+description: 'Blazor component and application patterns'
+applyTo: '**/*.razor, **/*.razor.cs, **/*.razor.css'
+---
+
+## Blazor Code Style and Structure
+
+- Write idiomatic and efficient Blazor and C# code.
+- Follow .NET and Blazor conventions.
+- Use Razor Components appropriately for component-based UI development.
+- Prefer inline functions for smaller components but separate complex logic into code-behind or service classes.
+- Async/await should be used where applicable to ensure non-blocking UI operations.
+
+## Naming Conventions
+
+- Follow PascalCase for component names, method names, and public members.
+- Use camelCase for private fields and local variables.
+- Prefix interface names with "I" (e.g., IUserService).
+
+## Blazor and .NET Specific Guidelines
+
+- Utilize Blazor's built-in features for component lifecycle (e.g., OnInitializedAsync, OnParametersSetAsync).
+- Use data binding effectively with @bind.
+- Leverage Dependency Injection for services in Blazor.
+- Structure Blazor components and services following Separation of Concerns.
+- Always use the latest version C#, currently C# 13 features like record types, pattern matching, and global usings.
+
+## Error Handling and Validation
+
+- Implement proper error handling for Blazor pages and API calls.
+- Use logging for error tracking in the backend and consider capturing UI-level errors in Blazor with tools like ErrorBoundary.
+- Implement validation using FluentValidation or DataAnnotations in forms.
+
+## Blazor API and Performance Optimization
+
+- Utilize Blazor server-side or WebAssembly optimally based on the project requirements.
+- Use asynchronous methods (async/await) for API calls or UI actions that could block the main thread.
+- Optimize Razor components by reducing unnecessary renders and using StateHasChanged() efficiently.
+- Minimize the component render tree by avoiding re-renders unless necessary, using ShouldRender() where appropriate.
+- Use EventCallbacks for handling user interactions efficiently, passing only minimal data when triggering events.
+
+## Caching Strategies
+
+- Implement in-memory caching for frequently used data, especially for Blazor Server apps. Use IMemoryCache for lightweight caching solutions.
+- For Blazor WebAssembly, utilize localStorage or sessionStorage to cache application state between user sessions.
+- Consider Distributed Cache strategies (like Redis or SQL Server Cache) for larger applications that need shared state across multiple users or clients.
+- Cache API calls by storing responses to avoid redundant calls when data is unlikely to change, thus improving the user experience.
+
+## State Management Libraries
+
+- Use Blazor's built-in Cascading Parameters and EventCallbacks for basic state sharing across components.
+- Implement advanced state management solutions using libraries like Fluxor or BlazorState when the application grows in complexity.
+- For client-side state persistence in Blazor WebAssembly, consider using Blazored.LocalStorage or Blazored.SessionStorage to maintain state between page reloads.
+- For server-side Blazor, use Scoped Services and the StateContainer pattern to manage state within user sessions while minimizing re-renders.
+
+## API Design and Integration
+
+- Use HttpClient or other appropriate services to communicate with external APIs or your own backend.
+- Implement error handling for API calls using try-catch and provide proper user feedback in the UI.
+
+## Testing and Debugging in Visual Studio
+
+- All unit testing and integration testing should be done in Visual Studio.
+- Test Blazor components and services using xUnit, NUnit, or MSTest.
+- Use Moq or NSubstitute for mocking dependencies during tests.
+- Debug Blazor UI issues using browser developer tools and Visual Studio's debugging tools for backend and server-side issues.
+- For performance profiling and optimization, rely on Visual Studio's diagnostics tools.
+
+## Security and Authentication
+
+- Implement Authentication and Authorization in the Blazor app where necessary using ASP.NET Identity or JWT tokens for API authentication.
+- Use HTTPS for all web communication and ensure proper CORS policies are implemented.
+
+## API Documentation and Swagger
+
+- Use Swagger/OpenAPI for API documentation for your backend API services.
+- Ensure XML documentation for models and API methods for enhancing Swagger documentation.

