The product wordmark is rendered uppercase everywhere in the UI
(PROSERVE in Pirulen). Align the install directory naming so it reads
"PROSERVE v1.4.7" instead of "Proserve v1.4.7" — same brand, same case
on disk and in dialog titles.
Changes:
- server/manifest/versions.json: installFolderTemplate updated for both
existing entries.
- server/admin/versions.php: default template for new versions added
via the backoffice form.
- src/PSLauncher.Models/RemoteManifest.cs: default fallback for the
property when missing from JSON.
- src/PSLauncher.App/Views/MainWindow.xaml + dialogs + ViewModel
toasts: UI strings now read "PROSERVE v..." consistent with the brand.
InstallationRegistry's regex was already RegexOptions.IgnoreCase, so
existing user installs in "Proserve v..." folders keep working
(case-insensitive on Windows filesystems anyway). Re-installing an
older version after the change re-creates the folder with the new
case — Windows is case-preserving but case-insensitive, so launching
remains identical.

After clicking Lancer, the launcher minimizes to the taskbar so Proserve
has the foreground. Add an Exited event handler on the launched Process
that brings the launcher back from the taskbar once the game closes.
EnableRaisingEvents is required (false by default) to receive Exited.
The handler runs on a worker thread so we marshal back to the UI via
Dispatcher.Invoke before touching WindowState. A brief Topmost=true /
false toggle nudges the window to the foreground without permanently
locking it on top.
Wrapped in try/catch — some ShellExecute spawns return a Process with
limited access (no event support), in which case we just log and let
the user click the taskbar icon manually.

Single-instance
---------------
Two PSLauncher.exe instances ran in parallel during the user's last
release build, locking the repo-root copy and breaking the publish.
Two-layer protection:
1. App.xaml.cs uses a Global\ named Mutex (UUID-based key) created at
OnStartup. If the mutex is already held, the second instance
PostMessages a registered Windows message (PSLAUNCHER_BRING_TO_FRONT)
to HWND_BROADCAST and Shutdown()s immediately.
2. MainWindow hooks WndProc via SourceInitialized + HwndSource.AddHook;
when it sees the broadcast, it restores from minimized, calls
ShowWindow(SW_RESTORE) + Activate() + SetForegroundWindow so the
already-running instance pops to the user's foreground.
Net result: clicking the launcher icon a second time pops the existing
window instead of starting a duplicate process.
Tolerant build pipeline
-----------------------
- Both csproj post-publish copy targets now have
ContinueOnError="WarnAndContinue". A locked PSLauncher.exe at the
repo root no longer fails the entire publish — the binary still
exists in bin\Release\...\publish\ and the user gets a warning
instead of an error.
- All four .bat scripts (build-launcher / build-updater / build-all /
build-installer) now run `taskkill /F /IM PSLauncher.exe /T` and the
same for PSLauncher.Updater.exe before the publish step. This
defensively closes any stray instance left behind by previous tests
so the build pipeline is clean.

Brand mark
----------
Resources/logo-asterion-white.png embedded as a WPF Resource. Placed
in the top-bar StackPanel before the PROSERVE Pirulen wordmark, at
36px height, with HighQuality bitmap scaling and SnapsToDevicePixels
to keep the white logo crisp against the dark chrome.
Minimize on launch
------------------
Once a Proserve version is started via _processLauncher.Launch(),
the MainWindow drops to WindowState.Minimized so it doesn't sit on
top of the game. The launcher stays running (so the user can come
back to install / switch / see the badge license), just out of the way.

Two related issues with the background bitmap:
1. The footer (download progress bar) appeared on top of the image,
cropping the bottom strip — including the ASTERION VR mark in the
bottom-right corner of Background.png.
2. UniformToFill scales-and-crops to maintain aspect ratio, but with
the previous setup the crop was centered, so resizing the window
wider/narrower silently pushed the bottom-right logo off-screen.
Fix:
- The bitmap now lives in a Rectangle restricted to Grid.Row="1"
(body only). When the footer appears at Row 2, it sits below the
body without overlapping the image.
- Switch from <Image Stretch="UniformToFill"> to
<Rectangle><Fill><ImageBrush AlignmentX="Right" AlignmentY="Bottom"
Stretch="UniformToFill" /></Fill></Rectangle>. The crop now
happens on the LEFT and TOP edges, keeping the logo's corner pinned
to the bottom-right and visible regardless of window proportions.

The min/max button hover was set to #FFFFFF22, intended as "white at
13% alpha". WPF Color literals are AARRGGBB though, not RRGGBBAA, so
that's actually opaque red+green+a-touch-of-blue → yellow-ish white,
unreadable on the dark chrome.
Switch to Brush.Accent (#3B82F6) on hover with white foreground,
matching the close button red on hover (#E81123) — both controls now
have clear, distinct hover states.

Previous default fell back to %UserProfile%\ASTERION_VR which is
fine for dev but unconventional for end users; the standard
deployment path is plainly C:\ASTERION_VR. New first-launch behavior:
1. If a sibling ASTERION_VR exists next to the exe (portable / dev
layout), prefer it — keeps the development workflow intact.
2. Otherwise, default to C:\ASTERION_VR. The folder is created on
the first install (Directory.CreateDirectory in ZipInstaller
handles non-existent parents).
Existing users with an explicit installRoot in their config.json are
unaffected — only fresh configs (or empty installRoot) hit this path.

build-launcher.bat: publishes PSLauncher.App only (Release single-file).
build-updater.bat: publishes PSLauncher.Updater only.
build-all.bat: both, sequentially, fast-fail on the first error.
All three pause at the end so a double-click from Explorer shows the
result before the window closes. The existing build-installer.bat
(launcher + updater + Inno Setup .exe) stays as the full release
pipeline.

