Cyd 2a3d1c1ef6 Merge: net48-only launcher (pod-validated)
Launcher Service + Agent moved from net8/x64 self-contained to net48
framework-dependent; Tesla.Contract is now net48-only (single TFM across the
suite). Package drops from ~91 MB zipped to ~1.6 MB. Tested OK end-to-end on a
pod computer.

TeslaSuite

The Tesla cockpit-pod software, in one repository:

Folder What it is Target
Console/ TeslaConsole — the operator console (WinForms) that configures and drives the pods. A faithful decompiled reconstruction of the original TeslaConsole.exe, with a differential test suite that pins it to the original baseline. .NET Framework 4.8
Launcher/ TeslaLauncher — the pod-side Service (Session 0 RPC listener) + Agent (user-session app launcher). A clean .NET 6 rewrite of the original launcher. .NET 6 (windows, x86)

The console and the launcher talk over TCP 53290 using an OFB-encrypted BinaryFormatter RPC. They share a wire contract (Tesla.Net types + ILauncherService/IPodManagerConnection signatures) that must stay byte-for-byte compatible.

⚠️ Known duplication (intentional, for now): that shared contract currently lives in two places — the console consumes it as the compiled Console/lib/TeslaConsoleLaunchLib.dll, and the launcher hand-replicates the same types in Launcher/LaunchModels_Shared.cs. They must match exactly. Consolidating this into a single multi-targeted Tesla.Contract source project is the main follow-up this monorepo is meant to enable.

Building

Each side has its own toolchain; the combined solution builds both:

dotnet build TeslaSuite.sln -c Release

Or individually:

dotnet build Console/TeslaConsole.csproj -c Release          # the console
dotnet test  Console/tests/TeslaConsole.DiffTests            # differential + catalog tests
dotnet build Launcher/TeslaLauncher.sln -c Release           # service + agent

The launcher also has its original Launcher/build.bat / Launcher/install.bat for producing and deploying the self-contained pod build.

Layout notes

  • Console/original/TeslaConsole.exe is the reference baseline the differential tests compare against — keep it.
  • Console/lib/*.dll are the proprietary binary dependencies the console still references (TeslaConsoleLaunchLib, TeslaSecureConfiguration, Munga Net, BitmapLibrary, WeifenLuo docking).
  • Console/RedPlanet/Apps.xml is the data-driven product catalog (see the console's Site Management → Add Product / Register Product on Pods).