 # Twitch Archive
 Inspired by https://github.com/EnterGin/Auto-Stream-Recording-Twitch
 
+## Git LFS
+
+This repository stores large media files (recorded video and some binaries). Use Git LFS to manage large objects.
+
+Quick setup (Windows):
+
+1. Install Git LFS: `git lfs install`
+2. Ensure `.gitattributes` is committed (this repo includes one).
+3. If you already have large files tracked by normal Git, migrate them:
+
+```powershell
+git lfs install
+git lfs track "*.mp4" "*.mkv" "bin/*"
+git add .gitattributes
+git add -A
+git commit -m "Migrate large files to LFS"
+git push origin main
+```
+
+Notes:
+- Git LFS needs server-side support. If using GitHub, enable Git LFS on the remote and ensure you have sufficient bandwidth/storage quota.
+- You can customize tracked patterns in `.gitattributes`.
+
 Python script to check, download live stream, VOD, chat and upload them to any cloud storage supported by rclone.
 
+## Docker
+
+This repository now includes a Python-only container setup for the archiver. The dotnet subapp is not part of this container flow.
+
+Files:
+
+- `docker/python.Dockerfile`: production image for the Python archiver
+- `docker-compose.yml`: deployment-oriented compose file
+- `docker-compose.override.yml`: local development and testing override
+- `.env.production`: production container and app environment template
+- `.env.development`: development container and app environment template
+- `dockerstart.bat`: Windows helper to run the container like the old batch launcher
+
+### Container layout
+
+- Mount your external archive folder to `/app/archive`
+- Mount your external config folder to `/app/config`
+- Put your `rclone.conf` file at `/app/config/rclone.conf` on the mounted host path
+- The container exports `RCLONE_CONFIG=/app/config/rclone.conf`, so rclone will use that file automatically
+
+### Production deployment
+
+1. Edit `.env.production` with your image name, Twitch credentials, bind paths, and default arguments.
+2. Place your streamer JSON files and `rclone.conf` in the mounted config folder.
+3. Start the container:
+
+```powershell
+docker compose --env-file .env.production up -d
+```
+
+4. Follow logs:
+
+```powershell
+docker compose --env-file .env.production logs -f twitch-archive
+```
+
+### Development and local testing
+
+The override compose file builds the image locally and mounts the repository for faster iteration.
+
+Start it with:
+
+```powershell
+docker compose --env-file .env.development -f docker-compose.yml -f docker-compose.override.yml up --build
+```
+
+Run a one-off manual test for another streamer:
+
+```powershell
+docker compose --env-file .env.development -f docker-compose.yml -f docker-compose.override.yml run --rm twitch-archive python twitch-archive.py -u hackerling --verbose
+```
+
+Or use the Windows helper:
+
+```powershell
+.\dockerstart.bat vinesauce --verbose
+```
+
+That batch launcher mirrors the old pattern and expands to a compose `run` command, so you can test any streamer manually.
+
+If the host has the NVIDIA Container Toolkit installed and you want FFmpeg/NVENC inside the container, use the optional NVIDIA override:
+
+```powershell
+.\dockerrebuild.bat
+.\dockerstart.bat --nvidia vinesauce --verbose
+```
+
+The image built by `.\dockerrebuild.bat` already includes the NVIDIA-capable FFmpeg/container toolchain. The optional [docker-compose.nvidia.yml](docker-compose.nvidia.yml) layer is only for runtime GPU passthrough: it requests `gpus: all` and sets `NVIDIA_VISIBLE_DEVICES` plus `NVIDIA_DRIVER_CAPABILITIES=compute,utility,video` for the container.
+
+On systems without NVIDIA support, keep using the normal command without `--nvidia`; the image still builds the same way, it just runs without GPU passthrough.
+
+### Healthcheck and smoke tests
+
+- Container healthcheck command: `python twitch-archive.py --healthcheck -u vinesauce`
+- Rclone smoke test command: `python twitch-archive.py -u vinesauce --rclone-smoke-test`
+
+The healthcheck verifies config loading plus `streamlink`, `ffmpeg`, `TwitchDownloaderCLI`, and `rclone` availability. The smoke test writes a tiny file, uploads it with the configured rclone remote, and prints the live rclone output into the container logs.