Apache FastCGI on OVH mutualisé strips Authorization headers before
PHP sees them. The mod_rewrite [E=HTTP_AUTHORIZATION:%1] workaround
in .htaccess does not survive on this hosting profile (probably
because rewrite runs after the FastCGI handler accepts the request).
The endpoint already accepts ?key= as a fallback path, so use that
from the client. HTTPS still protects the key on the wire and the
launcher never logs URLs containing the key.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
OVH mutualisé serves PHP via FastCGI which strips the Authorization
header by default for security. The user's curl test of GET
/api/download-url/{ver} returned 401 even with -H "Authorization:
Bearer <key>" because $_SERVER['HTTP_AUTHORIZATION'] was empty server-side.
Fix on two layers:
1. .htaccess at root re-injects the header into the Apache env so PHP
can read it via the standard $_SERVER variable. The mod_rewrite
one-liner `RewriteRule ^ - [E=HTTP_AUTHORIZATION:%1]` is the de-
facto FastCGI workaround.
2. DownloadUrl.php now reads from any of: $_SERVER['HTTP_AUTHORIZATION'],
$_SERVER['REDIRECT_HTTP_AUTHORIZATION'] (passthrough variant),
apache_request_headers(), getallheaders(). Belt and braces — works
regardless of host config. Falls back to ?key= as before.

`usort($manifest['versions'] ?? [], ...)` worked in PHP 7 but is a
fatal error in PHP 8 — usort requires its first arg by reference and
the null-coalesce operator produces an rvalue, not a variable. The
existing versions.php didn't trigger it because it sorts
$manifest['versions'] directly. Fixed launcher.php to guard with an
isset/is_array check and only sort when there's actually a versions
array.
Triggered by clicking "Définir" in the new Launcher page → 500 page.

The auto-update test was looping: the manifest declared launcher
v0.6.0 but the binary uploaded as PSLauncher-0.6.0.exe was still
internally v0.5.0 (same file, just renamed). After swap, the new
launcher's AssemblyVersion still reported 0.5.0, the manifest still
advertised 0.6.0, and the prompt fired on every restart.
Bump <Version> / <AssemblyVersion> / <FileVersion> to 0.6.0 so the
freshly published PSLauncher.exe genuinely identifies as 0.6.0. After
the swap, IsNewerThanCurrent will return false and the prompt will
stop reappearing.

The updater was a black box on failure (no console window, errors went
to a discarded stderr). When the user reported "launcher closes but
doesn't relaunch" there was nothing to inspect.
Add a log sink at %LocalAppData%/PSLauncher/logs/updater.log with
simple 256 KiB rotation. Every step (args parsed, PID wait, target
unlock, backup, copy, zone-strip, relaunch) writes a timestamped
line, plus the FATAL stack trace on uncaught exceptions.
Also strip the file's :Zone.Identifier ADS after copy. Internet-
downloaded exes carry this Mark-of-the-Web stream and Windows can
silently refuse to launch them via explorer.exe with no visible
error.
Relaunch becomes two-tier: try `explorer.exe "<target>"` for
de-elevation; if that fails or nothing spawns, fall back to direct
Process.Start with UseShellExecute=true. Better to inherit admin
than not relaunch at all.
ParseArgs strips surrounding quotes from --target/--source values
since the launcher now wraps paths in quotes (necessary for
UseShellExecute=true).

Last commit accidentally captured two large binaries that landed in the
working tree during the self-update test prep:
- PSLauncher-0.6.0.exe at repo root
- installer/output/PSLauncher-Setup-0.5.0.exe
Neither belongs in version control. Add /PSLauncher-*.exe and
/installer/output/ to .gitignore and `git rm --cached` the existing
entries so the next push doesn't reupload them.

Three coordinated changes so the auto-update flow works on every
existing install location.
LauncherSelfUpdater.cs
----------------------
- Probe the target directory with a write/delete of a temp file. If
it fails (e.g. install in Program Files without admin), set
UseShellExecute=true + Verb=runas on the Updater process so UAC
prompts the user once for elevation. If the directory is writable
(user-mode install or portable layout), skip elevation entirely.
- Switched from ProcessStartInfo.ArgumentList to a quoted Arguments
string because Verb=runas requires UseShellExecute=true, which
ignores ArgumentList. Paths get explicit quotes to survive spaces.
Updater Program.cs
------------------
After the file swap, the relaunch was a direct Process.Start(target).
With UAC elevation that propagates admin to the new launcher, then to
its child PROSERVE_UE_5_5.exe — undesirable. Replace with
`explorer.exe "<target>"`: explorer is always running in the user's
normal token, opens the exe via shell, the new process inherits the
non-elevated session. Standard de-elevation trick.
installer/PSLauncher.iss
------------------------
Switch from system-wide install (Program Files, requires admin) to
per-user (DefaultDirName={localappdata}\Programs\..., PrivilegesRequired=
lowest). Auto-update then never needs UAC at all on fresh installs.
Existing installs in Program Files keep working thanks to the runas
fallback above.

