deck

Desktop ops tool for the phoenixvc ecosystem.

What it does

Deck is a Tauri desktop application that provides a unified operations interface for phoenixvc infrastructure and services. It combines a VSCode-style shell with panels for:

• Service Manager — start, stop, and monitor local and remote services
• Dashboard — environment status and recent deployments at a glance
• Infrastructure Panel — Bicep template viewer, what-if preview, resource grid, deployment history
• Test runner — integrated test execution

Stack

Layer	Tech
Desktop shell	Tauri 2.0 + Rust
Frontend	React 18 + TypeScript 5 + Vite 5 + Tailwind CSS
CLI sidecar	.NET 9 (Deck.CLI)
Services layer	.NET 9 (Deck.Services)
Shared contracts	Rust crate (deck-contracts)

Ecosystem

Deck is a peer tool in the phoenixvc ecosystem:

Origin

Deck was extracted from mystira-workspace/apps/devhub (Mystira DevHub v0.1.0). Mystira-specific panels (Cosmos Explorer, Migration Manager) were removed during extraction. The VSCode-layout shell, Service Manager, Infrastructure Panel, and Bicep tooling were retained as the generic base.
