- Add a one-time copy of the previous default Electron profile into
~/.fusion/desktop-user-data (user-data-migration.ts) so upgrading operators
keep window geometry/session instead of starting fresh (report Issue 8).
- Verify main.js/preload.js/client assets in scripts/build.ts (pre-package
staging) and in the packaged app.asar via desktop-windows.yml, so an
incomplete package fails the build/CI instead of dead-ending at runtime with
a silent missing preload (report Issue 5, recommendation #2).
- Fix two pre-existing stale workflow-assertion tests that expected a bare
'electron-builder --win' after the scripts moved to '--projectDir deploy'.
- Update the field report with a per-issue resolution matrix.

Add reports/desktop-release-issues-2026-07-03.md documenting the
regressions observed in the Fusion 0.52.0 Windows desktop release,
including:
- fusion desktop fails to launch because electron is a devDependency
- native launcher walks ancestor dirs and fails on unrelated workspace JSON
- Manage Projects opens Settings instead of overview
- Windows Terminal Help version dialogs on dashboard load
- packaged preload.cjs missing in unpacked release layout
- port collisions and dashboard/gateway drift on Windows
- GPU/sandbox rendering instability on Windows Electron
- isolated user-data path needed
- CLI desktop command not reusing an already-running dashboard server
Also include the two experimental mitigations we applied locally:
- disable GPU/sandbox Electron flags in desktop.ts
- skip embedded local runtime when FUSION_SERVER_PORT is already set
These changes are intended as supporting evidence and starting points
for the Fusion team, not as a final fix.
