CydandClaude Opus 4.8 4c15197b34 Console/launcher-managed RIOJoy + real product uninstall
RIOJoy lifecycle is now owned by the console + launcher (the auto-start Run entry
was removed on the RioJoy side): Apps.xml autoRestart false -> true, so the
launcher starts RIOJoy and keeps it alive. Safe with uninstall — the watcher only
relaunches a still-tracked process, and uninstall's kill untracks it first.

Uninstall now physically removes the product (was unregister-only):
- Agent CmdUninstallApp: after kill + unregister, reports the product's
  C:\Games\<dir> to clean up — but only if no remaining registered launch entry
  still uses that folder (orphan check keeps multi-entry products like Red Planet's
  GameClient/LC/MR intact until the last entry is removed).
- Service (SYSTEM): on UninstallApp, runs <dir>\pre-uninstall.bat if present
  (RIOJoy's removes ViGEmBus + config) then deletes the directory, on a background
  thread so it can't trip the Console's RPC timeout. Path-guarded to only ever
  delete a proper subdirectory of C:\Games. Logged to podconf.log.

74 tests green; the cleanup path is pod-behavior, not unit-tested here.

TeslaConsole.DiffTests — differential equivalence suite

Verifies that the reconstructed TeslaConsole.exe (built from the decompiled source in this repo) behaves identically to the original reference binary in original/TeslaConsole.exe.

How it works

The suite loads each assembly into its own child AppDomain (DifferentialFixture) and drives it through a MarshalByRefObject proxy (Invoker). This is why the project targets net48 — AppDomains are a .NET Framework feature. The original is the 4.11.3.37076 baseline; the recovered build is the modernized 4.11.4.x line (same TeslaConsole assembly name, an intentionally newer version). Because the two versions differ, the public-member comparison strips Version= stamps before diffing — it compares type/member names, not assembly versions.

Each child domain is given a probe directory (the recovered build's output, which ships every dependency DLL) so the original — which is distributed without its proprietary dependencies — still resolves its references for metadata inspection.

What is compared

  1. Public API surface (PublicApiSurfaceTests) Every public type and public member (signature-for-signature) exposed by the original must also be exposed by the recovered build. Compiler-generated members and property/event accessor methods are excluded — the README at the repo root notes those legitimately differ between a decompilation and the lost sources.

  2. Behavioral output (BehavioralEquivalenceTests) The same deterministic, dependency-free methods are invoked in both assemblies over a battery of inputs and the results must match byte-for-byte:

    • RPStrings.GetTimeString (mm:ss formatting + 0.5 s rounding)
    • HostTypeHelper.Parse(...).ToString() (incl. invalid-input exceptions)
    • PlasmaBitmaps.ConvertBitmap (1-bpp packing of a known pixel pattern)
    • PlasmaBitmaps.GenerateString (full GDI text → 1-bpp plasma pipeline)
    • RPMap / RPVehicle XML parsing
    • SiteManagement well-known application GUID constants
    • Tuple.Create<,> generic factory

    A negative-control test (Harness_Distinguishes_Different_Outputs) proves the harness can actually see a difference, so a green run is never vacuous.

The project also carries two byte-compatibility guards — not original-vs-recovered comparisons, but checks that the modernized protocol/crypto stays compatible with the original binaries:

  • PodRpcProtocolTests — round-trips the framed-JSON RPC (Contract/PodRpcProtocol.cs) in-process: every request/response shape encodes and decodes back to the same values.
  • SecureConfigCompatTests — asserts the source-built OFBCryptoStream produces byte-identical ciphertext to the original TeslaSecureConfiguration.dll, so the pod provisioning handshake stays wire-compatible.

Running

dotnet test tests/TeslaConsole.DiffTests/TeslaConsole.DiffTests.csproj

A project reference builds the reconstruction first, and the suite always tests the most recently built bin/{Debug,Release}/net48/TeslaConsole.exe.

Scope / limitations

This compares deterministic logic. It deliberately does not drive the WinForms UI, the pod networking, secure-configuration, or hardware-facing code — those require the live console, its pods, and the proprietary services, and are not reproducible in a unit test. The API-surface test still asserts those types exist with matching signatures even though their behavior isn't exercised.