The launcher and the game versions are different release cadences
managed by the same operator. Mixing them on one page muddied the
workflow. Split them into two top-level nav entries.
SignManifest::run(string $scope)
--------------------------------
- 'all' (default, used by CLI tools/sign-manifest.php) — unchanged.
- 'versions' — only re-hashes the Proserve ZIPs and bumps `latest`.
- 'launcher' — only re-hashes the launcher EXE.
The Ed25519 sign step always runs at the end so the manifest stays
verifiable. Selectively hashing avoids unrelated noise (e.g. mass-hash
14 GB ZIPs when all you wanted was to update the launcher exe).
admin/launcher.php (new page)
-----------------------------
Self-contained page with the launcher state, Set/Remove forms, the
blue "🔁 Hasher le launcher + signer" button, and a list of the .exe
files present in builds/launcher/. Workflow doc inline.
admin/versions.php
------------------
Cleaned up: launcher card and its set_launcher / remove_launcher /
sync_launcher actions removed. The remaining global Sync button is
relabeled and now triggers scope='versions' (only Proserve ZIPs).
Layout::navHtml gains a "Launcher" item between Versions and Audit.

Reverting the previous addition. The blue "🔁 Recalculer hash + signer"
button on the launcher card called the same 'sync' action as the
global one in the manifest table — same code path, same effect. Two
identical buttons created confusion. The workflow text now points
operators to the existing global Sync button below, and only the
launcher-specific actions (Définir / Retirer) live on the launcher
card.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Operator setting up auto-update was forced to scroll down to the
"Manifest actuel" card and find the global Sync button after each step
of the launcher workflow. Add a dedicated "🔁 Recalculer hash + signer"
primary-blue button right inside the launcher card. It posts the same
action='sync' so behavior is identical — it's just discoverable from
where the operator is looking.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
The previous markup had a <form action=remove_launcher> nested inside a
<form action=set_launcher>. HTML doesn't allow nested forms — browsers
flatten the structure unpredictably, and clicking the inner "Définir"
submit could end up posting the outer (or vice versa), causing the
section to be removed when the user actually wanted to set it.
Two sibling forms now, with a 12px gap between them. Same UX.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Two things change so the operator never has to SSH for a launcher
release.
1. SignManifest::run() now also re-hashes the manifest's `launcher`
section. It looks for builds/launcher/<basename of launcher.url>;
falls back to a tolerant glob *<version>*.exe if the exact name
isn't found. Updates sizeBytes + sha256 in place. The Ed25519 sign
step at the end already covered this branch — it was just blank
data before.
2. admin/versions.php has a new "Auto-update du launcher" card above
the manifest table. Shows the announced version + minRequired, the
exe presence badge and the hash status, and a small form to set or
update the launcher entry (version + minRequired only — URL is
derived from base_url + version automatically). A "Retirer la
section" button disables the auto-update by deleting the launcher
key from versions.json. Lists the .exe files present in
builds/launcher/ for visibility.
Workflow now: edit the version in the form → SFTP-upload
PSLauncher-X.Y.Z.exe to builds/launcher/ → click "🔁 Sync" once →
manifest is hashed and signed.

The value x64compatible was added in Inno Setup 6.3 — earlier 6.x
versions reject it with "Value of [Setup] section directive
ArchitecturesAllowed is invalid". Using plain x64 keeps compatibility
with the whole 6.x line. Modern users on 6.3+ are still happy since
x64 still resolves correctly there.

Wraps installer/build-installer.ps1 with -NoProfile and -ExecutionPolicy
Bypass so a double-click works without PowerShell config tweaks. Pauses
at the end so the user sees the ISCC output even when launched from
Explorer. Forwards %* for `-ISCC <path>` overrides.

The check-updates button was anchored inside the footer band, which
felt heavy and obscured the background bitmap. Move it to a floating
position: bottom-left of the body, 32px from the left edge, 24px above
where the footer would render. The button now sits directly over the
ASTERION VR background art, giving the chrome a lighter look.
The footer goes back to its original behavior — visible only when busy
or when there's a status message — instead of being permanently shown
just to host the check button.
Implementation: wrap the body's ScrollViewer in a single-cell Grid so
a sibling Button with HorizontalAlignment=Left, VerticalAlignment=
Bottom can overlay it without interfering with the version cards or
the scroll behavior.

After every `dotnet publish -c Release`, the single-file binaries land
in C:\ASTERION\GIT\PS_Launcher\ next to PS_Launcher.sln so they can be
launched directly without digging into bin/Release/.../publish/.
Implemented as an MSBuild AfterTargets="Publish" target on each csproj
(PSLauncher.App, PSLauncher.Updater) using $(MSBuildThisFileDirectory)
to resolve the repo root portably. Condition='Release' so debug builds
don't pollute the root.
.gitignore covers /PSLauncher.exe and /PSLauncher.Updater.exe so the
committed tree stays clean.