+

+Plan: C# .NET 10 Twitch Archive Rewrite
+A complete port of the Python archiver to C# .NET 10 with Blazor Server UI, real-time process output, SQLite state tracking, full DI/service pattern, NLog logging, and a resilient recording engine. Placed under dotnet/ in the existing repo.
+
+Project Layout
+Step 1 — Solution & Project scaffolding
+Create the SLN and three projects:
+
+TwitchArchive.Core — classlib, targets net10.0
+TwitchArchive.Web — Blazor Server (blazorserver), targets net10.0
+TwitchArchive.Tests — xUnit, targets net10.0
+NuGet packages:
+
+Core: Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.Sqlite, Polly, NLog, NLog.Extensions.Logging
+Web: all Core packages + Microsoft.AspNetCore.SignalR, NLog.Web.AspNetCore
+Tests: xunit, Moq, coverlet.collector, Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.InMemory
+Step 2 — Configuration models
+Mirror the existing JSON schemas as C# POCOs with System.Text.Json attributes:
+
+GlobalConfig.cs — one property per key in config/global.json.example
+StreamerConfig.cs — all fields nullable (override semantics), only Username and Enabled required
+EffectiveConfig.cs — computed merge of global + per-streamer; exposes resolved values
+AppSettings.cs — app-level settings (password hash, tool paths, .env secrets)
+IConfigurationService / ConfigurationService:
+
+LoadGlobal() / SaveGlobal(GlobalConfig)
+LoadStreamer(string username) / SaveStreamer(StreamerConfig)
+GetAllStreamers(), GetEffectiveConfig(string username) (merge logic)
+Reads/writes global.json and config/streamers/*.json — same files as Python
+Step 3 — Infrastructure layer
+TwitchApiClient (injectable, mockable):
+
+GetOAuthTokenAsync() — POST to https://id.twitch.tv/oauth2/token, caches token, refreshes on 401
+CheckStreamStatusAsync(string username) — GQL query for live stream + archiveVideo.id
+GetLatestVodAsync(string username) — GQL query for most recent VOD
+ValidateUsernameAsync(string username) — Helix /users endpoint
+Credentials read from environment (CLIENT-ID, CLIENT-SECRET, OAUTH-PRIVATE-TOKEN)
+All methods return typed result objects, never throw on network errors — return Result<T> (or OneOf)
+HttpResiliencePolicy (Polly):
+
+Wraps HttpClient for TwitchApiClient
+WaitAndRetryForever with exponential backoff starting at 15 s, doubling, capped at 10 minutes
+Only applies to transient errors (5xx, timeout, HttpRequestException) — not 401/404
+Logged via NLog on each retry attempt
+ProcessRunner (injectable + mockable for tests):
+
+RunAsync(ProcessRunOptions options, CancellationToken ct) → int exitCode
+StartAsync(ProcessRunOptions options, CancellationToken ct) → IRunningProcess handle (for long-lived processes like streamlink)
+Reads stdout and stderr line by line asynchronously
+Reports each line to IProcessOutputStore (streamer + job context)
+Forwards to NLog
+ProcessRunOptions: FileName, Arguments, WorkingDirectory, RedirectOutput
+
+Step 4 — Core services (all behind interfaces)
+IStreamMonitorService / StreamMonitorService
+
+Wraps TwitchApiClient
+CheckIsLiveAsync(string username) → LiveStreamInfo?
+GetLatestVodAsync(string username) → VodInfo?
