+# check-desktop-runtime-errors
+
+This script automates the processes of:
+
+1) Building
+2) Packaging
+3) Installing
+4) Executing
+5) Verifying Electron distributions
+
+It runs the application for a duration and detects runtime errors in the packaged application via:
+
+- **Log verification**: Checking application logs for errors and validating successful application initialization.
+- **`stderr` monitoring**: Continuous listening to the `stderr` stream for unexpected errors.
+- **Window title inspection**: Checking for window titles that indicate crashes before logging becomes possible.
+
+Upon error, the script captures a screenshot (if `--screenshot` is provided) and terminates.
+
+## Usage
+
+```sh
+node ./scripts/check-desktop-runtime-errors
+```
+
+## Options
+
+- `--build`: Clears the electron distribution directory and forces a rebuild of the Electron app.
+- `--screenshot`: Takes a screenshot of the desktop environment after running the application.
+
+This module provides utilities for building, executing, and validating Electron desktop apps.
+It can be used to automate checking for runtime errors during development.
+
+## Configs
+
+Configurations are defined in [`config.js`](./config.js).