Three deliverables shipped together so the next deployment cycle has a
clean distribution story.
(1) Auto-update of the launcher itself
---------------------------------------
- Models: RemoteManifest gains an optional `launcher` section
(LauncherInfo: version, minRequired, download {url,size,sha256},
releaseNotesUrl). Server-side, sign-manifest.php passes it through
unchanged; admins edit versions.json with the new launcher entry +
upload PSLauncher-X.Y.Z.exe to /builds/launcher/.
- Core: ILauncherSelfUpdater compares assembly version against
manifest.launcher.version using the existing SemVer parser, and
reuses DownloadManager (Range/resume/sha256 already proven on the
game ZIPs) to download the new exe into
%LocalAppData%/PSLauncher/selfupdate/.
- New project PSLauncher.Updater (~34 MB self-contained console exe):
spawned by the main app with --target / --source / --pid / --launch.
Waits for the main process to exit (or for the file lock to release),
backs up the current exe to .bak, copies the new file in place, and
restarts. .bak survives the swap so the user can roll back manually.
- App.csproj now declares Version=0.5.0 — currently shipped baseline.
PSLauncher.App.csproj sets a fixed AssemblyVersion so reflection-based
comparison works deterministically.
- MainViewModel.PromptLauncherUpdate: dialog after CheckForUpdates if
the manifest advertises a newer launcher. Download with progress in
the existing footer, then Application.Shutdown() so the Updater can
do its job.
(2) Inno Setup installer
------------------------
installer/PSLauncher.iss + build-installer.ps1 produce a single
PSLauncher-Setup-X.Y.Z.exe (~80 MB) that installs into
Program Files\ASTERION VR\PSLauncher\, drops both PSLauncher.exe and
PSLauncher.Updater.exe side by side (the updater MUST live next to
the target), creates Start Menu + optional Desktop shortcuts, and
registers a clean uninstall entry. The user's %LocalAppData%
(license, logs, cache) is intentionally untouched on uninstall — same
license survives a reinstall.
build-installer.ps1 chains dotnet publish for both projects and ISCC
in one command. README explains the bump-version workflow.
(3) HMAC-signed download URLs
-----------------------------
- New PHP route GET /api/download-url/{version} (Authorization: Bearer
<licenseKey> or ?key=...). Validates the license, checks
download_entitlement_until >= minLicenseDate of the version, and
returns a HMAC-signed URL (path|exp|licId, hash_hmac SHA-256, valid
1 h) + sha256 + sizeBytes for verification.
- /builds/.htaccess routes every *.zip request to gate.php. gate.php
validates exp, lic, sig (constant-time hash_equals), then streams
the file with Range: support so the launcher's resume keeps working.
Audit log gets a download_url_issued entry per request.
- Client-side wired transparently: LicenseService gains
GetSignedDownloadUrlAsync(version) that GETs the endpoint with the
decrypted license key from DPAPI. MainViewModel calls it before
every download; if the endpoint returns 404/401/network-error, the
client falls back to the manifest's plain download.url (graceful
degradation for setups that haven't deployed gate.php yet).
Note on PHP streaming for 14 GB ZIPs: gate.php uses set_time_limit(0)
+ ignore_user_abort(true) + 1 MiB chunked fread with periodic flush.
Works on OVH mutualisé but holds a PHP-FPM slot for the duration. If
parallel downloads scale past a few clients, switch to
mod_xsendfile or migrate /builds/ to Cloudflare R2 with native
S3-presigned URLs and remove the gate entirely.

Top bar (3-column layout)
-------------------------
- Col 1: PROSERVE Launcher wordmark.
- Col 2: license badge centered, the badge IS the click target now (a
Border with an InputBindings MouseBinding LeftClick to OpenLicense).
No more separate "🔑 Activer / changer" button cluttering the right.
- Col 3: ⚙ Paramètres + window chrome (min/max/close).
- "📁 Dossier" button removed from the top bar — install root is still
reachable from Settings.
Footer (always visible)
-----------------------
- Row 1: "🔄 Vérifier les MAJ" pinned bottom-left, always shown. The
optional "Annuler" button stays bottom-right while a download runs.
- Row 2: status text + progress bar, only shown when busy or after a
status message — the previous "footer entirely hidden when idle"
hid the check button too.
License flow split in two
-------------------------
Click on the license badge:
- License is active (valid / expired / revoked) → LicenseDetailsDialog
opens. Header pill in matching status color (green/amber/red), shows
owner, validity, issued date, machine ID with copy-to-clipboard. Two
buttons: "🗑 Désactiver la license" (with confirmation) and Close.
- No license OR after deactivation → falls through to the existing
OnboardingDialog for re-keying.
Settings rework
---------------
LICENSE section is now first in SettingsDialog with the same
green/amber/red colored chrome as the top bar — at a glance the user
sees the same status everywhere. Machine ID copy moved into this card.
Sign-manifest no longer needs exec()
------------------------------------
The "🔁 Sync" button in admin/versions.php previously shelled out to
`php tools/sign-manifest.php` via exec(). OVH mutualisé often disables
exec(), causing silent no-ops and the symptom the user just hit: the
ZIP changed (new size 469,657,770 vs manifest's stale 469,831,428) and
the launcher rejected it as size mismatch.
Refactor:
- New PSLauncher\Tools\SignManifest class with ->run() that does the
hashing, latest-bump and Ed25519 signing in-process.
- tools/sign-manifest.php is now a 6-line wrapper for the class.
- admin/versions.php's 'sync' action calls the class directly via
require_once + new — works on any host, no exec dependency.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Window
------
- Default size 1280x720 (16:9 widescreen — matches the screenshot framing
the user requested), MinWidth=980 MinHeight=600.
- WindowStyle=None + ResizeMode=CanResize: drop the OS title bar but
keep edge resize.
- WindowChrome: CaptionHeight=56 makes the top bar Border the
drag-handle for moving the window. ResizeBorderThickness=6 gives
6px of grab area on each edge, GlassFrameThickness=0 disables Aero.
Custom chrome buttons
---------------------
Three new style keys in Theme.xaml:
- WindowControlButton: 46x32 transparent button, hovers at #FFFFFF22
(semi-translucent white) — used for minimize and maximize/restore.
- WindowCloseButton: same shape, hovers at #E81123 (Win11 red).
Three handlers wired up: OnMinimizeClick, OnMaxRestoreClick, OnCloseClick.
Caption click-through
---------------------
WindowChrome reserves the caption area for window dragging by default —
buttons inside it would otherwise feel "dead". Each interactive control
in the top bar (Vérifier les MAJ / Dossier / License pill / Activer /
Paramètres / min / max / close) gets
shell:WindowChrome.IsHitTestVisibleInChrome="True" so clicks reach the
button instead of starting a drag. The text/logo region remains
draggable.

The implicit Window style in Theme.xaml WAS being applied, but defensive
coding wins: when MainWindow.Background was unset, WPF's intermediate
composition surface for elements with Opacity<1 (the Image) blended
against whatever the parent presented. In some Windows render paths
that's effectively the system white. Setting Window.Background="Black"
AND Grid.Background="Black" pins the surface under the image to pure
black explicitly, no system theme involvement.
Also drop the previous "darken overlay" Rectangle — once the surface
under the image is genuinely black, the image at 0.25 opacity is
already where we want it, no second dimming layer needed.
Launcher subtitle: FontWeight Light → Bold so it competes equally with
PROSERVE in the Pirulen wordmark.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
The background image was too dominant at 50% opacity over a black
window — bright spots of the engraved logo flooded the body and made
the chrome look milky. Reduce image opacity to 0.18 and add a 35%
black rectangle on top, dimming the image to roughly 12% effective
brightness while keeping the texture readable.
"Launcher" wordmark next to PROSERVE was barely visible (14pt, secondary
grey). Now 20pt, FontWeight Light, primary white — sits naturally
beside PROSERVE without competing.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Window background
-----------------
Brush.Bg.Window is now pure #000000 (was a slightly blue-tinted dark).
The previous tint added value to the bitmap overlay, washing out the
image's bright spots. With pure black behind, the 50% overlay sits
cleanly on top.
Cards / sidebar / footer keep a faint blue tint (#161B23, #0E1218,
#050709) so the chrome reads as cool/dark while the body shows the
hardware texture clearly through the gaps.
Background image
----------------
Resources/Background.png (the engraved ASTERION VR wordmark on dark
metal) is now an embedded WPF Resource on the App project. MainWindow
draws it as the first child of the root grid, RowSpan=3, Stretch=
UniformToFill, Opacity=0.5, IsHitTestVisible=False so it never steals
clicks. It shows behind the body's empty regions; the cards' solid
backgrounds cover it where readability matters.
Pirulen wordmark
----------------
Resources/pirulen.otf (the user-supplied OpenType font) is embedded as
a Resource and exposed via Theme.xaml's Font.Brand FontFamily resource
using the standard pack URI form (#Pirulen). The top bar replaces the
plain "PROSERVE Launcher" with a horizontal stack: PROSERVE in 22pt
Pirulen + a smaller "Launcher" label in secondary text. The brand
typeface is reusable elsewhere via {StaticResource Font.Brand}.

The license info was rendered as plain secondary-grey text, easy to
miss. Now it's a rounded pill (CornerRadius=14) with traffic-light
colors driven by the new MainViewModel.LicenseSeverity property:
- Ok → green pill (Brush.Status.Installed) with ✓ icon
- Warning → amber pill (Brush.Status.Busy) with ⏰ icon, fires when
entitlement is < 30 days away from expiry
- Error → red pill (#EF4444 / #2A1414 bg) with 🔒/⚠/🚫 icon
depending on whether license is missing, expired, revoked
Two new VM properties accompany LicenseSummary:
- LicenseIcon: emoji glyph for the pill
- LicenseSeverity: enum-like string Ok/Warning/Error driving DataTriggers
Both are kept in sync via NotifyLicenseChanged(), called wherever
_license used to trigger only OnPropertyChanged(LicenseSummary).

property like LauncherVersion, the binding system tries to install a
back-channel writer at AttachToContext time, fails, and crashes the
whole window during ShowDialog().
Fix: explicit Mode=OneWay on the affected <Run>. The other read-only
view-model properties used in this dialog (MachineId, LogsDirectory,
CacheDirectory, LicenseInfo) are bound through TextBlock.Text and are
unaffected.
For posterity: serilog file sink + AppDomain.UnhandledException hook
captured the failure with the full stack — exactly the diagnostic flow
v0.5 was meant to enable.

The white strip on the left of the context menu wasn't from MenuItem
itself — it was the ContextMenu's default template that draws an icon
column on the left of its popup chrome. Retemplating MenuItem alone
left that column visible. Now the ContextMenu template is also reduced
to a single Border + IsItemsHost StackPanel — no icon column at all.
The MenuItem hover was barely visible (#2C2C32 vs Brush.Bg.Card #26262B).
Now hover paints the row in Brush.Accent (#3B82F6 vivid blue) with white
foreground — clearly readable.
HasDropShadow=False on the ContextMenu removes the default drop shadow
that was clashing with the WPF Aero-ish look.

