Architecture

Current State

• GregModmanager is the existing MAUI-based desktop application.
• GregModmanager.Avalonia is the new cross-platform UI foundation.

Target Architecture

• UI Layer: Avalonia (GregModmanager.Avalonia) with custom chrome and design-system styles.
• Domain Layer: Shared services for Steam integration, auth/session, project metadata.
• Infrastructure Layer: Packaging scripts and CI pipelines for Windows/Linux distribution.

Migration Strategy

1. Keep MAUI app functional while introducing Avalonia in parallel.
2. Move reusable business logic from MAUI-only concerns into shared services.
3. Replace page-by-page UI workflows in Avalonia.
4. Transition packaging and release channels to multi-platform outputs.

Design Constraints

• Compact information density for usability.
• Keyboard-first interaction patterns.
• Strict Steam publish cooldown enforcement.
• Fully custom window chrome to avoid duplicate title bars.