+IRecorderService / RecorderService
+
+StartRecordingAsync(string username, string quality, string outputPath, CancellationToken ct) → Task<RecordingResult>
+Invokes streamlink via ProcessRunner
+Passes --hls-live-restart, --stream-segment-threads, optional OAuth header
+Returns when streamlink exits (either stream ended or ct cancelled)
+IProcessorService / ProcessorService
+
+ProcessRawStreamAsync(string rawPath, string outputPath, EffectiveConfig cfg, CancellationToken ct)
+Builds ffmpeg args: hwaccel, thread count, error recovery flags, faststart, copy codecs
+MergeVideoChatAsync(string videoPath, string chatVideoPath, string outputPath, string layout, CancellationToken ct)
+IDownloaderService / DownloaderService
+
+DownloadVodAsync(VodInfo vod, string outputPath, EffectiveConfig cfg, CancellationToken ct) → bool
+Invokes TwitchDownloaderCLI videodownload
+Chat download methods stubbed with NotImplementedException / commented structure; interface is defined now to keep the architecture clean
+IUploadService / UploadService
+
+UploadAsync(string localRoot, IEnumerable<string> relativeFilePaths, string rcloneDest, CancellationToken ct) → bool
+Writes a temp files-from list, invokes rclone copy --files-from
+Returns success/failure; preserves local files on failure
+IFileManagerService / FileManagerService
+
+InitializeDirectories(string rootPath, string username)
+GetPaths(string rootPath, string username, string filenameBase) → ArchivePaths record (all expected paths)
+CleanRawFile(string path, bool cleanRaw)
+DeleteLocalFiles(ArchivePaths paths, EffectiveConfig cfg)
+GetUniquePath(string path) → adds numeric suffix if file exists
+Step 5 — Recording resilience engine
+RecoveryPolicy (POCO, unit-testable, no DI deps):
+
+Encodes a state machine with these states:
+
+State	Meaning
+Monitoring	Normal polling at refresh interval
+Recording	streamlink subprocess active
+FastReconnect	Stream ended; checking every 10 s for up to 2 minutes
+SlowReconnect	Still not live after 2 min; checking every 60 s concurrently with post-processing
+PostProcessing	Confirmed ended; ffmpeg / VOD download / upload running
+NetworkFault	Twitch API unreachable; exponential back-off (30 s → capped at 10 min)
+Transitions:
+
+Recording → streamlink exits → enter FastReconnect, record phase start time
+FastReconnect → live confirmed → start new Recording (new filename/segment)
+FastReconnect (2 min elapsed) → enter SlowReconnect + kick off PostProcessing concurrently
+SlowReconnect → live confirmed → start new Recording
+SlowReconnect / Monitoring → API call throws network error → enter NetworkFault
+NetworkFault → successful API response → return to previous state (Monitoring or re-enter FastReconnect if we were mid-reconnect)
+NetworkFault backoff: 30s * 2^attempt, capped at 600s
+RecoveryPolicy is a pure class with a Tick(DateTime now, bool? isLive, bool networkError) method → returns RecoveryDecision (what to do next + sleep duration). Fully unit-testable with no async or DI.
+
+StreamWorker : BackgroundService
+
+One instance per enabled streamer
+Holds RecoveryPolicy instance
+Main loop: evaluate policy decision → execute the corresponding service call → loop
+Started/stopped by StreamWorkerManager
+Writes job records to SQLite on start/complete/fail
+StreamWorkerManager
+
+StartWorker(string username), StopWorker(string username), RestartWorker(string username)
+Called at app startup for all enabled streamers
+Called from Web UI on enable/disable/config change
+Workers stored in ConcurrentDictionary<string, (StreamWorker, CancellationTokenSource)>
+Step 6 — Persistence (SQLite + EF Core)
+ArchiveDbContext with three tables:
+
+StreamSessions: Id, StreamerUsername, TwitchStreamId, Title, StartedAt, EndedAt, Status (Recording/Processing/Uploading/Complete/Failed)
+
+ArchiveJobs: Id, SessionId, JobType (enum: RecordLive, ProcessLive, DownloadVod, ProcessVod, UploadCloud, DeleteLocal), Status, StartedAt, CompletedAt, FilePath, ErrorMessage
+
+StreamerStates: Username, IsMonitoring, LastCheckedAt, CurrentRecoveryState
+
+Migrations via EF Core CLI. ISessionRepository / IJobRepository interfaces for testability with in-memory EF provider in tests.
