ADR	0030	Rust commands/ module split by domain	active	2026-03-30

Context

src-tauri/src/commands.rs grew to 937 lines as Tauri command handlers accumulated for vault CRUD, git/GitHub sync, AI, system, and window operations. All commands shared a single file with no domain separation, making it hard to navigate, review, and extend. The file was a CodeScene hotspot dragging down overall code health.

Decision

Replace commands.rs with a commands/ module split by domain: vault.rs, git.rs, github.rs, ai.rs, system.rs, and mod.rs (shared utilities + re-exports). Each file owns the Tauri command handlers for its domain and the #[cfg(desktop)] / #[cfg(mobile)] stubs for platform-conditional availability. mod.rs is kept thin (≤100 lines) with no command logic — only re-exports and shared helpers (expand_tilde, parse_build_label).

Options considered

• Option A (chosen): Domain-based module split — mirrors the TypeScript hooks/commands/ pattern (ADR-0029). Each file is independently reviewable and scores well on code health. Downside: more files to navigate.
• Option B: Split by platform (desktop.rs, mobile.rs) — aligns with #[cfg(...)] guards but mixes domain concerns. Harder to find a specific command.
• Option C: Keep monolith but add section comments — zero file-count cost, but doesn't solve complexity or reviewability.

Consequences

• github.rs separates GitHub OAuth/API commands from git sync commands (git.rs), matching the underlying Rust module split (github/ vs git/).
• Platform stubs (#[cfg(mobile)] error returns) live alongside the desktop implementation in the same domain file.
• mod.rs re-exports all command functions so lib.rs invoke_handler! registration is unchanged.
• New Tauri commands go into the appropriate domain file; if no domain fits, create a new one rather than putting it in mod.rs.
• Re-evaluation trigger: if a single domain file (e.g. vault.rs) itself grows beyond ~300 lines and becomes a hotspot.
