Reproduction
- Install LibreFang using the latest Windows x64 setup exe.
- Launch

Actual result
The app exits immediately with exit code 101:
Starting LibreFang Desktop...
thread 'main' panicked at crates\librefang-desktop\src\lib.rs:532:10:
Failed to build Tauri application: PluginInitialization("updater", "Error deserializing 'plugins.updater' within your Tauri configuration: invalid type: null, expected struct Config")
Expected result
The desktop app should open normally.
Additional context
This reproduced on multiple recent Windows desktop releases:
- 26.6.32179
- 26.6.32190
- 26.6.32241
The source contains updater config in crates/librefang-desktop/tauri.desktop.conf.json, but the release workflow appears to build with only target args and without explicitly passing/merging that desktop config overlay. The updater metadata URL also currently returns Not Found:
