Update DB connection, protocol flush policy, and docs
- Switch appsettings.json to production DB connection string
- Update copilot-instructions.md to reference Rules #1-6
- Set FlushPolicy.DoubleBuffered for AcBinary protocol in PluginNopStartup.cs
Add repo prefixes and clarify workspace dependencies
Added prefix, type, and layer properties to each @repo block in copilot-instructions.md. Updated own-dep-repos arrays for clearer dependency paths. Adjusted [LOADED_DOCS: ...] prefix instructions to reflect correct file counts. These changes enhance multi-repo management and documentation protocol clarity.
Add Deployment & Hosting section to documentation
Added a new section detailing how the FruitBank nopCommerce server is deployed, its relationship with the FruitBank plugin, and clarified that deployment configuration is managed externally. Also documented the removal of the legacy Mango/FruitBank folder and where deployment context is now described. No other changes made.
Refactor skill loading protocol in copilot-instructions
Clarified session setup: only two reactive skills are pre-loaded, with three user-gated skills now lazy-loaded on demand. Updated documentation to add "AUTHORITY, RULE SCOPE, AND SKILL INVOCATION" section, revised skill trigger descriptions, and adjusted `[LOADED_DOCS: ...]` prefix logic. Documented docs-archive as a lazy-loaded skill. Added settings.local.json for local file removal permissions. No code logic changes—documentation and protocol only.
- Restructured documentation: added `docs/README.md` to each sub-project, moved LOGGING and SIGNALR docs into dedicated subfolders with their own `README.md`.
- Updated all cross-references to use new topic folder paths and canonical AyCode.Core doc locations.
- Updated `.csproj` files to auto-include all Markdown docs and project-level `README.md` files.
- Removed obsolete single-file docs, replaced with structured content in topic folders.
- Enforced AI Agent Protocol: session setup, output prefix, no-re-read, and mandatory `docs-check` skill after code changes.
- Added domain-critical reminders and navigation guidance to relevant `README.md` files.
- Switched to new `[LOADED_DOCS: N files (+K this turn: ...)]` prefix format in all protocol docs, with examples and enforcement details.
- Documented `docs-discovery` skill, protocol history, and documentation-first coding requirements.
- Added protocol documentation for `Nop.Plugin.Misc.AIPlugin`.
- Changed SQL connection string to use `FruitBank_DEV` in `appsettings.json`.
- Wrapped `IHubProtocol` debug output in `#if DEBUG` in `PluginNopStartup.cs`.
Update DB config, docs, and SignalR binary protocol setup
- Switched appsettings.json connection string to production DB.
- Added "Shared Agent Skills" section to copilot-instructions.md in both main and Mango.Nop Libraries repos.
- Refactored PluginNopStartup.cs: improved using statements, updated SignalR to use AddAcBinaryProtocol with explicit options, removed manual IHubProtocol registration, and added protocol diagnostics.
- No business logic changes; focused on configuration, documentation, and infrastructure.
Changed connection string to use FruitBank_DEV database. Updated DI registration of AyCodeBinaryHubProtocol to use custom AcBinarySerializerOptions with BufferWriterChunkSize set to 4096. Added import for AyCode.Core.Serializers.Binaries and included a commented alternative DI approach.
Updated the connection string in appsettings.json to use the FruitBank_PROD database instead of FruitBank_DEV. Changed the SignalR hub protocol registration in PluginNopStartup.cs from AcBinaryHubProtocol to AyCodeBinaryHubProtocol.
Changed the database in appsettings.json connection string from FruitBank_PROD (production) to FruitBank_DEV (development) while keeping all other parameters unchanged.
Updated copilot-instructions.md to enforce stricter documentation-first and multi-repo rules, including cross-repo doc loading, per-question doc checks, and improved context recovery triggers. Broadened explicit consent to all file types. Updated CLAUDE.md with sequential execution override and tool mapping, ensuring Claude follows the same protocol and rule set.
- CLAUDE.md: single-line pointer to copilot-instructions.md
- copilot-instructions.md: added @repo name field, relative paths in own-dep-repos, SCHEMA.md first-use read, "do not re-read .md files" rule, and explicit permission to navigate external repos

Added detailed documentation: ARCHITECTURE.md, CONVENTIONS.md, GLOSSARY.md, and copilot-instructions.md for Mango.Nop.Core, Data, and Services. Updated/added README.md files for all Mango.Nop libraries and the FruitBank nopCommerce plugin, clarifying structure, key types, and usage. Switched appsettings.json connection string from production to development database. These changes improve developer onboarding and enforce architectural consistency.
