01

Installable web application

VENTEX Connect can be added to the home screen or app launcher on supported platforms. Standalone mode provides a dedicated surface while remaining technically bound to its HTTPS origin.

Changing the app hostname does not silently move the service worker, local keys, push subscription or browser session.

02

Updates and offline resources

The service worker may cache only approved public application resources. Private message content is not treated as a general offline cache.

A release must consider cache version, active service worker and loaded application together. A successful deployment does not guarantee that every open client immediately runs the new version.

03

Push and background behaviour

Web Push depends on browser, operating system, permission and power-management rules. The platform decides when a closed PWA may perform background work.

VENTEX therefore does not promise arbitrary background execution or a fully custom, continuously reliable notification sound as a PWA capability.

04

Distribution security boundary

A PWA does not bypass platform protection. It reduces app-store publishing dependencies while remaining dependent on the browser engine, operating system, TLS and integrity of delivered code.
