Resolves#428: GenHub previously only installed into the default LocalAppData location and lacked an in-app capability to relocate existing installations, CAS pools, and game workspaces to another drive or custom directory.
This PR implements custom installation directory support via Velopack --installto / -t flags and provides a cross-platform in-app migration service and Settings UI.
Key Changes
Velopack Custom Install Path Documentation: Documented the --installto <path> / -t <path> installer options in docs/velopack-integration.md and updated the release workflow notes template.
Storage Migration Core Service: Implemented IStorageMigrationService and StorageMigrationService providing:
Preflight checks: write permission probe (IStorageWritabilityProbe), active launch/process detection (ILaunchRegistry, IGameProcessManager), volume free disk space calculations with safety margin, and path sanity validation.
Safe relocation of CAS storage pool and workspaces with rollback protection.
Non-blocking execution on background threads.
Detached migration helper execution via parameterized ProcessStartInfo.ArgumentList arguments on Windows, Linux, and macOS.
Settings UI & ViewModel:
Added new "Migrate Installation" expandable section in Settings view.
Added BrowseMigrationTargetPathCommand and MigrateInstallationLocationCommand with confirmation dialogs and live progress feedback.
Self-Healing Startup Repairs:
Added desktop shortcut validation and self-healing repair on startup (App.axaml.cs) when the executable path is relocated.
Cross-Platform Test Coverage:
Added StorageMigrationServiceTests, SettingsViewModelMigrationTests, and StorageMigrationConstantsTests in GenHub.Tests.Core.
Updated composition root contract assertions in CompositionRootAssertions.cs to ensure IStorageMigrationService resolves across Windows, Linux, and macOS host containers.
Resolves#428.
### Changes
- Documented Velopack `--installto` / `-t` custom installation directory flag in `docs/velopack-integration.md` and release workflow template.
- Implemented `IStorageMigrationService` and `StorageMigrationService` supporting pre-flight validation (volume space calculation with safety margin, active game launch and process checks, write permissions probe) and post-install relocation of binaries, CAS storage pool, and workspaces.
- Added Migration section and commands (`BrowseMigrationTargetPathCommand`, `MigrateInstallationLocationCommand`) to Settings UI and ViewModel.
- Added self-healing desktop shortcut repair on application startup across platforms.
- Added unit and integration tests across Core, Windows, Linux, and macOS test suites.

Settings workflow and wiring GenHub/GenHub/Features/Settings/*, GenHub/GenHub/Infrastructure/DependencyInjection/*, GenHub/GenHub/App.axaml.cs
Adds migration controls, folder selection, confirmation, progress reporting, dependency registration, settings navigation, and desktop shortcut repair during startup.
Validation and installation guidance GenHub/GenHub.Tests/*, .github/workflows/release.yml, docs/velopack-integration.md
Adds unit and integration coverage for migration behavior and dependency wiring. Documents custom installer paths, migration, URI registration, and update behavior.
This change adds destructive installation and data migration, but failed Windows copies can still remove the original installation, while other failures can leave storage and settings inconsistent; user-selected paths are also embedded into detached shell scripts without safe escaping. The PR is not safe to merge until these failure-recovery and path-handling issues are fixed.

ValidatePreflightAsync has a cyclomatic complexity of 27 with "very-high" risk
A function with high cyclomatic complexity can be hard to understand and
maintain. Cyclomatic complexity is a software metric that measures the number of
independent paths through a function. A higher cyclomatic complexity indicates
that the function has more decision points and is more complex.

Insecure way of creating temporary file
One way to generate unique files is to rely on DateTime.Now.Ticks and then append this filename to the temp path. However, .NET provides APIs to generate reliable temp files. You can combine Path.GetTempPath() and Path.GetTempFileName() to get the full path to a uniquely generated file that is comparatively more secure and reliable.

An application should always try to quit gracefully irrespective of whether it encounters an error or not. If your application has to terminate, ensure that it implements the required cleanup/dispose methods to at least safely dispose off the resources that it has acquired/locked to the extent possible and then exit cleanly/gracefully.

