feat(ui): installable offline PWA — service worker, manifest, icons (F5)
Native SvelteKit service worker (src/service-worker.ts): a version-keyed
cache precaches the app shell + build artefacts (incl. core.wasm) +
static files; activate purges old caches; the gateway is never
intercepted; navigations fall back to the cached shell offline. Adds
static/manifest.webmanifest, a generated placeholder icon set
(scripts/gen-pwa-icons.mjs — dependency-free pure-Node PNG encoder), and
manifest / theme-color / apple-touch tags in app.html.

Gated by Playwright against a production preview (playwright.pwa.config.ts
+ tests/pwa/pwa.spec.ts via `pnpm test:pwa`, wired into ui-test):
manifest + installable icons, SW registration + a single version-keyed
cache, and offline shell load. Lighthouse is not used — its PWA category
was removed in v12.

Docs: ui/docs/pwa-strategy.md (+ index); F5 marked done.

PWA strategy

The web client is an installable, offline-tolerant PWA. It uses SvelteKit's native service worker (no Workbox) so there is no extra build dependency and the cache logic stays explicit.

Pieces

  • src/service-worker.ts — the worker. SvelteKit registers it automatically in the production build. It precaches the app shell (/), the build artefacts (JS/CSS + core.wasm), and the static files under a version-keyed cache (galaxy-cache-<version>, version from $service-worker). On activate it deletes every other cache, so a new deploy never serves stale code. Strategy: cache-first for the version-keyed build/files; network-first with cache fallback for everything else; the cached shell answers navigations when fully offline. The gateway (cross- origin) is never intercepted — it is always live network.
  • static/manifest.webmanifest — name, standalone display, start_url/scope /, dark theme_color/background_color, and the icon set.
  • static/icons/192/512 (any), a 512 maskable, and a 180 apple-touch icon. They are placeholder artwork generated from static/favicon.svg by scripts/gen-pwa-icons.mjs (a dependency-free pure-Node PNG encoder); swap in real artwork at the same paths and the manifest is unchanged.
  • src/app.html — the manifest link, the apple-touch-icon link, and light/dark theme-color metas matching the design tokens.

Testing

PWA behaviour is gated by Playwright against a production preview build (playwright.pwa.config.ts

  • tests/pwa/pwa.spec.ts, run by pnpm test:pwa in CI): the manifest is linked with installable icons, the service worker registers and controls the page under exactly one version-keyed cache, and the app shell loads offline from that cache. The spec needs a real build because $service-worker's build list is empty under vite dev.

Lighthouse is intentionally not used: its PWA category was removed in Lighthouse 12 (the current line is 13.x), so "Lighthouse PWA ≥ 90" is no longer a meaningful gate. The Playwright checks above verify the same install/offline behaviour directly.
