BoxLang Desktop Runtime (Electron + MiniServer)

BoxLang is the AI-native software productivity platform for building, modernizing and running applications, with developers and AI agents working together.

Overview

This skill applies to desktop applications that embed BoxLang using Electron and run a local BoxLang MiniServer process.

Core model:

• Electron owns desktop lifecycle (window, tray, menu, shortcuts).
• A local MiniServer process serves the BoxLang app.
• The BrowserWindow loads the local MiniServer URL.
• Frontend assets are served via Vite in development and built artifacts in production.

This pattern gives a desktop UX without replacing BoxLang with another backend stack.