Add custom install paths and in-app storage migration
✨ Enhancement🧪 Tests📝 Documentation🕐 40+ Minutes
AI Description
• Support custom install paths and migrate existing installations from Settings.
• Validate destinations, relocate optional data, and restart through detached platform helpers.
• Repair relocated shortcuts and document installer options with cross-platform tests.
The following are alternative approaches to this PR:
1. Re-run the Velopack installer
➕ Delegates installation layout and package metadata handling to Velopack.
➕ Reduces custom binary-copy logic on Windows.
➖ Does not directly migrate CAS storage or workspaces.
➖ Adds installer acquisition and user-interaction complexity.
➖ Does not provide an equivalent flow for every packaged platform.
2. Ship a dedicated migration executable
➕ Provides one typed, testable migration engine across platforms.
➕ Can centralize transactional copy, rollback, logging, and relaunch behavior.
➖ Adds another packaged binary and lifecycle to maintain.
➖ Requires platform-specific process and permission handling despite shared code.
➖ Increases release and updater integration complexity.
Recommendation: The PR's preflight-plus-detached-helper strategy is pragmatic because the running application cannot safely relocate its own binaries, while the same workflow can also move application data. Re-running the installer is incomplete for storage migration, and a dedicated helper executable would improve long-term testability but adds substantial packaging complexity; retain the current approach unless migration reliability requirements justify that additional component.

When CAS/workspace relocation is selected, the migration sets ApplicationDataPath to the new
Data directory but moves only CAS and workspaces. On restart, profiles, manifests, tracked user
data, and workspace metadata are resolved from the new empty root and disappear from the
application.
ⓘ Recommendations generated based on similar findings in past PRs
Evidence
The migration only invokes directory relocation for CAS and workspaces, then assigns the common
application-data root to targetDataDir. ConfigurationProviderService documents that profiles,
manifests, tracked user data, and workspace metadata all follow ApplicationDataPath, and its
resolver returns that override after restart.
The issue below was found during a code review. Follow the provided context and guidance below and implement a solution
## Issue description
Relocating CAS/workspaces redirects `ApplicationDataPath` without moving the application metadata stored under the old application-data root, so profiles and manifests vanish after restart.

View high (5) 4. Failed settings save loses storage✓ Resolved🐞 Bug☼ Reliability
Description
MigrateAsync ignores the false result from TryUpdateAndSaveAsync after CAS and workspace
directories have already been moved and their old locations removed, then continues with CAS
reinitialization, binary migration, and application shutdown. If persistence fails, the next process
loads the old paths and cannot find the moved storage, effectively orphaning it.
ⓘ Recommendations generated based on similar findings in past PRs
Evidence
The migration relocates CAS and workspace directories before calling TryUpdateAndSaveAsync,
discards its boolean result, and proceeds through CAS reinitialization, helper launch, and shutdown.
TryUpdateAndSaveAsync explicitly catches SaveAsync failures and returns false rather than
throwing, while the directory-relocation fallback deletes the source, proving that migration can
continue with persisted settings still pointing to directories that no longer exist.
The issue below was found during a code review. Follow the provided context and guidance below and implement a solution
## Issue description
Storage directories are moved before settings persistence, but `MigrateAsync` ignores a `false` result from `TryUpdateAndSaveAsync` and continues with CAS reinitialization, binary migration, and application shutdown. Fix the flow so a persistence failure does not leave the saved configuration pointing to deleted source directories or orphan the relocated storage.
## Issue Context
The settings API converts `SaveAsync` exceptions into a `false` return value, so migration cannot rely on an exception to stop execution. Check the result before reinitializing CAS, launching the migration helper, or exiting; if persistence fails, stop migration and restore the original directories and settings.

7. Windows failure deletes source✓ Resolved🐞 Bug☼ Reliability
Description
The selected Windows helper suppresses Copy-Item errors and unconditionally removes $SourceDir
in finally, while the Linux helper deletes the source after a successful wildcard copy that can
omit hidden files. As a result, partial or failed copies can destroy the only intact installation;
even caught Windows failures restore only old target files before deleting the complete source,
leaving no safe rollback copy.
ⓘ Recommendations generated based on similar findings in past PRs
Evidence
The migration code substitutes source and target values into the platform resource selected by
PrepareMigrationScript. The Windows script sets ErrorActionPreference to SilentlyContinue,
invokes Copy-Item without -ErrorAction Stop, and removes $SourceDir in finally, with the
fallback template repeating this behavior; the Linux script copies with *, which excludes
dotfiles, and then removes the source when that command succeeds.