Settings crash on ⚙ click
-------------------------
The InverseBoolConverter was declared with `xmlns:local` inline on the
resource element. WPF's BAML compiler did parse it, but the resource
lookup at dialog open time was unstable depending on which XAML reader
processed it first. Move the namespace declaration to the
ResourceDictionary root (xmlns:res) — standard pattern, no more crash.
White strip on the left of the ContextMenu
------------------------------------------
WPF's default MenuItem template renders a column for the icon/check
indicator that's painted in SystemColors.MenuBarBrush (light gray on
default themes), creating a visible white strip on a dark menu. Fix by
fully retemplating MenuItem with just a Border + ContentPresenter for the
header, no icon column, no check indicator. Hover state uses #2C2C32 to
match the rest of the dark theme. Separator is also styled to use
Brush.Border.
Auto-refresh on startup
-----------------------
MainViewModel now triggers CheckForUpdatesAsync from its constructor via
a fire-and-forget Task. A 500ms delay lets the UI render before the
HTTP call, and the call is dispatched back to the UI thread for the VM
state mutations. Failures (offline, server down) are logged but don't
prevent the launcher from being usable on installed versions.

Settings (⚙ button in top bar)
------------------------------
SettingsDialog opens via OpenSettings command in MainViewModel. Sections:
- Serveur: server URL field + "Tester" button that GETs /api/health
and reports status inline.
- Installation: installRoot path with Browse button
(Microsoft.Win32.OpenFolderDialog, .NET 8 native).
- License: shows status / owner / exp / machine ID (read-only,
copy-to-clipboard button), "Désactiver" wipes the cached license.
- Cache: shows download cache path + current size, opens or empties it.
- Logs & Application: launcher version + logs path with "Open" button.
Apply persists to LocalConfig via IConfigStore. After save, MainViewModel
RebuildList()s so changes to ServerBaseUrl or InstallRoot take effect
without restart.
Persistent Serilog logs
-----------------------
Logs now live in %LocalAppData%/PSLauncher/logs/app-YYYYMMDD.log, rolling
daily, 10 days kept. Output template includes source context and stack
traces. Generic Host wired up via .UseSerilog() so all
ILogger<T>-injected types share the sink. Unhandled AppDomain and
Dispatcher exceptions are routed to Serilog before propagation.
Windows toasts
--------------
IToastService + ToastService backed by Microsoft.Toolkit.Uwp.Notifications
(ToastContentBuilder.Show()). Required bumping the App TFM from
net8.0-windows to net8.0-windows10.0.17763.0 (with explicit
WindowsSdkPackageVersion=10.0.17763.41 to satisfy CommunityToolkit.Mvvm
8.3.2's MVVMTKCFG0003 check). Triggered on:
- successful install completion: "Proserve v{X} est prête à être lancée"
- install/download error: short error excerpt
Misc
----
- InverseBoolConverter for "disable button while busy" patterns.
- Added Markdig.Wpf import to ReleaseNotesViewerDialog (was implicit
before, now required explicitly).

The canonical config example is server/api/config.example.php — there's
no reason for a copy in tools/. Likely a leftover from an earlier sync
back from the OVH host.

Symptom: "Réponse serveur non authentifiée (signature invalide)" on
license activation. Root cause: PHP \DateTimeInterface::ATOM emits the
server's local timezone offset (e.g. +02:00 on a CET host), while the
C# canonicalizer emitted +00:00 after ToUniversalTime(). Same instant,
different string, different bytes, signature mismatch.
Server (ValidateLicense.php):
- All timestamps now built with `new DateTimeZone('UTC')` and formatted
as 'Y-m-d\TH:i:s\Z' — fixed string, no offset variation.
- Reads issued_at / download_entitlement_until from MySQL as UTC; the
display is consistent with what the client sees.
Client (LicenseService.cs):
- FormatDateAtom now produces "yyyy-MM-ddTHH:mm:ssZ" with literal Z and
handles null safely (previous version would have produced "Z" alone
for a null input thanks to string + null concatenation).
Both sides therefore agree on the canonical bytes for any datetime,
including across daylight savings transitions.

OVH shared hosting MySQL hostnames (*.mysql.db) only resolve from inside
OVH's network — phpMyAdmin running locally or any external client gets
"getaddrinfo failed". Either the operator uses OVH-hosted phpMyAdmin (one
click in the manager), or runs SQL through a PHP script that already lives
on the OVH machine.
migrate.php applies every *.sql file in migrations/ in lexicographic order,
using config.php credentials. Works equally from CLI (php tools/migrate.php
in SSH) and from a browser hit one-shot. Statements split on ";\n", skips
SQL comment lines. Idempotent thanks to CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS.

