Summary

Resolves the game installation detection and manifest reconstruction regression where standalone Zero Hour installations (repacks and localized releases) were misclassified as Generals vanilla or failed to rebind launch profiles. Also preserves zero-copy workspace integrity by eliminating silent copy fallbacks for cross-volume links.

Root Cause

  1. Zero Hour Archive Probing: Previous archive checks only matched hardcoded INIZH.big and PatchZH.big, missing localized archives (e.g. RussianZH.big, GermanZH.big, FrenchZH.big) and repack configurations.
  2. Root Detection Precedence: In root directories containing generic INI.big alongside Zero Hour naming or archives, FetchRootInstallation prematurely flagged Generals vanilla and returned, skipping directory name fallback.
  3. Manifest Reconstruction: LoadInstallationsFromManifestsAsync discarded known game capabilities from CAS manifests when recreating installations on startup.
  4. Client Detection Trigger: TryLoadGameClientsFromManifestsAsync suppressed fallback client detection when zero clients were populated from manifests.
  5. Path Matching: Profile rebinding relied on exact string equality rather than normalized path comparisons, causing mismatches across path formats.

Changes

  • Core Domain (GameInstallation):
    • Broadened Zero Hour archive detection to support all *ZH.big localized archives and client executables (EAC_LaunchGeneralsOnline.exe, generals.ctr).
    • Evaluated folder name heuristics upfront alongside archive signatures to prevent misclassification.
    • Preserved pre-configured and valid paths during Fetch().
  • Game Installation Service (GameInstallationService):
    • Seeded game capabilities from CAS manifest pool metadata during startup reconstruction.
    • Triggered automatic fallback detection if no clients are populated from existing manifests.
  • Profile Launcher (ProfileLauncherFacade):
    • Replaced strict string comparison with PathHelper.AreSamePath for normalized profile rebinding.
  • Workspace Linking (HardLinkStrategy):
    • Eliminated silent copy fallback for cross-volume links, enforcing zero-copy symlinking with elevation guidance.
  • Tests:
    • Added test cases covering standalone Zero Hour detection with generic bigs, localized archives, path preservation, and manifest capability reconstruction.

Verification

  • All 2,164 Core unit tests pass (dotnet test GenHub.Tests.Core.csproj)
  • All 14 Linux platform unit tests pass (dotnet test GenHub.Tests.Linux.csproj)
  • Verified zero-copy workspace hardlink and symlink strategies

    • Link failures are reported instead of silently falling back to copying.
    • Added guidance for permissions required by zero-copy links.
  • Documentation

    • Documented supported game archives, client executables, command-line constants, and zero-copy guidance.

Walkthrough

The PR expands Generals and Zero Hour installation detection, reconstructs installations from persisted manifests, and changes workspace creation to use hard links or symbolic links without copy fallback. Tests cover detection signatures, manifest reconstruction, link fallback, and link failure.

Changes

Installation and Workspace Behavior

Layer / File(s) Summary
Game installation detection
GenHub/GenHub.Core/Constants/GameClientConstants.cs, GenHub/GenHub.Core/Extensions/..., GenHub/GenHub.Core/Models/..., GenHub/GenHub.Tests/.../GameInstallationTests.cs, docs/dev/constants.md
Detection now recognizes additional executables, archives, directory names, localized archives, subdirectories, and explicitly configured paths.
Manifest reconstruction and path matching
GenHub/GenHub/Features/GameInstallations/GameInstallationService.cs, GenHub/GenHub/Features/GameProfiles/Services/ProfileLauncherFacade.cs, GenHub/GenHub.Tests/.../GameInstallationServiceTests.cs
Persisted manifests reconstruct Generals and Zero Hour capabilities. Existing directories without loaded clients are scheduled for detection. Installation path comparison uses PathHelper.AreSamePath.
Zero-copy workspace linking
GenHub/GenHub.Core/Constants/WorkspaceConstants.cs, GenHub/GenHub/Features/Workspace/..., GenHub/GenHub.Windows/Features/Workspace/..., GenHub/GenHub.Tests/.../StrategyTests.cs, GenHub/GenHub/Infrastructure/..., docs/dev/constants.md
Workspace creation now uses hard links or symbolic links only. Link failures no longer fall back to copying, and permission guidance appears in errors and workspace tooltips.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 4cc3d

This change improves standalone installation detection and manifest recovery, but the current implementation can still replace a valid custom game path or misidentify a Zero Hour manifest when its target game is omitted, potentially causing the wrong installation or capabilities to be used. These bounded correctness issues should be fixed before merging.

