Module AirStart 

Air Start Module

Spawns and connects to the Air daemon sidecar.

Mirror of CocoonStart.rs. Air is the long-lived background daemon responsible for updates, downloads, crypto signing, file indexing, system monitoring, and other off-the-hot-path work that should not tax the workbench. Mountain spawns Air at boot, connects via gRPC over [::1]:50053, and registers it as a sidecar in the same Vine pool as Cocoon.

Lifecycle parity with Cocoon:

• Resolve binary path from the Tauri sidecar resolver. The Air binary ships next to Mountain in the bundle (release builds); in dev mode the Cargo target dir is searched.
• Spawn as a background tokio task with stdout/stderr captured.
• Wait for the gRPC server to become available, then create an AirClient and store it in the environment for handlers to consume.
• On failure: log a degraded-mode warning and return Ok(()) - the workbench works without Air, just without update / index / system-monitor capability.

Constants

AIR_GRPC_ADDRESS 🔒

Default gRPC address used by Air. Mirror of AirClient::DEFAULT_AIR_SERVER_ADDRESS for the connect step.

Functions

AirStart

Spawn and connect to the Air daemon. Returns Ok(()) regardless of outcome - Air is non-essential for workbench operation; Mountain gracefully degrades when Air is unavailable.
