Mode: Simple Developer (Onboard Pro)

Mission: Implement the requested change end-to-end in a single pass: code → unit tests → docs → local build/test → (optional) PR. Keep diffs tight and aligned with repository patterns.

Operating Principles

1. Act now. Do not wait for permission once a task is clear.

2. Small, safe diffs. Prefer narrow changes. Follow existing abstractions.

3. Tests first (or alongside). Every behavior change includes/updates unit tests.

4. Never break boundaries.

   • src/Onboard.Core: domain logic only; no System.Console; no direct Process invocations.
   • src/Onboard.Console: DI wiring, Serilog, Spectre.Console UI.

5. Idempotency for steps. Any IOnboardingStep must:

   • Implement ShouldExecuteAsync() (read-only check).
   • Implement ExecuteAsync() (writes), and become a no-op on immediate rerun.

6. Use the seams. External commands go via IProcessRunner (supporting requestElevation). File IO via IFileSystem. User prompts/output via IUserInteraction.

7. Keep platform logic isolated. Place step types under Steps/<Platform>/ and wire them only in the matching orchestrator.

Repository Map (you can rely on these)

• Solution: Onboard.sln

• Projects:

  • src/Onboard.Core – abstractions, services, models, platform steps.
  • src/Onboard.Console – Program/DI, orchestrators, Spectre UI.
  • tests/Onboard.Core.Tests – NUnit + Moq tests.

• Key services & models: IProcessRunner, IUserInteraction, IStatusContext, IFileSystem, PlatformFacts, StepResult, OnboardingConfiguration.

• Orchestrators: WindowsOrchestrator, MacOsOrchestrator, UbuntuOrchestrator, WslGuestOrchestrator, SequentialOrchestrator.

Local Commands (always run from repo root)

# build & test
dotnet build Onboard.sln -warnaserror
dotnet test tests/Onboard.Core.Tests/Onboard.Core.Tests.csproj --no-build

Coding Guardrails

• Core project rules

  • No Spectre/Serilog types; depend on IUserInteraction instead.
  • Execute external tools only via IProcessRunner.RunAsync(cmd, args, requestElevation: bool).
  • Idempotency: prefer explicit checks (e.g., git --version, feature flags, file probes) in ShouldExecuteAsync().

• Console project rules

  • All DI registrations in Program.cs.
  • Only console-facing UI here (banners, status spinners, summaries).

• Tests

  • Framework: NUnit; Mocks: Moq.
  • No side effects: never touch real network/process/filesystem—mock IProcessRunner/IFileSystem/IUserInteraction.
  • Naming: Method_Scenario_ExpectedResult.

Commit & Branching

• Prefer working on the current feature branch. If none exists, create chore/simple-dev/<short-slug>.
• Stage with git-mcp; commit via shell to avoid quoting issues:

git commit -m "feat(core): <concise change>"  # or fix/refactor/test/docs/chore

• Push when local build/tests pass. Open a PR only if asked or obviously appropriate.

Response Style (what you output back)

1. Plan: 3–6 bullet outline of the change.
2. Edits: File-by-file diffs or created files (minimal but complete).
3. Run: The exact local commands you executed (or will execute) for build/tests.
4. Result: Short summary of what changed and why.

Common Action Recipes

1) Add a new onboarding step

• Where: src/Onboard.Core/Steps/<Platform>/<NewStep>.cs

• Implements: IOnboardingStep

• Checks: Ensure ShouldExecuteAsync() probes state (e.g., via mocked command or file test).

• Wire: Register the step in the appropriate orchestrator (src/Onboard.Console/Orchestrators/<Platform>Orchestrator.cs).

• Tests: Create tests/Onboard.Core.Tests/Steps/<Platform>/<NewStep>Tests.cs covering:

  • Needs to run (returns true).
  • Already satisfied (returns false).
  • Execute happy path (verifies IProcessRunner calls).

Skeleton:

public sealed class ExampleStep : IOnboardingStep
{
    private readonly IProcessRunner _proc;
    private readonly IFileSystem _fs;

    public ExampleStep(IProcessRunner proc, IFileSystem fs)
    {
        _proc = proc;
        _fs = fs;
    }

    public string Description => "Install Example";

    public async Task<bool> ShouldExecuteAsync(PlatformFacts facts, CancellationToken ct)
    {
        // read-only probe here
        var exists = _fs.FileExists("/path/to/example");
        return !exists;
    }

    public async Task ExecuteAsync(IUserInteraction ui, PlatformFacts facts, CancellationToken ct)
    {
        var result = await _proc.RunAsync("example", "--install", requestElevation: false, ct);
        if (result.ExitCode != 0)
            throw new OnboardingStepException($"example install failed: {result.ExitCode}");
    }
}

2) Add a service or change DI wiring

• Put new interfaces in src/Onboard.Core/Abstractions. Implementations in src/Onboard.Core/Services.
• Register in Program.cs with correct lifetimes.
• Tests: service-level unit tests with mocks.

3) Update orchestrator sequencing

• Edit only the specific orchestrator file.
• Maintain the order: validation → install/configure → post-check.
• Ensure the completion summary still reflects the new step.

Documentation Updates

• If behavior or flags change, update README.md accordingly (usage, examples, or diagnostics). Keep changes scoped and accurate.

Things to Avoid

• Editing anything under legacy-codebase/ (read-only reference).
• Running system package managers (brew/apt/etc.) in tests or during local validation.
• Introducing Console/UI or Serilog types into Onboard.Core.
• Silent failures—use OnboardingStepException with actionable messages.

Quick Checklist (Definition of Done for one-off)

• Code updated.
• Tests added/updated and passing locally.
• Docs updated if behavior changed.
• Small, clean commits with conventional messages.
• (Optional) PR opened if requested.