A rabbit links files through the springy green dell,
Hard links or symlinks, no copies to tell.
Game paths now bloom with detection so bright,
Generals and Zero Hour come into sight.
“Hop!” says the rabbit, “the workspace is light.”

High-Level Assessment

The following are alternative approaches to this PR:

1. Score-based signature detection
  • ➕ More robust than precedence-based heuristics (handles mixed/merged installs consistently)
  • ➕ Easier to extend with additional signatures over time
  • ➖ More complexity and tuning (weights/thresholds)
  • ➖ Harder to reason about than explicit rules for edge cases
2. Config-driven signature registry
  • ➕ Lets new ZH/Generals signatures (archives/exes) ship without code changes
  • ➕ Centralizes detection patterns (e.g., *.big suffix rules)
  • ➖ Adds configuration surface area and validation needs
  • ➖ Still requires careful ordering/logic for ambiguous installs

Recommendation: The PR’s approach (explicit signatures + improved precedence + directory-name fallback + broader archive pattern matching) is appropriate for this domain: it keeps detection readable, testable, and predictable while fixing real-world repack/localization cases. A scoring or config-driven system could be considered if signature growth accelerates, but it’s likely overkill given the current scope and the strong unit-test coverage added here.

Action required

1. Archive signature still misclassifies ✓ Resolved 🐞 Bug ≡ Correctness
Description
A generic-named standalone Zero Hour root containing both a Zero Hour signature and generic
INI.big is marked as both games because the Generals branch suppresses itself only for a
Zero-Hour-named directory, not for hasZhSignature. This leaves the reported repack regression
unresolved and exposes a nonexistent Generals capability to profile and manifest logic.

+                HasGenerals = true;
+                GeneralsPath = InstallationPath;
+                foundGenerals = true;

●●● Strong

Generic-root mixed signatures can expose a false Generals capability; this is a concrete detection
regression matching the PR intent.

PR-#414

ⓘ Recommendations generated based on similar findings in past PRs

Evidence
The new root probe computes both signature classes. INI.big makes hasGenSignature true, a
localized *ZH.big makes hasZhSignature true, and for a generic folder !isZhNamed then assigns
Generals even after Zero Hour was assigned; the existing repack test avoids this path only by using
a Zero-Hour-named folder.

## Issue description
Generic standalone Zero Hour roots with `INI.big` are still classified as Generals when a Zero Hour archive/executable signature is present.

## Issue Context
Refine precedence so a Zero Hour signature suppresses generic Generals signatures unless there is a genuinely strict Generals signature or another reliable indication of a merged installation. Add a generic-directory test combining `INI.big` with a localized `*ZH.big` archive.

2. Explicit paths get overwritten ✓ Resolved 🐞 Bug ≡ Correctness
Description
FetchSubdirectoryInstallations scans and assigns standard subdirectories even after Fetch has
accepted and marked an explicitly configured Generals/Zero Hour path as found, so a valid
detector/manifest-provided path can be silently overwritten by a sibling directory. This defeats the
intended path-preservation behavior and can cause downstream client detection/resolution to run
against the wrong installation and archive roots.
Code

GenHub/GenHub.Core/Models/GameInstallations/GameInstallation.cs[R319-321]

+                    HasGenerals = true;
+                    GeneralsPath = generalsPath;
+                    foundGenerals = true;
Relevance

●●● Strong

Directly contradicts the PR’s stated path-preservation intent; similar state-overwrite correctness
findings are accepted.

PR-#414
PR-#382

ⓘ Recommendations generated based on similar findings in past PRs

Evidence
The cited logic indicates that Fetch first validates explicitly configured paths and records them
via flags like foundGenerals/foundZeroHour, but then unconditionally invokes the new
subdirectory scanning routine; inside that routine, the subdirectory loop assigns
GeneralsPath/ZeroHourPath without consulting those already-set flags. Because platform-to-domain
conversion can supply explicit detector paths and the service later calls Fetch, this overwrite
path is reachable and contradicts the intended preservation behavior, replacing the paths used by
downstream client detection and resolution.

