This PR adds a new Tool under the tools tab that applies all the core fixes which GenPatcher applies aswell.

Greptile Overview

Greptile Summary

Overview

This PR implements a comprehensive ActionSet orchestration framework and integrates GenPatcher functionality as a Tool plugin. The implementation adds 32 different "Fix" classes that apply system-level patches, registry modifications, and file operations to ensure Command & Conquer Generals/Zero Hour compatibility on modern Windows systems.

Architecture

The PR introduces a well-designed plugin architecture:

  • Core Framework: IActionSet, BaseActionSet, ActionSetOrchestrator provide the foundation
  • Infrastructure: IRegistryService abstracts Windows Registry operations
  • 32 Fix Implementations: Each inheriting from BaseActionSet and handling specific compatibility issues
  • UI Layer: GenPatcherViewModel and GenPatcherToolView provide user interaction
  • DI Integration: All components registered in WindowsServicesModule

Critical Issues Found

1. Missing Dependency Registration ⚠️

Patch104Fix and Patch108Fix require IHttpClientFactory which is not registered in the DI container. These fixes will fail at runtime with dependency resolution errors.

2. Incorrect Path Usage ⚠️

Both patch fixes use installation.InstallationPath instead of the game-specific paths (GeneralsPath/ZeroHourPath). This will cause the fixes to fail when trying to locate executables and install patch files.

3. Stub Implementation ⚠️

ContentActionSet.ApplyInternalAsync() returns success without actually downloading/installing content. This misleads users into thinking content was installed when it wasn't.

4. Missing Error Handling ⚠️

GenPatcherViewModel.ApplyAllFixesAsync() doesn't check the result from the orchestrator, always showing success even if fixes failed.

5. Record Immutability Violation

ActionSetResult.WithDetail() mutates the Details list, breaking the immutability contract expected from C# records.

Positive Aspects

✅ Well-structured abstraction with clean separation of concerns
✅ Comprehensive logging throughout
✅ Proper admin privilege checks for registry operations
✅ Constants properly extracted to dedicated classes per style guide
✅ Good test coverage for core components
✅ Detailed user feedback with step-by-step progress messages
✅ GenPatcher compatibility maintained (same rule names, logic)

Confidence Score: 2/5

  • This PR contains several critical runtime bugs that will cause failures when users attempt to use the new GenPatcher Tool functionality
  • The score reflects multiple critical issues: missing DI registration will cause immediate crashes when instantiating patch fixes, incorrect path usage will cause patch operations to fail, stub implementations will mislead users, and missing error handling will hide failures. While the architecture is sound, these are not edge cases—they are core functionality bugs that will affect all users who try to apply patches.
  • Critical attention needed: Patch104Fix.cs, Patch108Fix.cs, GenPatcherViewModel.cs, WindowsServicesModule.cs, ContentActionSet.cs - these files contain logic errors that will cause runtime failures

This is a stub implementation that always returns success without actually downloading or installing the content. The comment on line 86 explicitly states "It is NOT fully implemented because the download link isn't there." This means users will think content is installed when it actually isn't, which is misleading behavior.

This stub should either:

  1. Return a failure with "Not yet implemented" message (honest approach)
  2. Be removed from the ActionSet list until properly implemented
  3. Have the actual download/installation logic implemented

The current implementation will create user confusion and support issues.

Using Task.Run to parallelize status checks is good, but there's a potential issue: if currentInstallation changes between when the tasks are created and when they execute, all the ViewModels will be checking status against the wrong installation. This is a race condition.

Consider capturing the installation in a local variable before creating tasks:

tasks.Add(Task.Run(async () =>
{
var vm = new ActionSetViewModel(fix, currentInstallation, registryService, notificationService, logger);

For Zero Hour, the executable is named Generals.exe, not a Zero Hour specific name. However, this is in the Zero Hour path, so both Generals and Zero Hour will have files called Generals.exe. The comment should clarify this is intentional (Zero Hour reuses the Generals executable name), or there may be confusion.
