The main app selects its UI at startup via command-line flag:
- *(default)* — WinForms (`MainForm`)
- `--wpf` — WPF with MahApps.Metro (`MainWindow`)
- `--avalonia` — Avalonia with Fluent theme (`AvaloniaMainWindow`)
All three UIs bind to the same `DataModel`. Dialog events (`SelectSourceFolderRequested`, etc.) are subscribed in each window's code-behind. `DataModel.UiInvoker` must be set by the active UI to enable cross-thread UI updates (Avalonia sets this to `Dispatcher.UIThread.Invoke`; WPF uses `Application.Current.Dispatcher`).
The main app launches Avalonia directly. Dialog events (`SelectSourceFolderRequested`, etc.) are subscribed in `AvaloniaMainWindow` code-behind. `DataModel.UiInvoker` must be set by the active UI to enable cross-thread UI updates (Avalonia sets this to `Dispatcher.UIThread.Invoke`).
