Description
crates/desktop/src/main.rs contains .unwrap() / .expect() calls that can panic the host process.
Problem
- Panics in the desktop host can crash the whole process instead of surfacing a recoverable error.
Suggested direction
- Audit the
.unwrap()/.expect()sites incrates/desktop/src/main.rsand convert them to graceful error surfacing using the existingAppError/ChatErrortypes (crates/app/src/lib.rslines ~1561-1566). - Verify the exact
.unwrap()/.expect()sites incrates/desktop/src/main.rsbefore starting, since those were not fully reviewed.

Research direction
Start by auditing the unwrap and expect sites in crates/desktop/src/main.rs, then read the AppError and ChatError definitions in crates/app/src/lib.rs around lines 1561-1566. Confirm the exact sites and determine how each should surface a recoverable error instead of panicking; done means the reviewed host paths no longer crash the process and the existing error types are used.
