Native C# desktop entry point for the ArcForges instrument acquisition and analysis product. This bootstrap provides a working Hello screen connected to the deployed Cloud Native AOT service at https://arcforges.com/api.
The application starts offline. Enter a name and select Say hello to send one binary gRPC-Web request through the published Contracts client. Progress, cancellation and failures are visible; retry is an explicit user action. Names retain whitespace and Unicode, with a 1–256 UTF-16 unit limit. Authentication and product-specific workflows are not implemented in this bootstrap.
Install .NET SDK 10.0.401 and the native build prerequisites in development. The solution uses C# 14, Avalonia 12.1.2, exact central NuGet versions and per-project lock files. No Node, Python, CMake or neighboring source checkout is required.
dotnet restore ArcScope.slnx --locked-mode
dotnet build ArcScope.slnx -c Release --no-restore
dotnet test --project tests/ArcForges.ArcScope.Tests/ArcForges.ArcScope.Tests.csproj -c Release --no-build --filter-not-class '*.TransportTests'
dotnet run --project src/ArcForges.ArcScope
dotnet run --project eng/ArcForges.Repository -- hooksThe UI, application state and repository tool are C#. Avalonia/Skia supply packaged native UI/rendering dependencies. The application consumes ArcForges.Contracts.PublicApi 1.0.0-ci.36.1 and the private build-time ArcForges.Build.Policy 1.0.0-ci.20.1. It does not ship unused DesktopPlatform media engines.
Each successful main push publishes a prerelease v0.1.0-ci.<run>.<attempt> to GitHub Releases. PRs compile the same three Windows/Linux Native AOT targets and run offline checks but never publish a release:
| Platform | Archive |
|---|---|
| Windows x64 / ARM64 | Portable ZIP; extract everything and run ArcScope.exe |
| Linux x64 | Portable tar.gz; extract everything and run ./ArcScope in an X11/XWayland desktop |
Keep all files together. These self-contained builds do not require a .NET installation. They are development distributions: Windows binaries are unsigned. Automated releases do not contain macOS builds; local macOS source support remains available without CI or release claims. No installer, app-store identity or OS trust claim is included. Linux system libraries are listed in development. Source for a release is its exact Git tag/commit.
CI performs compilation, packaging, offline unit/static checks and security scanning. It does not launch packaged applications, native UI or live Cloud requests. Runtime smoke is an explicit local-only command when needed; no post-publication asset download or runtime cycle is required. See release mechanics and the validation policy.
The repository check enforces the project licence boundary for the application, core library, tests and C# tooling. Every build also checks the effective MSBuild declarations and local project references.
Source provenance is checked by the same C# tool. Portable release verification also checks the actual archived notices and source receipt.
Read CONTRIBUTING, security reporting and the code of conduct. ArcScope remains AGPL-3.0-only; see LICENSE and third-party notices.
Offline support metadata is available through --build-info --evidence <path.json>. See build identity. Its implementation adapts ArcNotes 0c797e3 under AGPL-3.0-only; the full corresponding source and reviewed origin records are retained at this release’s Git commit.
The dependency admission gate checks the complete locked closure and upgrade evidence. It adapts ArcNotes source under AGPL-3.0-only; full source and attribution remain in the immutable provenance records.
