Tauri Agentic — Desktop as Agentic Platform for the Finder

Core Mission: Turn the Tauri app into a first-class agentic environment where the finder-reactor runs with full autonomy (background scans, smart decisions), but with built-in self-guards and pauses exposed naturally in the UI and via MCP. This makes the desktop the perfect "body" for the agent: rich views for humans, tool interface for other agents.

Key Patterns

1. MCP Server in Tauri:

   • Use Rust to implement MCP stdio or local HTTP server (tauri can spawn or use hyper/axum in a plugin).
   • Expose tools: search_x_opportunities, analyze_and_decide, generate_prep_with_guards, promote_with_preview, get_reactor_state.
   • Guards: every tool call goes through finder-reactor guards (cost, fit, CV).
   • For "ask user": MCP can return a special "pause" response that the client (Grok) handles by surfacing to human.

2. UI as Agent Interface:

   • Command palette (cmd+k) that lists reactor actions, with guard status indicators (e.g., "Search (rate: 80% ok, cost est low)").
   • Visual guards: dashboard shows current spend, rate limits, pending pauses.
   • Prep views: letter editor with "apply guard" buttons, diff viewer for CV promote (using cv-promote-guard).
   • "Autonomous mode" toggle: runs background reactor loop (with pauses surfacing as notifications/dialogs).
