This visualizer mirrors the real 8-stage cryptographic operations inside the Ruby core.
A themed mockup of CRP56's desktop audio layer — mixer groups, live UI sound triggers, and volume/mute controls. This panel visually represents how FMOD routes SFX and music inside the Electron shell; it does not play real audio in the browser.
The ruby-core/ folder is the source of truth. Text and file encryption,
compression, phrase storage, payload formatting, and error handling live here.
OpenSSL, Zlib, JSON, Base64, and SecureRandom run directly in plain Ruby.
Electron is the presentation layer only. It owns the windows, renderer, and preload APIs. It does not contain crypto logic — that stays behind the bridge in the Ruby core.
A private ruby_bridge.js process manages JSON messages between Electron's
main process and the Ruby core over stdin/stdout IPC, keeping encryption out of the
renderer and out of reach of the UI.
FMOD runs on the Electron side and handles UI sound categories, music playback, mixer groups, and volume/mute controls. Audio stays on the desktop layer — it never enters the encryption engine.
Independent Ruby core responsible for text & file encryption/decryption, compression, phrase storage, payload formatting, and strict error handling using OpenSSL and Zlib.
Electron drives the desktop UI, navigation, and window lifecycle, treating itself as the presentation layer around the Ruby logic instead of the business engine.
Electron communicates with the Ruby core through a constrained bridge process that exchanges JSON messages over stdin/stdout or private IPC, keeping crypto logic out of the renderer.
FMOD integrates on the Electron side to handle UI sound categories, music playback, mixer groups, and volume/mute controls without polluting the Ruby encryption engine.
Clearly separated responsibilities: Ruby for logic, Electron for UI and desktop runtime, FMOD for audio. This mirrors modern multi-process desktop architectures and keeps refactors safe.
CRP56 is rebuilt in stages: encryption, compression, payloads, phrases, bridge integration, FMOD audio, and UI replacement. Each stage preserves behavior while moving away from the legacy WPF build.

cd ruby-core ruby main.rb
Open ruby-core/ in RubyMine. Run directly. No gem packaging needed
for a private project.
cd electron-app npm install npm run dev
Electron spawns the Ruby bridge from the main process and starts the FMOD audio layer. JSON messages flow over stdin/stdout.
