Packaging Layout

packaging/ keeps build-time assets separate from application source code.

Directories

build-resources/: Electron Builder icons and installer assets. Small icon files are source-controlled. Large redistributables such as vc_redist*.exe stay local and are ignored.
resources/: Files copied into the packaged app as resources/extra, such as config files, cover templates, tray assets, sound effects, and voice preview cache metadata.
vendor/: Local packaging dependencies and large runtime bundles, including Playwright, Python runtime, FFmpeg, models, fonts, ziti, and BGM. This directory is intentionally ignored by Git.

Use the existing preparation scripts when a fresh checkout needs local packaging dependencies:

npm.cmd run prepare-package
node scripts\copy-playwright-browser.cjs

Dependency download helpers write into packaging/vendor instead of the project root.
