WinBaas implementation status and remaining work

[KlausLoeffelmann]

WinBaas status summary

The WinBaas backup-assist desktop app is now scaffolded and wired up with the WARP-hosted WinForms pattern, with the main UI, catalog/discovery services, and backup actions implemented.

Implemented so far

• New src/WinForms/NET10/WinBaas solution and projects (WinBaas.App, WinBaas.Core)
• WARP bootstrap in Program.cs using WinFormsApplication.CreateBuilder(...), AddWinFormsUserSettingsService(...), and the AppServices pattern
• Main WinForms UI layout (MenuStrip, ToolStrip, SplitContainer, TreeView, ListView, StatusStrip)
• Catalog models, persistence contracts, and settings handling
• Best-effort discovery for folders/files, environment variables, and LocalDB/SQL Express instances
• Backup flows for copy-to-folder and ZIP archive output
• Add/delete/restore/options dialogs and command wiring
• Build validation for the solution

Outstanding / still to verify

• End-to-end smoke test of discovery + backup on a real Windows GUI session
• Final pass on TreeView/ListView synchronization edge cases and user feedback polish
• Confirm roaming catalog-path persistence and restore-to-default behavior with a live run
• Optional UX polish (status messaging, empty-state messaging, and any follow-up refinements from the first manual run)

Notes

• The app currently builds successfully.
• A startup smoke test was attempted, but this environment does not expose a reliable GUI session for fully verifying the running window end-to-end.
• The implementation intentionally avoids MVVM, DirectX, and AI features.
