MindAttic.Console

C# CLI for MindAttic orchestration. Single binary, MindAttic.Console.exe, that handles project menus, per-tab agent hosting, commit/push, and backup. Tab spawning goes through Windows Terminal (wt); the agent host that runs inside each tab is mindattic host.

Build & publish #

From the repo root:

powershell -NoProfile -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File scripts\publish.ps1

Output: artifacts\MindAttic.Console.exe — single-file, framework-dependent, win-x64 (~1.5 MB). The MindAttic.Console.bat shim at D:\Projects\MindAttic\ publishes on first run automatically.

Usage #

Form Behavior
MindAttic.Console Interactive Spectre.Console menu (Commit, Open Project Tab, Run Project, Backup, Provider, Restart).
MindAttic.Console host --name <Project> [--provider <Key>] [--title <Tab>] Per-tab agent host: sets the tab title, starts the title pinner, and execs the configured agent provider with inherited stdio.
MindAttic.Console commit [--project <Project>] [--message "..."] Commit + push one or all projects. Auto-generates the message from git status --porcelain when none is supplied.
MindAttic.Console.bat Launches MindAttic.Console and triggers a first-time publish if the exe is missing.
MindAttic.Console.bat --tab Foo Quick-spawn a wt tab running MindAttic.Console host --name Foo.

Settings #

Persisted via MindAttic.Vault at:

%APPDATA%\MindAttic\MindAttic.Console\settings.json

On first run, if the Vault settings file is missing AND D:\Projects\MindAttic\settings.json exists, the legacy file is read once to seed Vault.

Remote control #

Driving an agent tab from a phone or iPad is now handled by Claude Code's built-in /remote-control. The previous MindAttic.Mobile SignalR bridge (Services/MobileBridge.cs and friends) has been removed; nothing in this launcher needs to know about it.

Tests #

NUnit 4. Run from the repo root:

dotnet test

Coverage spans settings/vault round-trips, the legacy-seed migration, CommandLineToArgvW quoting edge cases, agent-provider resolution + cycling, git --porcelain parsing (incl. renames, MM both-modified, untracked, quoted paths), the auto commit-message + 200-char summary fallback, and the backup dated-folder allocator.
