Architecture overview

Explore the FolderRewind stack and trace UI orchestration through configuration, history, plugins and archives.

FolderRewind is .NET10/WinUI3 on Windows, with Windows App SDK2.5.1 in the current project. MVVM and testable command orchestration serve the UI; history/plugin cores use instance services and explicit dependencies, not blanket static-singleton architecture.

Boundaries

Host/SDK/Runtime/MineRewind have independent product/build boundaries. SDK is BCL-only net10.0; Runtime tests need no WinUI; external plugins reference SDK only. Host acceptance consumes fixed-hash .frplugin without plugin application source as build input.

Users own configs; discovery/reconciliation propose candidates/revision changes. Native history separates immutable shared facts, disposable indexes and local Workspace. The Host materializes/verifies before gated mutation; plugins cannot bypass it.