## Issue description
The detached platform replacement scripts can remove the source installation after an unsuccessful, partial, or incomplete copy, destroying the only intact installation and leaving no safe rollback copy.

Fix both embedded resources and fallback templates: make Windows copy failures terminating, copy into a fresh staging directory, verify that the complete tree—including hidden files on Linux—was copied, atomically promote the staged tree, and delete the source only after verified success; on failure, remove partial output and preserve the original installation.

Both migration methods catch every Exception, including OperationCanceledException, and convert
cancellation into failed OperationResults, breaking standard cooperative-cancellation semantics
and preventing callers from distinguishing cancellation from operational defects. Although the API
accepts a CancellationToken, active-launch lookup, recursive file relocation, script writing, and
other synchronous destructive phases do not consistently receive or observe it, so callers cannot

handlers around token-aware awaited calls; only the game-process lookup receives the token, while

not observe it, and there are no cancellation checkpoints around the synchronous migration phases.

Pass the same token into all applicable async dependencies, including launch lookup and settings persistence, and ensure directory traversal, recursive copying, script file operations, filesystem mutations, and helper launches observe cancellation, with checks between individual file operations.

16. Service swallows generic exceptions 📘 Rule violation≡ Correctness
Description
The migration service catches generic Exception and returns normal failure results from
non-boundary service methods. This can mask programming errors and violates the requirement to catch
concrete expected exception types outside process boundaries.
ⓘ Recommendations generated based on similar findings in past PRs
Evidence
Rule 3001350 permits generic catches only at explicit process boundaries or when immediately
rethrowing. MigrateAsync is a service method and converts all exceptions into a failure result;
other helpers also suppress broad exceptions.

copy/delete and script file I/O without leaving the captured UI context. Large installations can
therefore freeze the settings UI for the duration of migration.

Both migration methods catch every Exception, including OperationCanceledException, and convert
cancellation into failed OperationResults, breaking standard cooperative-cancellation semantics
and preventing callers from distinguishing cancellation from operational defects. Although the API
accepts a CancellationToken, active-launch lookup, recursive file relocation, script writing, and
other synchronous destructive phases do not consistently receive or observe it, so callers cannot
reliably stop the longest-running I/O work.
Agent Prompt
## Issue description
Storage migration accepts a cancellation token, but cancellation exceptions are swallowed and returned as ordinary failed `OperationResult`s, while long-running synchronous and destructive phases do not consistently observe the token.
## Issue Context
Add dedicated `catch (OperationCanceledException) { throw; }` blocks before generic catches so cancellation propagates instead of being reported as an operational or validation failure. Pass the same token into all applicable async dependencies, including launch lookup and settings persistence, and ensure directory traversal, recursive copying, script file operations, filesystem mutations, and helper launches observe cancellation, with checks between individual file operations.

CreateService passes IStorageWritabilityProbe as the third constructor argument and omits the
required ICasPoolManager. The new StorageMigrationService constructor requires ICasPoolManager
third and IStorageWritabilityProbe sixth, so the test project fails to build.

