Eliminates the fragile "delete the config folder before upgrading" tester
instruction, which was wrong-by-OS because the userData folder name was
derived inconsistently per platform (fee[dB]ack on macOS, slopsmith-desktop
on Linux/Windows).
A. Deterministic paths + migration framework
- Pin the userData name on every OS via app.setName('feedback-desktop') +
build.extraMetadata.name; brand (productName 'fee[dB]ack') unchanged.
- One-time userData migration copies a legacy folder into the new one so
upgraded users don't start fresh (atomic copy-then-rename, fail-soft).
Runs before the single-instance lock / crashReporter, which would otherwise
create userData and defeat the "new dir doesn't exist" gate.
- config-migrations.ts: versioned, ordered, idempotent, fail-soft migration
runner stamped in CONFIG_DIR/config_version.json; logs the active CONFIG_DIR
at startup (closes the Linux ~/.local/share/slopsmith shared-config gap).
B. In-app "Reset / repair configuration" (Settings panel)
- Granular options: reset app settings & caches, clear plugin state & cached
Python deps, and full reset with default-OFF opt-ins for installed plugins /
song library / ML caches.
- config-paths.ts is the single source of truth for per-OS path enumeration;
the song library, installed plugins and ML caches are structurally confined
to optInExtras and never wiped by the safe/full categories.
- Reset stops the backend, deletes immediate paths, includes SQLite WAL/SHM
sidecars + the migration stamp on full reset, and defers Chromium/Crashpad
state to next launch (consumed before any window reopens it). ML caches honor
TORCH_HOME/HF_HOME. Empty selection is a no-op (backend left running).
- SECURITY: destructive resets require a native main-process confirmation
dialog — the renderer bridge is reachable by plugin scripts, so a
renderer-only confirm is not a sufficient gate.
Tests: node:test suites for path enumeration (per-OS + library/plugins
preserved), migration idempotency/fail-soft, reset delete pipeline guarantees,
userData migration, and deferred-deletion schedule/consume. `npm test` green
(adds a test script). codex review --base origin/main clean.

Slopsmith Desktop
Standalone cross-platform desktop app that wraps Slopsmith with integrated VST hosting, amp modeling, audio I/O, and full plugin support.
Install
Prebuilt installers for the latest tagged release are published on the GitHub Releases page.
| Platform | Download | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Windows 10/11 (x64) | Slopsmith.Setup.<version>.exe |
NSIS installer. On first run Windows SmartScreen may warn — click More info → Run anyway. |
| macOS 12+ (Apple Silicon) | Slopsmith-<version>-arm64.dmg |
Signed & notarized. Intel Macs are not currently published — build from source. |
| Linux (x86_64) | Slopsmith-<version>.AppImage |
chmod +x then run. Portable, no install step. |
| Debian / Ubuntu (x86_64) | slopsmith-desktop_<version>_amd64.deb |
sudo apt install ./slopsmith-desktop_<version>_amd64.deb |
First launch may take a minute or two while ML model caches populate in the app cache directory. Subsequent launches are fast.
There is currently no Homebrew, winget, Chocolatey, Scoop, Flatpak, or Snap distribution — download directly from Releases. The app does not yet ship an auto-updater; check Releases periodically for new versions.