+
+Step 7 — Process output streaming
+IProcessOutputStore:
+
+AppendLine(string streamerId, Guid jobId, string line, bool isError)
+GetRecentLines(string streamerId, Guid jobId, int count = 500) → IReadOnlyList<OutputLine>
+In-memory circular buffer (1000 lines per job, last 20 jobs per streamer)
+ProcessOutputHub : Hub (SignalR):
+
+Clients call SubscribeToStreamer(string username) → join group streamer:{username}
+Clients call SubscribeToJob(Guid jobId) → join group job:{jobId}
+Server pushes ReceiveLine(OutputLine line) from ProcessRunner via IHubContext<ProcessOutputHub>
+On subscribe: server immediately sends buffered lines from IProcessOutputStore
+Step 8 — Blazor Server Web UI
+Authentication: Cookie-based single-password auth via ASP.NET Core minimal auth middleware. Password stored as BCrypt hash in AppSettings. Login.razor page at /login. Protected routes with [Authorize].
+
+Pages & Components:
+
+Dashboard.razor (/) — grid of all configured streamers showing: username, live/offline badge, current recovery state, last recorded session, quick Start/Stop monitoring toggle
+
+StreamerDetail.razor (/streamer/{username}) — live status, current job pipeline steps (record → process → upload with progress), ProcessOutputConsole.razor showing real-time terminal output via SignalR
+
+ProcessOutputConsole.razor — reusable Blazor component; subscribes to SignalR on mount, renders an auto-scrolling <pre> with colored output (stdout = white, stderr = orange/red), handles reconnect
+
+Sessions.razor (/sessions) — paginated list of past archive sessions with job statuses and expandable per-job output
+
+GlobalConfig.razor (/config/global) — EditForm bound to GlobalConfig model with data annotations validation, Save button calls IConfigurationService.SaveGlobal()
+
+StreamerConfig.razor (/config/{username}) — similar form for per-streamer overrides; each field has a nullable toggle (inherit from global vs override)
+
+AddStreamer.razor (/config/new) — minimal form: username + enabled; creates new config/streamers/{username}.json
+
+AppSettings.razor (/settings) — tool paths (streamlink, ffmpeg, TwitchDownloaderCLI, rclone), change password
+
+Step 9 — NLog configuration
+nlog.config (XML): two targets:
+
+Console (colored, with level formatting)
+File rolling (logs/archive-${shortdate}.log, keep 30 days)
+Log structured context: StreamerUsername, JobId, JobType as NLog ScopeContext properties. Service methods open a scope via ILogger.BeginScope(...).
+
+Step 10 — Docker
+Dockerfile (multi-stage):
+
+Build stage: mcr.microsoft.com/dotnet/sdk:10.0
+Runtime stage: mcr.microsoft.com/dotnet/aspnet:10.0 (Linux)
+Install ffmpeg, streamlink (via pip), download TwitchDownloaderCLI binary for linux-x64
+rclone installed via shell script or apt
+Expose port 8080
+ENTRYPOINT ["dotnet", "TwitchArchive.Web.dll"]
+docker-compose.yml:
+
+Volume mounts: ./config:/app/config, ./archive:/app/archive, ./logs:/app/logs
+Environment variables: CLIENT-ID, CLIENT-SECRET, OAUTH-PRIVATE-TOKEN
+Windows dev: run directly with dotnet run; tool paths auto-detected (Windows vs Linux) via RuntimeInformation.IsOSPlatform(OSPlatform.Windows) in ToolPathResolver
+
+Step 11 — Unit tests
+TwitchArchive.Tests covers:
+
+RecoveryPolicyTests — state machine transitions, timing phases, network fault backoff; pure synchronous tests
+ConfigurationServiceTests — JSON load/save/merge with temp files
+TwitchApiClientTests — mocked HttpMessageHandler; OAuth, GQL queries, 401 refresh, network errors
+FileManagerServiceTests — path generation, directory creation with temp directories
+DownloaderServiceTests / RecorderServiceTests — mocked ProcessRunner; verify correct CLI arguments
+UploadServiceTests — mocked ProcessRunner; verify rclone argument construction
+SessionRepositoryTests — EF Core in-memory provider
+EffectiveConfigTests — global + streamer override merge logic
+Verification
+dotnet build dotnet/TwitchArchive.sln — zero warnings, zero errors