Self-contained admin under /PS_Launcher/admin/ on the same OVH host. No
JS framework, no Composer deps — just PHP 8.3 + sessions + a small CSS.
Auth & infrastructure
---------------------
- admin/lib/Auth.php: session + CSRF helper. Login via password_hash /
password_verify. session_regenerate_id on successful login.
config.example.php gains admin_password_hash, generated by:
php -r "echo password_hash('PWD', PASSWORD_DEFAULT);"
- admin/lib/Layout.php: shared header/footer/nav, formatBytes,
csrfField helpers.
- admin/.htaccess: noindex / X-Frame-Options DENY / X-Content-Type
nosniff / blocks lib/*.php from web access.
- admin/assets/style.css: matches launcher's dark theme — same
Brush.* palette mapped to CSS vars, vivid green/blue/amber status
pills consistent with the WPF UI.
Pages
-----
- index.php (Dashboard): KPIs (active/expired/revoked licenses, machines
seen 30d, validations 24h), manifest signature status, last 10
audit_log entries.
- licenses.php: full CRUD.
* Émettre: owner, expiration date, max machines, internal notes →
generates a PRSRV-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX key, displays it ONCE in a
green callout (DB stores the key; the message stays only on this
request, never shown again).
* Prolonger (per-row, expandable form), Revoke / Unrevoke,
Reset machines (frees all slots for that license).
* Status badge: active / expired / revoked.
- versions.php: edit the manifest from the web.
* Add a version: number + release date + minLicenseDate + release
notes Markdown (creates releasenotes/{version}.md). Sets default
download URL to {base_url}/builds/proserve-{version}.zip.
* Per-row Méta (edit minLicenseDate / releasedAt), Notes (edit md
inline), toggle availableForDownload, Delete entry.
* 🔁 Sync (sign-manifest) button: shells out to
`php tools/sign-manifest.php` and shows its stdout — recomputes
sha256/sizeBytes for every uploaded ZIP, bumps `latest`, signs
Ed25519. Visual indicators on each row: zip presence, hash
computed yes/no, signature status.
* Lists orphan ZIPs in builds/ that no manifest entry references.
- audit.php: paginated audit_log viewer (100/page) with event-type
filter dropdown. JOINs licenses to show owner_name. Color-codes
events (validate_ok green, expired amber, invalid/revoked red).
Server README rewritten to document the full setup flow:
1. Create MySQL DB, run migrations/001_init.sql
2. Copy config.example.php → config.php, fill db credentials
3. php tools/generate-keypair.php → paste into config.php and into the
client's Resources/server-pubkey.txt
4. Set admin_password_hash in config.php
5. Login at /PS_Launcher/admin/
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
UX bonus: clicking "Reprendre" on an interrupted download skips the
release-notes confirmation dialog (the user already approved when they
first clicked Installer).
Server side
-----------
- migrations/001_init.sql: licenses, license_machines, rate_limit,
audit_log on InnoDB/utf8mb4. Foreign keys, unique on license_key, slot
uniqueness per (license_id, machine_id).
- api/lib/Db.php: thin PDO singleton (exception mode, prepared, no emul).
- api/lib/Crypto.php: Ed25519 sign/verify via libsodium (sodium_crypto_*),
HMAC-SHA-256 helper for v0.6, canonicalJson() that strips `signature`
before serializing — must match exactly the encoding done client-side
before verify.
- api/routes/ValidateLicense.php: POST /license/validate. Looks up the
key, walks the machine slot logic (insert or update last_seen),
enforces max_machines, returns a payload signed Ed25519 + status of
valid/expired/revoked/machine_limit_exceeded/invalid. Audit logs every
outcome. Rate-limit 10/min/IP via the rate_limit table.
- tools/generate-keypair.php: prints a fresh sodium keypair so the
operator drops the hex into config.php and the public_key_hex into the
launcher resource.
- tools/issue-license.php: PRSRV-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX generator (32-char
unambiguous alphabet), inserts the license, prints the key once.
- tools/sign-manifest.php: now also signs the manifest itself with
Ed25519 after computing the per-zip sha256s.
- config.example.php: schema rewritten with sections db / hmac / ed25519
/ jwt / rate-limit. config.php remains gitignored.
Client side
-----------
- Models/License.cs: LicenseValidationRequest + LicenseValidationResponse
with CanDownload(VersionManifest) — entitlement_until vs version's
minLicenseDate. The status valid|expired|revoked|machine_limit_exceeded
flow is preserved end-to-end.
- Core/Licensing/LicenseService.cs:
* machineId = SHA-256 of HKLM/Software/Microsoft/Cryptography/MachineGuid
+ UserName (stable, no PII leak)
* online ValidateAsync calls /license/validate with launcher version
* embedded server-pubkey.txt drives Ed25519 verification of the
response (skipped gracefully if pubkey not yet provisioned)
* SaveCached / GetCached use DPAPI CurrentUser scope on the license
key; the cleartext key never touches disk
* GetCached has a 7-day offline grace window after the last successful
validation, so going offline doesn't lock the user out
- Core/Resources/server-pubkey.txt: EmbeddedResource. Default content is
a comment, which the service treats as "no pubkey configured" and
bypasses verification. Operator pastes the real hex post-deploy and
rebuilds.
- Core/PSLauncher.Core.csproj: Polly, NSec.Cryptography (Ed25519),
System.Security.Cryptography.ProtectedData (DPAPI).
- App/Views/OnboardingDialog.xaml(.cs): first-launch / "🔑 Activer"
modal. Calls LicenseService, displays status messages with red
foreground on errors and green-tinted secondary text otherwise.
- ViewModels/VersionRowViewModel.cs: new LicenseAllowsDownload property.
Install button label switches to "🔒 License insuffisante" when the
user's entitlement_until precedes the version's minLicenseDate;
CanInstall is false in that case so the click is a no-op too.
- ViewModels/MainViewModel.cs: loads the cached license at startup (no
network call), surfaces it as LicenseSummary in the top bar, exposes
ActivateLicenseCommand to (re)open the onboarding dialog. RebuildList
applies the per-version license filter so older installed versions
remain launchable but newer-than-license ones can't be downloaded.
- Views/MainWindow.xaml: top bar gains a "🔑 Activer / changer" button
next to the license summary.

