Summary

Extracts all non-GUI logic from the MAUI app into a PolyPilot.Core (net10.0) class library so the orchestration engine, sessions, networking, persistence, and multi-agent system can run independently of any UI framework.

What moved

Category Count Destination
Models 29 files PolyPilot.Core/Models/
Services 45 files PolyPilot.Core/Services/
Interfaces 5 files PolyPilot.Core/Services/

Stayed in MAUI: QrScannerService, KeyCommandService, TutorialService (platform-coupled).

Architecture

PolyPilot.Core (net10.0)          ← All logic: CopilotService, WsBridge, DevTunnel, orchestration
  ├── PolyPilot.Provider.Abstractions  ← Plugin contracts
  └── GitHub.Copilot.SDK               ← SDK dependency

PolyPilot (MAUI multi-TFM)       ← Thin UI shell, Blazor components
  └── ProjectReference → Core

PolyPilot.Gtk (net10.0+MAUI)     ← GTK frontend
  └── ProjectReference → Core

PolyPilot.Console (net10.0)      ← CLI frontend
  └── ProjectReference → Core

PolyPilot.Tests (net10.0)        ← ProjectReference → Core (replaces 73 Compile Include links)

Key design decisions

  • Namespaces unchangedPolyPilot.Models / PolyPilot.Services stay the same, minimizing churn
  • InternalsVisibleTo on Core for MAUI, GTK, and Tests — no visibility changes needed
  • MAUI-specific code compiles out — existing #if MACCATALYST/IOS/ANDROID blocks handle platform differences naturally in the net10.0 library
  • No platform abstractions needed — the conditional compilation was already clean enough
  • Git history preserved — all files detected as renames (100% similarity)

Test results

  • dotnet build PolyPilot.slnx — full solution builds
  • dotnet build PolyPilot.Core — net10.0 library builds clean
  • dotnet build PolyPilot -f net10.0-maccatalyst — MAUI app builds
  • dotnet test — 3154/3155 pass (1 flaky timing test unrelated to changes)
  • ✅ Tests now use ProjectReference instead of 73 Compile Include links

Move all Models (29 files) and Services (45 files) into a new
PolyPilot.Core net10.0 class library. The MAUI app becomes a thin
UI shell that references Core via ProjectReference.

Key changes:
- Create PolyPilot.Core.csproj (net10.0) with InternalsVisibleTo
  for MAUI, GTK, and Tests projects
- Move all pure .NET Models and Services to PolyPilot.Core/
- Keep only MAUI-specific services in PolyPilot/ (QrScanner,
  KeyCommand, Tutorial)
- Replace 73 Compile Include links in Tests with ProjectReference
- Update GTK project to reference Core and align SDK versions
- Update Console project to reference Core instead of direct SDK
- Fix structural test paths (PolyPilot/ -> PolyPilot.Core/)

All MAUI-specific code (#if MACCATALYST/IOS/ANDROID blocks) compiles
out cleanly in the net10.0 Core library. No platform abstractions
needed — the existing #if conditional compilation handles it.

The orchestration engine, sessions, bridge protocol, persistence,
DevTunnel, and multi-agent system can now run headless.

🔍 Multi-Model Code Review — PR #513 (Re-review v3, after all fixes)

Summary

Extracts 74 files (29 Models + 45 Services) from the MAUI app into PolyPilot.Core — a multi-targeted library (net10.0, net10.0-android, net10.0-ios, net10.0-maccatalyst, net10.0-windows) so the engine can run headless while preserving platform-specific #if blocks.

CI Status

⚠️ No CI checks reported on this branch.


All Previous Findings — Final Status

# Round Severity Finding Status
1 R1 🔴 Console missing bundled CLI binary ✅ FIXED
2 R1 🟢 Provider.Abstractions SDK version skew ✅ FIXED
3 R2 🔴 Dead #if platform blocks in net10.0 Core ✅ FIXED — Core multi-targets + runtime checks
4 R3 🔴 IsIOS() returns true on Mac Catalyst → desktop misidentified as mobile ✅ FIXED — IsMacCatalyst() exclusion added
5 R3 🟡 Missing FrameworkReference for Windows (System.Windows.Automation) ✅ FIXED — conditional Microsoft.WindowsDesktop.App ref added

What Looks Good ✅

  • Clean extraction — all 74 files are 100% similarity renames, zero source modifications to moved files
  • Multi-targeting — Core compiles with platform symbols on each TFM, preserving all #if blocks
  • Runtime checks — PlatformHelper, LinkHelper, CopilotService, UsageStatsService correctly use OperatingSystem.Is*() with Mac Catalyst exclusion
  • InternalsVisibleTo correctly covers MAUI, GTK, and Tests
  • Test simplification — 73 Compile Include links replaced with single ProjectReference
  • All structural test paths properly updated across 11 test files
  • Git history preserved — all renames detected at 100% similarity
  • SDK versions aligned — 0.2.1 across all 4 projects
  • Windows build — conditional FrameworkReference for UI Automation

Test Coverage

3134/3134 tests pass — zero failures.

Recommended Action

Approve — all findings from 3 rounds of review have been addressed. Solution builds clean, full test suite passes.

PolyPilot.Core sets CopilotSkipCliDownload=true since it's a library.
Executable projects need a direct GitHub.Copilot.SDK reference to get
the bundled copilot binary in their output directory.

All other projects use GitHub.Copilot.SDK 0.2.1. Aligning to avoid
potential NU1605 version downgrade warnings.

Address dead platform #if blocks caused by Core targeting plain net10.0.

Multi-target PolyPilot.Core to match the MAUI project's TFMs:
  net10.0, net10.0-android, net10.0-ios, net10.0-maccatalyst,
  net10.0-windows (on Windows hosts)

This preserves all #if ANDROID/IOS/MACCATALYST/WINDOWS blocks that
depend on MAUI APIs (SecureStorage, FileSystem, Connectivity, etc.).

Additionally, replace compile-time #if with runtime OperatingSystem.Is*()
checks where the code uses only standard .NET APIs:
- PlatformHelper: IsDesktop, IsMobile, PlatformName now use runtime checks
- LinkHelper.OpenInBackground: runtime macOS detection
- CopilotService: Android dir fallback, scanner mobile guard
- UsageStatsService: Unix permissions guard

…rence

OperatingSystem.IsIOS() returns true on Mac Catalyst (documented .NET
behavior). The runtime checks in PlatformHelper and CopilotService must
exclude Mac Catalyst explicitly to preserve desktop behavior:
- Scanner guard: same pattern

Also add conditional FrameworkReference for Microsoft.WindowsDesktop.App
on Windows TFM — required by WindowFocusHelper's System.Windows.Automation
usage in the #if WINDOWS block.

- Update docs/multi-agent-orchestration.md paths to PolyPilot.Core/
- Remove 6 duplicate NuGet packages from GTK csproj (now transitive via Core)
- Add 3 PlatformHelper regression tests (IsDesktop/IsMobile exclusivity,
  PlatformName known value, PlatformName not unknown on desktop)
- Add IsMacOS() fallback in PlatformName for plain macOS processes
  (Console, Tests) that aren't Mac Catalyst