+dotnet test dotnet/TwitchArchive.Tests/ — all tests green
+docker compose up --build in the dotnet/ folder → app reachable at http://localhost:8080
+Manual: add a test streamer config, enable monitoring, confirm it polls and records a live stream, runs ffmpeg, uploads via rclone
+Resilience manual test: kill network during recording → verify FastReconnect phase kicks in, resumes after connectivity restored
+Decisions
+
+Blazor Server chosen for real-time terminal output without a separate API; no WASM needed
+streamlink for live + TwitchDownloaderCLI for VOD (same split as Python; streamlink gives better live resilience)
+Simple BCrypt password auth (not full Identity — this is a single-user tool)
+RecoveryPolicy as a pure POCO state machine keeps the resilience logic fully unit-testable without async/mocking
+Polly WaitAndRetryForever on HttpClient handles persistent network failure independently of the application-level state machine; they are complementary — Polly handles individual HTTP call retries, RecoveryPolicy handles the overall workflow state
+Chat download service interface is defined in Step 4 but methods are stubbed — adding implementation later requires only filling in DownloaderService without touching any other layer
+Config files remain in the same format/location so the Python and C# versions can share the same config directory

+
+Create (or extend) dotnet/src/TwitchArchive.Web/wwwroot/css/app.css:
+.page: display:flex; height:100vh
+.sidebar: width:220px; flex-shrink:0; background:#1e1e2e; color:#cdd6f4; overflow-y:auto

+Media query @media(max-width:768px): .sidebar.collapsed { display:none }, .topbar { display:flex }, else .topbar { display:none }
+Step G — Full Blazor UI pages (Plan Step 8)
+Goal: implement the missing pages referenced by the NavMenu.
+
+Steps
+
+Dashboard.razor (/) — replace dotnet/src/TwitchArchive.Web/Pages/Index.razor. Display a CSS grid of streamer cards, each showing: username (link to /streamer/{username}), live/offline <span> badge, current RecoveryState text from WorkerManager.GetState(username), last session start from ISessionRepository, Start/Stop buttons. Poll every 10 s via PeriodicTimer in OnInitializedAsync, disposed in IAsyncDisposable.DisposeAsync.
+
+StreamerDetail.razor (/streamer/{username}) — new file. Live status badge, pipeline step bar (Record → Process → Upload using CSS flex row), <ProcessConsole Streamer="@Username" />. Route parameter [Parameter] public string Username.
+
+GlobalConfig.razor (/config/global) — new file. <EditForm> bound to a GlobalConfig loaded via IConfigurationService.LoadGlobal(). On valid submit: await ConfigService.SaveGlobal(model), show a dismissible success alert.
+
+StreamerConfig.razor (/config/{username}) — new file. Per-field nullable override: each field has an <InputCheckbox> "Override" toggle; when unchecked the <InputText> is disabled and shows the global default as placeholder. Save calls SaveStreamer. Delete button removes the config file and navigates to /.
+
+AddStreamer.razor (/config/new) — new file. Two fields: Username (required, lowercase) and Enabled checkbox. On submit: await ConfigService.SaveStreamer(new StreamerConfig { Username, Enabled }), then Nav.NavigateTo($"/config/{model.Username}").
+
+AppSettings.razor (/settings) — new file. Tool-path fields bound to AppSettings. Change-password section: current password (validated against BCrypt hash) + new + confirm fields. On save: update appsettings.json and call IAuthService to refresh the cached hash.
+
+Step H — Authentication (Plan Step 8)
+Goal: single-password BCrypt cookie auth protecting all pages except /login.
+
+Steps
+
+Add <PackageReference Include="BCrypt.Net-Next" Version="4.*" /> to TwitchArchive.Web.csproj.
+Create dotnet/src/TwitchArchive.Web/Services/IAuthService.cs + AuthService.cs — ValidatePassword(string plain) → bool using BCrypt.Net.BCrypt.Verify against AppSettings.PasswordHash. If hash is empty (first-run), any password is accepted.