This is the robustness layer needed for real 14 GB builds. A 99%-complete
download that gets interrupted no longer means re-downloading 14 GB.
DownloadManager
---------------
- Range: bytes={resumeFrom}- on every (re)attempt; reads resumeFrom from
the actual size of the .partial file so retries always resume from real
on-disk state, not from a remembered counter.
- If-Range: ETag (or Last-Modified fallback). When the server returns 200
instead of 206 we know the resource changed under us, so we discard
.partial and start fresh.
- Polly resilience pipeline: 6 retries, exponential 1-32s with jitter,
on HttpRequestException / IOException / TimeoutException / 5xx / 408 /
429. Each retry re-evaluates resumeFrom from disk, so the server is
asked only for what's actually missing.
- state.json persisted every 5s OR every 100 MiB, whichever comes first,
via atomic write-then-rename. Holds url, total, downloaded, sha256,
etag, last-modified, and the .partial path.
- Disk-space check happens once at fresh-start (1.05x expected size); a
resume doesn't redo it.
- On final success: SHA-256 of the assembled .partial verified, then
atomic rename to .zip and state.json deleted.
DownloadStateStore
------------------
- New IDownloadStateStore in PSLauncher.Core/Downloads.
- Stores under %LocalAppData%/PSLauncher/downloads/.
- Save / Load / Discard / ScanResumable. Tolerates malformed state files
by ignoring them.
UI hint
-------
VersionRowViewModel now has ResumableBytes; when > 0, the install button
label switches to "↻ Reprendre (X%)" computed from
ResumableBytes / Remote.Download.SizeBytes. MainViewModel.RebuildList
queries IDownloadManager.GetResumableState(version) for each remote-only
row and populates ResumableBytes. Both the featured hero card and the
compact rows bind to InstallButtonLabel.
API change
----------
IDownloadManager gains GetResumableState(version) and
DiscardResumableState(version) so callers (and the UI) can reason about
in-progress downloads without poking at the filesystem directly.

Featured version
----------------
The highest installed version (or highest remote if none installed) now
gets a large hero card at the top of the window: 32px Proserve title,
oversized colored status pill, and a much bigger primary action button
(LANCER / INSTALLER 56px padding). All other versions move below into a
"AUTRES VERSIONS" section with a horizontal divider, displayed as the
existing compact rows.
MainViewModel exposes FeaturedVersion + OtherVersions instead of one
flat Versions collection.
Vivid status colors
-------------------
Card backgrounds were too close (dark gray vs slightly bluer dark gray).
New scheme:
- Installed: card stays dark gray, but a 4px green strip on the left and
a vivid green "● Installée" pill make it unmistakable.
- Available remote-only: distinct dark blue card + vivid blue strip + blue
"○ Disponible" pill.
- Busy: amber strip + amber pill, amber progress bar.
Brushes added to Theme.xaml: Brush.Status.Installed (#16A34A),
Brush.Status.Available (#3B82F6), Brush.Status.Busy (#F59E0B), each with
a matching very-dark-tint *Bg variant for card backgrounds.
Markdown theming
----------------
Release notes dialogs were unreadable (white background, near-white text).
Markdig.Wpf produces a FlowDocument with default white bg / black fg
regardless of the host control. Added MarkdownTheming.BuildThemedDocument
which renders the Markdown then walks all blocks/inlines to apply the
launcher's dark palette (Brush.Bg.Card transparent, Brush.Text.Primary
foreground, Brush.Accent links). Both UpdateAvailableDialog and
ReleaseNotesViewerDialog use this helper.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Replace the sidebar + hero + single big-button layout with a flat list of
per-version cards. Each card carries its own action button:
- Installed: ▶ Lancer (green, primary)
- Available on server only: ⬇ Installer (blue, accent) + lighter blue card
- Busy: inline mini progress bar with %, card tinted green
Each card also exposes a "..." menu (left-click opens it) with:
- Voir les release notes (works for installed and remote-only versions)
- Ouvrir le dossier (installed only)
- Supprimer cette version (installed only, with confirmation dialog)
VersionRowViewModel owns its state (InstalledIdle / AvailableIdle /
Downloading / Installing / Uninstalling) and its commands; MainViewModel
wires per-row handlers after instantiation so the row VM stays UI-only
and the services live one layer up.
ReleaseNotesViewerDialog: separate dialog reused by the menu — same
Markdown rendering as UpdateAvailableDialog but no download CTA.
Theme: AccentButton + IconButton + dark ContextMenu/MenuItem styles.
Behavior changes:
- The single global SelectedVersion + AvailableUpdate are gone; each row
is independently actionable.
- The list now merges installed + remote: a version present on the
server but not locally appears as a "remote-only" row, and vice-versa.
