Tauri Binary Size Optimization

This skill provides guidance on optimizing Tauri application binary sizes for production releases.

Why Tauri Produces Small Binaries

Tauri is designed from the ground up to produce minimal binaries:

1. Native Webview: Uses the operating system's native webview instead of bundling Chromium (unlike Electron)
2. Rust Backend: Compiles to efficient native code with no runtime overhead
3. Tree Shaking: Only includes code that is actually used
4. No V8 Engine: Leverages existing system components rather than bundling a JavaScript engine