+Create dotnet/src/TwitchArchive.Web/Pages/Login.razor (/login) — password <InputText type="password"> in an <EditForm>. Posts to /auth/login minimal-API endpoint via form navigation.
+Add minimal API endpoint POST /auth/login in Program.cs — reads password from form body, calls IAuthService.ValidatePassword, calls HttpContext.SignInAsync(CookieAuthenticationDefaults.AuthenticationScheme, ...), redirects to /. On failure, redirects to /login?error=1.
+In Program.cs add builder.Services.AddAuthentication(...).AddCookie(opt => opt.LoginPath = "/login"), app.UseAuthentication(), app.UseAuthorization().
+Update App.razor — replace <RouteView> with <AuthorizeRouteView>, wrap in <CascadingAuthenticationState>. Add @attribute [Authorize] to all pages except Login.razor.
+Step I — Docker (Plan Step 10)
+Steps
+
+Create dotnet/Dockerfile:
+
+Build stage (sdk:10.0): dotnet publish src/TwitchArchive.Web -c Release -o /app/publish
+Runtime stage (aspnet:10.0): apt-get install -y ffmpeg python3-pip rclone, pip3 install streamlink, download TwitchDownloaderCLI linux-x64 binary to /app/bin/ and chmod +x.
+EXPOSE 8080, ENV ASPNETCORE_URLS=http://+:8080, ENTRYPOINT ["dotnet","TwitchArchive.Web.dll"]
+Create dotnet/docker-compose.yml:
+
+Create dotnet/src/TwitchArchive.Core/Config/ToolPathResolver.cs — static helper using RuntimeInformation.IsOSPlatform(OSPlatform.Windows) to resolve default binary paths; used by AppSettings property defaults and RecorderService/ProcessorService.
+
+Step J — Extended unit tests (Plan Step 11)
+Steps
+
+ConfigurationServiceTests.cs — load/save/merge in Path.GetTempPath() temp dir; assert roundtrip and merge precedence.
+TwitchApiClientTests.cs — mock HttpMessageHandler; token caching, GQL stream-status (live + offline), GetLatestVodAsync, network error → null.
+FileManagerServiceTests.cs — InitializeDirectories, GetPaths, GetUniquePath collision suffix on temp dirs.
+RecorderServiceTests.cs — mock IProcessRunner capturing ProcessRunOptions.Arguments; assert --hls-live-restart and resolved quality.
+UploadServiceTests.cs — mock IProcessRunner; assert rclone arguments contain copy --files-from and correct dest; assert temp list file is cleaned up.
+EffectiveConfigTests.cs — all merge-precedence cases: null streamer field → global default; non-null streamer field → override wins.
+SessionRepositoryTests.cs — EF in-memory; AddSessionAsync, GetRecentSessionsAsync, UpdateSessionAsync status change.
+Verification
+Manual checks:
+
+All NavMenu links resolve without 404; active link is highlighted
+Login page blocks unauthenticated access; correct password grants access; wrong password shows error
+Dashboard renders streamer cards; Start/Stop toggles update Recovery State badge
+Global Config saves to global.json; reload confirms persistence
+Add Streamer creates config/streamers/{name}.json and redirects to per-streamer config page
+Sessions page shows rows after a recording completes with expandable job list
+Live Monitor shows real-time ProcessConsole output via SignalR
+Decisions
+NavMenu uses Blazor's built-in NavLink with pure CSS sidebar — no Bootstrap dependency to keep the bundle small
+Config service reads/writes the same config directory as the Python side — both runtimes can share config files without conversion
+EnsureCreated → Migrate() — migrations support future schema changes without data loss
+BCrypt single-password auth over full Identity — this is a single-user self-hosted tool; Identity adds unnecessary overhead
+IRecorderService extracted from StreamWorker — the recording path becomes independently testable without running the full state machine
+Or simply paste the content above into a new file UpgradePlan-Part2.md at the workspace root. Once terminal/file-edit tools are re-enabled, I can write it directly.
