Extract the AppKit event loop from FrontendSpawner::spawn_frontend into a new public run_appkit_main_thread() function that blocks on the calling thread. This allows the process main thread (thread 0) to drive the UI, which is required for MainThreadMarker::new() to succeed. The FrontendSpawner impl now only spawns the async state watcher task.

trx-rs (work in progress)
This is an early, untested snapshot of a transceiver control stack (core + backend + frontends). Things may change quickly and APIs are not stable yet. Expect rough edges and bugs; use at your own risk and please report issues you hit. Features, tests and docs are still being written (or not).
The rig task is now driven by the controller components (state machine, handlers, and policies). Polling and retry behavior are configurable via the [behavior] section in the config file.
Supported backends
- Yaesu FT-817 (feature-gated crate
trx-backend-ft817) - Planned: other rigs I own; contributions and reports are welcome.
Frontends
- HTTP status/control frontend (
trx-frontend-http) - JSON TCP control frontend (
trx-frontend-http-json) - AppKit GUI frontend (
trx-frontend-appkit, macOS only, optional viaappkit-frontendfeature) - rigctl-compatible TCP frontend (
trx-frontend-rigctl, listens on 127.0.0.1:4532)
Plugin discovery
trx-server and trx-client can load shared-library plugins that register backends/frontends
via a trx_register entrypoint. Search paths:
./plugins~/.config/trx-rs/pluginsTRX_PLUGIN_DIRS(path-separated)
Example plugin: examples/trx-plugin-example
