This marks a milestone alpha build of Prole.
Key changes
- build.sh now supports conditional third‑party frameworks via env flags:
- PROLE_ENABLE_IRCKit (default: 0)
- PROLE_ENABLE_RoyalVNCKit (default: 0)
- When disabled, IRCKit/RoyalVNCKit are not fetched, linked, or embedded.
- Swift compile receives convenience defines for conditional compilation:
- -D PROLE_ENABLE_IRCKit or -D PROLE_ENABLE_IRCKit_DISABLED
- -D PROLE_ENABLE_RoyalVNCKit or -D PROLE_ENABLE_RoyalVNCKit_DISABLED
- Archive flow stabilized; optional SSL-less path for IRCKit remains available via PROLE_DISABLE_SSL=1.
- App bundle generation unchanged (plist, icons, resources, codesign).
Why
- Restore a clean build on current toolchains and allow incremental re‑enablement of optional integrations.
- Make the build resilient: dependencies can be toggled on CI or locally without modifying sources.
Usage examples
- Default (alpha baseline; both off):
./build.sh build --arch arm64
- Enable IRCKit only:
PROLE_ENABLE_IRCKit=1 ./build.sh build --arch arm64
- Enable RoyalVNCKit only:
PROLE_ENABLE_RoyalVNCKit=1 ./build.sh build --arch arm64
- Enable both:
PROLE_ENABLE_IRCKit=1 PROLE_ENABLE_RoyalVNCKit=1 ./build.sh build --arch arm64
Notes
- IRCKit SSL-less switch remains available if needed:
PROLE_DISABLE_SSL=1 PROLE_ENABLE_IRCKit=1 ./build.sh build --arch arm64
- Current alpha defaults keep both IRCKit and RoyalVNCKit disabled.

Live-updating Dependencies (background checks via installer.config.get_dep_info)\n- Final steps retained: pre-completed items + Start Prole Workstation + Install Prole.app\n- Console shows docker run; Enter/Next runs detatched and verifies\n- Drag-to-install popup marks completion on close\n- Fixed-height footer to prevent background geometry shifts\n- Back/Next footer; Next triggers same action as Enter\n\nNote: docker run preview didn’t appear for the user; follow-up fix planned.
- Remove Vagrant from dependency checks and UI; use Docker for workstation build.\n- Add WORKSTATION_VERSION ARG + OCI version label in workstation/Dockerfile; tag image as prole-workstation:<version>.\n- Add installer.workstation helpers: parse version, compose canonical docker build (auto platform flags on Apple Silicon).\n- Refactor install.py Workstation page to display/execute docker build; write logs to logs/workstation-docker-<ts>.log; update summary links.\n- Update Deploy page copy: "Build workstation Docker image".\n- Centralize footer buttons styling/layout with installer.screen.create_nav_footer and use it from install.py.\n- Update installer package docs to describe Docker-based workstation helpers.
- Default to Application Window mode with full app menu; status bar overlay remains available
- Restore clickable startup Splash Tip (5s) with animated GIF and live counter; use light theme (Aqua)
- Status bar item: monospaced "P" icon; left click shows overlay (status mode) or main window (app mode)
- Overlay: add Maximize button (□) to toggle back to main window; keep click‑through elsewhere
- Global hotkey Cmd+Opt+Shift+P toggles modes; Prole menu item mirrors the same toggle and updates title dynamically
- Application menu (Prole): Show Status Bar / Show Main Window (contextual), Refresh Now, Quit
- Application Window layout: non‑scrolling, vertical 1‑line rows (svc, k3s aggregate, local) with top‑right timestamp; bottom‑left controls (⟳ Refresh, _ Minimize)
- Parameterize endpoints via `prole.properties` (bundled + user override). Replace legacy raspberry with retropie defaults
- ServiceChecker + UI read endpoints from Config loader; tooltips/labels reflect configured hosts/ports
- Build script: generate `Info.plist` with `LSUIElement=false`; bundle resources (`prole-type.gif`, `prole.properties`); ad‑hoc codesign. Universal build supported
- Documentation: rewrite README with technical build/run/config details and operational posture
Files:
- proleStatus/Sources/: AppDelegate.swift, OverlayWindow.swift, StatusView.swift, StatusItemController.swift,
SplashTipWindowController.swift, MainWindowController.swift, AppStatusView.swift, ServiceChecker.swift, Config.swift
- proleStatus/build.sh
- proleStatus/prole.properties
- proleStatus/README.md
Notes:
- Build verified via `./build.sh build` (arm64). App starts in App Window mode with light theme; menu + hotkey + overlay toggle operate as intended
- Set visible process/menu name to 'Prole Installer' via Foundation on macOS.
- Prefer .icns from built Prole.app for Dock icon; fallback to PNG from properties via AppKit.
- Keep Tk iconphoto as a universal fallback.
- Move image configuration to prole-app/prole.properties with new keys:
- icon=img/proleIcon.png
- background=img/proleLogoSepia.png
- Support legacy keys ui.icon and ui.background for backward compatibility.
Files:
- install.py: strengthen _set_app_identity for process title and Dock icon.
- installer/config.py: add getters prioritizing new keys (with fallbacks).
- prole-app/prole.properties: add canonical keys; retain legacy; document.
Result: On macOS the menu bar now shows 'Prole Installer' instead of 'Python' and the Dock uses the Prole 'P' icon by default. Non-macOS behavior unchanged.

Notes:

- Add root-level installer package: config, build, workstation, deploy
- Update install.py to import from installer.*
- Ensure build/deploy use top-level proleStatus only (no prole/proleStatus)
- Keep UI/behavior intact (wizard pages, embedded console)
This commit contains only files required to run ./install.py and the new installer/* modules.