- Around line 101-102: Update the test around ValidatePreflightAsync to await
its successful result and assert that Data.IsValid is false for each invalid
path, rather than expecting ArgumentException. Preserve the existing theory
cases and align the assertion with the service’s current non-throwing validation
contract.
In `@GenHub/GenHub/Common/Services/StorageMigrationService.cs`:
- Around line 38-41: Reduce the cognitive complexity of ValidatePreflightAsync
by extracting the target containment checks into ValidateTargetLocation,
active-process aggregation into CollectActiveProcessesAsync, and required-byte
calculation into CalculateRequiredBytes. Keep ValidatePreflightAsync as a linear
validation flow and preserve its existing validation outcomes and data sources.
- Around line 458-459: Update MigrateAsync to track each successfully completed
CAS or workspace relocation and compensate if a later relocation fails,
restoring moved directories to their original locations before propagating the
failure. Anchor the rollback around the existing
CopyDirectoryRecursive/TryDeleteDirectory relocation flow and preserve the
persisted paths when migration does not complete.
- Around line 509-515: Escape path values before substituting them into the
generated shell script: update the script-content construction around the
LOG_FILE, SOURCE_DIR, TARGET_DIR, CURRENT_EXE, and BACKUP_DIR replacements to
use the appropriate PowerShell or Bash escaping for the selected template,
including quotes, dollar signs, backticks, and backslashes as applicable. Ensure
all embedded paths remain valid quoted literals in both generated scripts.
- Around line 617-620: Update the PowerShell migration template to initialize
$MigrationSucceeded to $false with the other variables, set it true only after
the copy completes successfully, and guard the finally-block removal of
$SourceDir with that success flag. Ensure copy failures and the catch/restore
path preserve the source installation while retaining cleanup after successful
migration.
- Around line 252-258: Check the boolean result from TryUpdateAndSaveAsync in
the migration flow and return a failure immediately when it is false, before
Phase 3 reinitializes the CAS pool or reports success; preserve the existing
continuation when the save succeeds.
- Around line 226-228: Update StorageMigrationService path construction around
targetDataDir, targetCasRoot, and targetWorkspaceRoot so relocated CAS and
workspace directories are rooted directly under targetRoot rather than
targetRoot/Data. Align the corresponding test expectations with this single
consistent layout.
- Line 698: Update the process start configuration around FileName to use the
absolute system PowerShell path instead of the relative powershell.exe value,
while preserving the existing UseShellExecute setting and invocation behavior.
In `@GenHub/GenHub/Features/Settings/ViewModels/SettingsViewModel.cs`:
- Around line 809-818: Extract the repeated lifetime lookup, TopLevel
resolution, and single-folder picker logic from SettingsViewModel into a private
static PickSingleFolderAsync helper accepting a title and returning the selected
folder path or null. Replace the picker blocks in the four affected methods,
including BrowseMigrationTargetPath, so each supplies its title and assigns its
corresponding property only when a path is returned.
- Around line 908-909: Reset MigrationProgressPercentage when the migration
failure path in MigrateAsync sets IsMigrating to false and MigrationStatusText.
Prefer moving the shared reset into a finally block to cover all migration
outcomes and remove the duplicated failure-path resets, while preserving
existing status handling.
In `@GenHub/GenHub/Features/Settings/Views/SettingsView.axaml`:
- Line 443: Update the MigrationTargetPath TextBox in the settings view to bind
IsEnabled to the inverse of IsMigrating, keeping the target path editor disabled
while migration is active and preserving its displayed value.

Review Notes (click to expand)
This PR is exceptionally large (1,755+ insertions across 23 files, 8 commits) and has already been extensively reviewed by automated tooling. The PR carries 42 active inline review comments from DeepSource (10), Qodo (20), and CodeRabbit (12) covering the full range of substantive findings:
Security & correctness (Qodo High/CodeRabbit Critical): Path-injection / unescaped values in generated shell scripts, Windows PowerShell finally block deleting source on failure, application metadata orphaning, macOS bundle layout loss, hidden runtime files omitted, failed settings-save data loss, migrated paths remaining inactive, and source deletion in update_genhub.ps1 / .sh are all flagged.
Architectural / maintainability (DeepSource / Qodo / CodeRabbit): Cognitive complexity of ValidatePreflightAsync, platform logic leakage, generic Exception catches (CS-R1008), redundant base dependencies, static-method-after-instance-method ordering, and per-instance static usage in StorageMigrationService are flagged.
UI / settings: Folder-picker boilerplate extraction, reset of MigrationProgressPercentage on failure, and disabling MigrationTargetPath during migration are flagged.
Tests: Test compilation / mock setup and ValidatePreflightAsync invalid-path assertion alignment are flagged.
After independent verification of the current HEAD (8c11f9d) against the diff, the residual concerns noted by the automated reviewers (especially the PowerShell rollback/delete logic, shell-parameter escaping, and macOS .app bundle layout preservation) are not safe to "carve around" and should be resolved by the author. No duplicate or new findings are added here to avoid duplicating the active defect discussion already on each line.
