What this changes

TidyFlow 2.0: a ground-up rewrite on .NET 10, prepared for open-source release on GitHub.

  • One organizing engine (TidyFlow.Core) shared by Organize now, scheduled runs and the file watcher. The PowerShell worker is gone; the scheduled task runs TidyFlow.exe --run silently.
  • New WPF app (MVVM, built-in Fluent theme): Preview changes, History with per-run Undo, weekly/monthly day selection, run at sign-in, start at sign-in, toast notifications, --uninstall.
  • Fixes the 1.x bugs found in review: size filter units, scheduled runs missing from undo/stats, watcher wildcard matching, dead "run on startup", fixed Monday/1st schedules, console windows, tasks breaking after updates, undo overwrite/single-file issues, racing writes.
  • Distribution: single-file portable downloads (x64 + ARM64) published by a tag-driven release workflow. The MSIX project stays as an optional build.
  • Open-source setup: rewritten README with screenshots, updated guides, CHANGELOG, Code of Conduct, security policy, issue/PR templates; MIT license names Elemental Genius LLC.

See CHANGELOG.md for the full list.

How it was tested

  • 65 xUnit tests (engine, 1.x settings migration, history/undo, concurrency, Task Scheduler XML, command line) pass locally.
  • Exercised in the running app against scratch data: headless run, Preview → Move, file watcher (including download renames vs. manual renames), Undo from History, scheduled task create/remove, light/dark themes, single-instance handoff.
  • MSIX package installed temporarily with Developer Mode: execution alias, packaged headless run, startup task, scheduled task pointing at the alias, redirected data folder opening correctly in Explorer; then removed.
  • Portable single-file x64 build: headless run, toast notification, --uninstall cleanup. ARM64 build cross-compiled (not run).
  • CI and release workflows have not run before; this PR is their first CI run.

Checklist

  • .\build.ps1 passes (no warnings, all tests green)
  • Engine changes in TidyFlow.Core come with tests
  • User-facing changes are in CHANGELOG.md and the docs

Stop tracking local Claude Code settings and refresh .gitignore
42de2c5 
.claude/settings.local.json holds machine-specific permissions (local
paths, an internal remote) and shouldn't be in a public repo. It stays on
disk and is now ignored. The .gitignore is trimmed to what the project
produces today (SDK-style build output, MSIX artifacts, dist/), dropping
WiX and 1.x worker entries.

TidyFlow 2.0: rewrite on .NET 10 with a shared organizing engine
944c909 
Replace the .NET Framework 4.8 app and the PowerShell worker with:

- TidyFlow.Core (net10.0): one organizing engine used by Organize now,
  scheduled runs and the file watcher, plus config/preferences/activity
  stores with 1.x migration, atomic writes and a cross-process lock.
- TidyFlow (WPF, MVVM, built-in Fluent theme): Preview changes window,
  History tab with per-run Undo, weekly/monthly day selection, run at
  sign-in, start at sign-in, toast notifications, single instance.
- Headless mode (TidyFlow.exe --run) replaces the PowerShell worker for
  the scheduled task, created via the Task Scheduler COM API. The task
  is repaired on startup if missing or pointing at the 1.x worker.
- --uninstall removes the scheduled task, startup entry and notification
  registration for the portable build.

Fixes 1.x bugs: size filter in bytes vs KB, scheduled runs missing from
history and undo, mid-pattern wildcards ignored by the watcher, dead
"run on startup" option, fixed Monday/1st schedules, console window on
scheduled runs, tasks breaking after MSIX updates, undo overwriting or
restoring a single file, and racing writes to history/statistics.

Build and packaging: SDK-style projects, TidyFlow.slnx, central package
versions, build.ps1 (build/test, -Portable single-file zip, -Package
optional MSIX bundle), CI and tag-driven release workflows, Dependabot,
and 65 xUnit tests across the engine and app services.

The previous commit meant to stop tracking this machine-specific file but
re-staged it instead. It stays on disk and is covered by .gitignore.