The issue below was found during a code review. Follow the provided context and guidance below and implement a solution

## Issue description
`FetchSubdirectoryInstallations` can overwrite explicitly configured, valid Generals/Zero Hour paths even though `Fetch` has already validated and marked those installations as found, causing the preserved path to be silently replaced by an auto-discovered sibling directory.

## Issue Context
Preserving configured paths is an explicit goal of this change, but `Fetch` currently proceeds into the standard-subdirectory scan regardless of whether `foundGenerals`/`foundZeroHour` are already true, and the scanner assigns paths without checking those flags. Update the flow so auto-discovery only fills missing capabilities: only scan and assign a game's standard subdirectories when its corresponding `foundGenerals` or `foundZeroHour` flag is false.

Remediation recommended

3. Uppercase localized archives missed ✓ Resolved 🐞 Bug ≡ Correctness
Description
HasZeroHourArchiveOrExecutableSignature enumerates with the case-sensitive *.big search pattern
before applying a case-insensitive suffix check, so localized archives such as RussianZH.BIG are
missed on case-sensitive filesystems. The installation then falls through to Generals or remains

Case-sensitive prefilter defeats explicitly intended localized archive detection; team recently

ⓘ Recommendations generated based on similar findings in past PRs

Evidence
The repository explicitly uses platform-sensitive path semantics and provides case-insensitive
fallback enumeration for installation files, but this new probe asks the filesystem to prefilter
lowercase .big; therefore its later OrdinalIgnoreCase comparison never sees uppercase-extension
files on case-sensitive platforms.

Agent prompt
The issue below was found during a code review. Follow the provided context and guidance below and implement a solution

## Issue description
The localized Zero Hour archive probe filters by `*.big` before its case-insensitive filename comparison, excluding uppercase/mixed-case extensions on case-sensitive filesystems.

## Issue Context
Enumerate files without a case-sensitive extension pattern, then compare the complete suffix or extension with `OrdinalIgnoreCase`. Add Linux-safe coverage for `.BIG` and mixed-case extensions.

4. Distinct Linux installs merge ✓ Resolved 🐞 Bug ≡ Correctness
Description
The new capability seeding consumes groups keyed with StringComparer.OrdinalIgnoreCase, so two
distinct case-sensitive paths such as /games/ZH and /games/zh are reconstructed as one
installation and their Generals/Zero Hour capabilities are combined onto the first path. This can
bind profiles and generated manifests to the wrong physical installation on Linux/macOS.

●● Moderate

Potential platform-specific identity collision is substantive, but available history lacks a close
path-grouping precedent.

ⓘ Recommendations generated based on similar findings in past PRs

Evidence
Manifest groups are always case-insensitive, while the repository's central path helper documents
and implements case-sensitive path identity off Windows. The added group.Any capability
aggregation directly combines every manifest in such an incorrectly merged group and applies both
capabilities to group.Key.

## Issue description
Manifest capability reconstruction combines manifests from distinct case-sensitive installation paths because grouping always ignores case.

## Issue Context
Use `PathHelper.PathComparer` (and normalized paths if appropriate) when grouping source paths, then test paths differing only by case on non-Windows platforms.

[WARNING]: Path comparer mismatch silently drops case-distinct installations on Linux/macOS

Grouping now uses PathHelper.PathComparer (case-sensitive on non-Windows platforms), but the downstream dedupe sites still compare paths with StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase:

  • TryInitializeCacheAsync merge (~line 835): i.InstallationPath.Equals(manifestInstall.InstallationPath, StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase)
  • AddInstallationToCacheAsync (~line 143): the same case-insensitive comparison

On Linux/macOS, manifests for distinct paths such as /games/ZH and /games/zh are (correctly) reconstructed as separate installations here, but the merge loop then treats them as duplicates and silently drops the second one, and AddInstallationToCacheAsync likewise refuses to add it while still reporting success. Align these comparisons with PathHelper.PathComparer (or PathHelper.AreSamePath where normalization is also desired), and add coverage for case-differing paths on non-Windows platforms.
