@copilot Configinfo is under the namespace GeneralUpdate.Common.Shared.Object.Configinfo and does not need to be defined additionally. |

You're correct. I've removed the custom ConfigInfo class and updated the code to use the existing Changes made in commit de5b0b2:

@copilot Are the files created by CreateConfigInfoFile packaged together into the zip file? |
Yes, the config.json file created by Flow:
The config.json is written to the PatchDirectory before compression (line 351), so it's automatically included when the entire directory is compressed into the final zip package. |

Pull request overview
This PR implements configuration extraction from .csproj files and packages the configuration as JSON in update files. It introduces a three-tiered field classification system (Required, Optional, Auto-generated) with appropriate validation and UI organization. The changes enable automatic detection of project metadata (MainAppName, ClientVersion) from .csproj files, validates user inputs for required URLs and directories, and creates a config.json file that's packaged into the final update zip.
Changes:
- Added CsprojReader utility class to extract MainAppName and ClientVersion from .csproj files with cross-platform executable detection
- Extended PacketConfigModel with 5 new fields (ReportUrl, UpdateUrl, AppName, MainAppName, ClientVersion) following existing property patterns
- Implemented validation logic for required fields and automatic population of read-only fields in the build pipeline
- Reorganized UI into three visually distinct sections (Required/Optional/Auto-generated) with appropriate field accessibility controls

The configInfoPath variable is assigned but never used. The CreateConfigInfoFile method returns the file path, but this return value is not utilized anywhere in the build process. Either remove the return value from the method signature and the local variable, or use the path for logging/verification purposes to confirm the config file was created successfully.

The validation checks for required fields but doesn't verify that the directories actually exist. Users could enter invalid paths for UpdateUrl and ReportUrl (which aren't validated as URLs), or non-existent directory paths for AppDirectory, ReleaseDirectory, and PatchDirectory. Consider adding Directory.Exists checks for directory paths and URL format validation for the URL fields to provide better user feedback before the build process starts.

The ReadProjectConfiguration method silently catches and logs all exceptions but doesn't inform the user that the auto-generation failed. If .csproj reading fails, the auto-generated fields (MainAppName, ClientVersion, AppName) will remain empty, and the build will proceed with incomplete configuration. Consider either showing a warning message to the user when this fails, or making this a critical validation step that prevents the build from continuing.

Potential null reference exception if PatchDirectory has no parent directory. The code accesses directoryInfo.Parent!.FullName with the null-forgiving operator without first checking if Parent is actually null. If PatchDirectory is a root directory (e.g., "C:" on Windows or "/" on Unix), this will throw a NullReferenceException. Consider adding a null check before accessing Parent.FullName or handling the edge case where PatchDirectory is at the root level.

AppName is only populated when MainAppName is not empty, but according to the UI organization, AppName is listed as an auto-generated field that should always have a value. If MainAppName is empty (e.g., when OutputType is not WinExe/Exe), AppName will remain empty. Consider clarifying whether AppName should have a default value or fallback logic, or if it should only be visible when MainAppName has a value. This could confuse users who see an empty auto-generated field.

| if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(ConfigModel.MainAppName)) | |
| { | |
| ConfigModel.AppName = ConfigModel.MainAppName; | |

According to the issue requirements, OutputPath should be read from the .csproj file and assigned to the release directory. However, ReleaseDirectory is currently marked as a required user input field in the UI, and the ReadOutputPath method (which exists in CsprojReader) is never called. This creates a discrepancy between the requirements and the implementation. Consider clarifying whether ReleaseDirectory should remain a required user input or if it should be auto-populated from the .csproj OutputPath tag.

The recursive file search using SearchOption.AllDirectories could be slow for large directory trees. While the comment acknowledges this is acceptable for "typically small" release directories, there's no safeguard against accidentally pointing to a large directory tree (e.g., an entire drive root). Consider adding a depth limit or file count threshold with a warning message to prevent performance issues when users accidentally select large directories.

The ReadOutputPath method is implemented but never called in the codebase. According to the issue requirements, OutputPath should be read and assigned to the release directory. However, this functionality appears incomplete - the method exists but is not integrated into the build pipeline in PacketViewModel. Consider either removing this unused method or integrating it into the ReadProjectConfiguration method if it's needed for future functionality.

The cross-platform executable detection for Unix systems doesn't verify actual file permissions. On Unix systems, just checking for a filename match doesn't guarantee the file is executable. Consider checking file permissions using UnixFileMode (available in .NET 7+) or by attempting to read file attributes to ensure the file is truly an executable. This could lead to incorrectly identifying non-executable files as the main application.
Packet building now extracts project metadata from .csproj files and generates a configuration JSON that's packaged with the update. Required fields (UpdateUrl, ReportUrl, directories) are validated; auto-generated fields (AppName, MainAppName, ClientVersion, PacketName, Format, Encoding) are derived from project files and made read-only in the UI.
