8 8.4 System Tray Mode draft

Epic 8 — Windows App (Rust + iced)

Goal: Fast, lightweight native Windows app -- single .exe, no runtime dependencies.

Story 8.4: System Tray Mode

As a Windows user, I want CalcPad to run in the system tray, So that it is always available without taking up taskbar space.

Acceptance Criteria:

Given the app is running When the user looks at the Windows system tray (notification area) Then a CalcPad icon is visible

Given the tray icon is present When the user right-clicks the tray icon Then a context menu appears with options: Show, New Sheet, Recent Sheets (submenu), and Quit

Given the tray icon is present When the user left-clicks the tray icon Then the main CalcPad window toggles visibility (shows if hidden, hides if shown)

Given the user selects "New Sheet" from the tray menu When the action is processed Then the main window opens (if hidden) and a new empty sheet is created

Given the user closes the main window (clicks the X button) When "background running" is enabled in settings Then the app minimizes to the tray instead of quitting And the tray icon remains active

Given the user selects "Quit" from the tray context menu When the action is processed Then the app fully terminates (saves state and exits)

Given "background running" is disabled in settings When the user closes the main window Then the app exits completely (no tray persistence)
