own tab; Review and merge shows both sides' changes since the branch was made and the conflicts (the same property on both sides, or a layer deleted on one side and edited on the other), each resolved for the branch or main; merge as one undo step (the branch is archived), update from main, archive. Left: a branch's own version history, list properties (fills, text runs) merged item by item, branches in live sessions | 1–3 |
| Team / organization libraries | yes | **partial**: a file's library is published to `figcraft-server` under the file and enabled in other files by a share link (per-asset versions, background update checks, overrides kept), usage counts per component and file, swapping a library by names ([components-parity](components-parity.md), [server.md](server.md#team-libraries)). No team-wide library list, accounts or analytics over time | 4–8 |
| Notifications, activity | yes | no | with sharing |
## Revision history
| Date | Change | Summary |
|---|---|---|
| 2026-10-11 | minor | Hosting `figcraft-server`: the desktop app and `figcraft-cli` open `wss://` links (rustls with Mozilla's root certificates, always verified; `FIGCRAFT_CA_FILE` adds a private authority), releases ship the server for Linux x86_64 and aarch64, it stops gracefully on SIGTERM or Ctrl+C, and `docs/server.md` has a deployment guide (systemd unit, Caddy, nginx, Docker); percentages and hours unchanged until the next re-measure |
| 2026-10-11 | minor | Team libraries on `figcraft-server` (gap 10): a file's library is published to the server under the file and enabled in other files by a share link, updates are noticed in the background and accepted with overrides kept, the server counts which files use which components, and a library can be swapped for another by names; team libraries 10–20 h → 4–8 h; ready ~12% → ~13% |
| 2026-10-11 | minor | Branches landed (gap 17): File ▸ Create branch… copies the file into a branch tab that remembers its base; Review and merge shows both sides' changes (layers with Inspect-style property changes, styles, variables, comments) and the conflicts (the same property changed on both sides, or a layer deleted on one side and edited on the other), each resolved for the branch or main; merging is one undo step and archives the branch; Update from main; branches are saved in the `.figcraft` file. Comments, versions, find, misc breadth 80% → 85%, ready 58% → 60%, 4–8 h → 2–5 h; collaboration 12% → 13%; menu breadth 204/204 (the catalog gained File ▸ Create branch…); feature breadth (~79%) and ready for real work (~47%) unchanged at this rounding; full parity ~380–725 h → ~378–722 h |
| 2026-10-11 | minor | Collaboration wording after the standalone server: `figcraft-server` keeps many files, persisted as a snapshot plus a log of what changed (compacted, checksummed, damaged files skipped and reported), restarts lose nothing confirmed and apps resume where they were; the app publishes its file to it; share links per file let people edit or only view (the server refuses a viewer's edits), are revocable and stored as hashes; TLS comes from a reverse proxy (the desktop app has none of its own yet); percentages and hours unchanged until the next re-measure |
| 2026-10-11 | minor | Collaboration wording after the collaboration polish: styles, variables, collections, modes and comments created in a live session take ids from their creator's id space (concurrent creations no longer overwrite each other; the server checks it), others' text carets and selections show on the canvas, and typing in a layer someone else is typing in says so; percentages unchanged |
| 2026-10-11 | minor | Wording only: live sessions (#104), then the browser joining them and `figcraft://` invite links opening the desktop app; percentages and hours unchanged until the next re-measure |
| 2026-10-10 | minor | Merged main after #101–#103: WASM plugins (plugins area 0% → 35% breadth, 20% ready; ecosystem 5% → 20%) and the multiplayer core without networking (multiplayer 5% → 15% breadth, 5% ready; collaboration 8% → 12%); menu breadth 97.5% → 98.5% (200/203); ready for real work ~46% → ~47%; full parity 420–790 h → 390–745 h; beta 210–380 h → 200–365 h. Fixed the stated weight sums (areas 1–16 sum to 94, total 113; percentages were already computed with those) |
