# Development

## Build

```bash
dotnet restore
dotnet build ImmichFolderWatch.sln -c Debug
```

The GUI build generates branding assets automatically from `assets/branding/logo.svg`
into `artifacts/branding/`.

## Test

```bash
dotnet test ImmichFolderWatch.sln -c Debug
```

## Run

```bash
dotnet run --project src/ImmichFolderWatch.Daemon -- --config config.yaml
```

## CI

- `ci.yaml`: cross-platform build + test coverage for the codebase
- `release.yaml`: publish a Windows MSI only after successful CI on `main`, and only when the version tag does not already exist
- `winget.yaml`: submit WinGet package updates for published releases after the initial manual bootstrap has been completed
- `packaging/flatpak/`: placeholder assets for future Flatpak support; there is currently no active Flatpak workflow

## Project Conventions

- Keep user-facing logs in English.
- Keep comments concise and in English.
- Avoid coupling daemon orchestration with HTTP details.
- Keep Core project free of runtime host concerns.
