PLAN.md §12 noted "Native dialogs (file pickers, notifications) — where
do they live?" as an open question with the bias "QML side via Qt".
That bias was never written up; without the doc, a Symfony developer
new to Qt would reasonably reach for "POST /api/show-dialog" or roll
a custom QML "FileDialog" using Window + ListView. Both are wrong.
The doc:
- States the boundary plainly (native UI = QML side, never PHP) plus
the architectural reason (PHP's process can't reach the user's
window manager; Qt's can and already wraps every platform's
native API).
- Walks through Qt.labs.platform.FileDialog / MessageDialog /
SystemTrayIcon / StandardPaths with copy-pasteable examples so
apps don't need to discover Qt.labs the hard way.
- Explains the trigger-vs-effect split: user-initiated confirmations
open from the QML handler that fired the action; server-side
events route through Mercure and let QML decide how to surface
them (toast / dialog / tray notification).
Anti-pattern callouts: don't dispatch dialogs from Doctrine listeners,
don't add HTTP endpoints whose only job is to trigger UI side-effects,
don't roll a custom QML file browser.
Notifications caveat: Qt.labs.platform.SystemTrayIcon::showMessage
covers the common case but routes through the tray. Richer
notifications (action buttons, replies) need platform-specific code
and are deferred — flagged in-doc.
PLAN.md §13 also mentioned "ship a small Q_INVOKABLE helper for the
common cases". Skipped: every common case Qt.labs.platform already
covers, and a wrapper would just shadow upstream's API. If a future
need surfaces a real gap (XDG portal notifications without tray,
say), that's the time to add framework-side code; the doc will
point at it.
No code changes; doc-only.

The v0.1.0 shakedown fixes for AppImage assembly (path-repo
symlink:false sed, writable-cache redirect) all landed in
examples/todo. The skeleton — which is what bin/php-qml-init copies
when scaffolding a new app — had no `appimage` target at all, so every
scaffolded app would have to either copy the example's Makefile by
hand or re-discover the same shakedown bugs.
Brings parity:
- framework/skeleton/Makefile gains `staging-symfony` and `appimage`
targets, mirroring the example's. Two new variables (BUNDLE_SRC,
PACKAGING) parameterise the framework-tree paths so bin/php-qml-init
can rewrite them at scaffold time without sed-touching the recipe.
- framework/skeleton/packaging/skeleton.{desktop,png} added — minimum
surface for the AppImage assembly to succeed without the user
needing to author them.
- framework/skeleton/Makefile's staging-symfony recipe handles both
relative (framework default `../../php`) and absolute (post-scaffold)
BUNDLE_SRC values via a case statement.
- bin/php-qml-init renames packaging/skeleton.* → packaging/$NAME.*,
rewrites the .desktop file's Name/Exec/Icon, and updates the
Makefile's --app-name / --output / --desktop / --icon flags +
BUNDLE_SRC + PACKAGING variables. For --vendor mode, framework's
packaging/linux/ is also vendored to .bridge-packaging/ alongside
the existing .bridge/ + .bridge-qml/.
Verified by scaffolding both modes:
- non-vendored: BUNDLE_SRC + PACKAGING absolute paths
- --vendor: BUNDLE_SRC=../.bridge, PACKAGING=.bridge-packaging,
.bridge-packaging/ contains build-appimage.sh
Skeleton's `make quality` still green; staging-symfony works locally
(vendor/php-qml/bridge resolves to a real directory, not a symlink).
Closes the v0.1.1 follow-up "bin/php-qml-init parity" tracked in
PLAN.md §13.
Bundled drive-by: docs/makers.md picked up two markdownlint auto-fixes
(blank lines around lists) when the IDE saved.

Closes the two release-prep items called out in the Phase 5 closure
paragraph (a3d35a7).
License: LGPL-3.0-or-later. Chosen to align with Qt 6's LGPLv3, which
keeps the AppImage's relinkability obligation (PLAN.md §12) satisfied
and avoids version-mixing friction with upstream Qt. Two files at the
repo root:
- LICENSE — LGPL-3.0 text (the project license).
- LICENSE.GPL — GPL-3.0 text the LGPL-3.0 explicitly incorporates
("This version of the GNU Lesser General Public
License incorporates the terms and conditions of
version 3 of the GNU General Public License…").
framework/php/composer.json: "license": "proprietary" → SPDX
"LGPL-3.0-or-later". CHANGELOG Notes section updated with the actual
license + LICENSE/LICENSE.GPL pointer.
Repo URL: every `gitea.example/<org|you>/php-qml` (and `<org>/<repo>`
in docs/packaging-linux.md) replaced with the real
`src.bundespruefstelle.ch/magdev/php-qml`. Touched README.md,
CHANGELOG.md (compare + tag links), docs/getting-started.md,
docs/packaging-linux.md (build-appimage --update-info example +
latest.json appcast example).
PLAN.md: status line bumped to "v0.1.0 ready to tag — LGPL-3.0-or-later
license shipped, repo URL fixed". Phase 5 closure paragraph rewritten
to record both items resolved (rather than pending).
Only remaining manual edit at tag time: CHANGELOG `[0.1.0] — TBD` →
`[0.1.0] — YYYY-MM-DD` (per Keep-a-Changelog), and the actual
`git tag v0.1.0 && git push --tags` itself, which triggers
.gitea/workflows/release.yml. Per the branching memory, releases land
on main — merge dev → main first.
Verified: `make quality` from framework/skeleton green (16 tests, 45
assertions; PHPStan + cs-fixer clean; maker snapshots match).

README is now tight and link-heavy: 60-second tour, then deep links
into docs/. The wall of detail moved out.
docs/ covers the framework end-to-end:
- getting-started.md — prerequisites by distro (Tumbleweed, Fedora,
Debian/Ubuntu, Arch), full first-run walkthrough, troubleshooting.
- architecture.md — process pair, transport, dev/bundled mode.
- update-semantics.md — state machine + optimistic mutations + key
round-tripping.
- reactive-models.md — ReactiveListModel, ReactiveObject, Mercure
dual-publish.
- makers.md — make:bridge:resource/command/window.
- dev-workflow.md — hot reload (PHP + QML), dev console, editor
configs, bridge:doctor, snapshot/integration test loops, perfsmoke.
- bundled-mode.md — supervisor, per-session secret rotation,
first-launch migrations, auto-update wiring.
- packaging-linux.md — make appimage, build-appimage.sh CLI,
AppImageUpdate sidecar, perfsmoke budgets, release CI, bundle-size
breakdown.
- qml-api.md / php-api.md — exhaustive symbol reference with all
Q_PROPERTY/Q_INVOKABLE/signals + every public PHP service / attribute
/ command.
- configuration.md — every env var (host, Symfony, dev script,
packaging script, perfsmoke), every CLI flag (php-qml-init,
build-appimage.sh), make targets, default ports/paths.