Replaced hardcoded Debug paths in all .csproj files with $(Configuration) for AyCode and FruitBank DLL references, enabling correct DLL resolution for any build configuration. Switched appsettings.json connection string to use the FruitBank_PROD database. Added a null check for StockTaking in StockSignalREndpointServer.cs to prevent possible null reference exceptions. Noted some encoding issues in .csproj comments and copyright fields. No other functional changes.
Annotated core entities with AcBinarySerializable and ToonDescription for improved serialization and documentation. Updated appsettings.json to use the production database. Changed solution file to target Visual Studio 17. Added necessary using statements and metadata for entity classes.
Refactored StockSignalREndpointServer to use helper methods for creating and updating StockTakingItem objects. Added a new SignalR endpoint to refresh StockTakingItem values. Updated order item retrieval logic and switched the connection string to use the FruitBank_DEV database. Commented-out logic for handling virtual stock was moved to helper methods.
Changed the database in appsettings.json connection string from FruitBank_PROD to FruitBank_DEV for development purposes. Other connection parameters remain unchanged.
Re-enable Product class and related enums in Nop.Core.Domain.Catalog, moving them from commented to active code. Add [ToonDescription] attributes to Product properties for enhanced documentation and serialization. Mark sensitive Customer fields with [ToonIgnore] to exclude them from Toon processing.
Changed the database in appsettings.json connection string from FruitBank_PROD (production) to FruitBank_DEV (development) while keeping all other parameters unchanged.
Replaced DynamicMethodCallModels.Add with DynamicMethodRegistry.Register for testSignalREndpoint, improving dynamic method call management and aligning with a registry-based approach.
Added build_fruitbank.bat as a Solution Item. This batch script provides an interactive interface for building, cleaning, or cleaning and building the FruitBank project and related solutions. It automates cleaning bin/obj folders, runs dotnet clean/build for multiple projects, and includes special handling for AyCode.Core.sln. The script improves developer workflow with user prompts, feedback, and error handling.
Added using statements for AyCode.Core.Helpers across several files and AyCode.Core.Serializers.Binaries in DevAdminSignalRHubSandbox.cs to enable new helper and serializer functionalities. No other code changes were made.
Update SignalRClientToEndpointTest to use the generic GetResponseData<T>() method instead of directly accessing the ResponseData property. This improves type safety and ensures consistent handling of response data across all relevant test cases.
- Deleted Mango.Sandbox.SignalRTestClient project and all related files from the solution.
- Switched appsettings.json connection string to use FruitBank_DEV.
- Cleaned up project references in Mango.Sandbox.EndPoints and its test project.
- Commented out all Null* plugin manager/service classes in Mango.Sandbox.EndPoints.Services.
- Add endpoints and tests for binary serialization of TestCustomerDto lists to reproduce and diagnose MessagePack interned string index errors
- Update appsettings.json to use FruitBank_PROD database
- Set AcBinarySerializerOptions in DevAdminSignalRHubSandbox
- Extend TestSignalRTags and ITestSignalREndpointServer for new endpoints
- Add TestCustomerDto class for serialization tests
- Remove obsolete low-level SignalR/HTTP endpoint test files
Refactored Mango.Sandbox.EndPoints to enable minimal, dependency-light SignalR endpoint testing. Introduced DevAdminSignalRHubSandbox and TestSignalREndpoint for protocol/contract tests without full NopCommerce/FruitBank infra. Added SignalRClientSandbox and comprehensive MSTest coverage for all parameter types. Simplified Program.cs startup, updated project references, and added minimal logger. Original SignalREndpointTests replaced with focused, low-level and high-level tests. CORS and DTOs updated for compatibility.
Introduces a new SANDBOX environment with a dedicated web app (`Mango.Sandbox.EndPoints`) for testing SignalR endpoints in isolation from the main application. Adds null plugin manager implementations to avoid plugin dependencies. Includes automated MSTest tests (`Mango.Sandbox.EndPoints.Tests`), a manual SignalR test client, and a PowerShell script for building and running the sandbox. Provides configuration files and health endpoints for robust, independent development and testing of FruitBank SignalR logic.
