Architecture at a Glance

Skydimo uses a Core + UI separation:

┌─────────────────────────────────┐
│  Core Process (core.exe)        │
│  ├─ Lighting Manager            │
│  ├─ Lua Plugin Runtime          │
│  ├─ WebSocket JSON-RPC Server   │
│  └─ System Tray                 │
└──────────┬──────────────────────┘
           │ WebSocket JSON-RPC 2.0
┌──────────▼──────────────────────┐
│  UI (Desktop / Browser)         │
│  └─ React SPA                   │
└─────────────────────────────────┘

• Core is a standalone native executable handling device management, the lighting engine, plugin runtime, and WebSocket server.
• UI is a React frontend communicating with Core via WebSocket JSON-RPC 2.0. It can run as a desktop app or in a standard browser.
