Summary

First functional version of the System and Game Manager with a WinForms UI, launcher/game detection, local database synchronization, and basic audio automation for gaming scenarios.

Features (already working)

1) Desktop app with multiple sections

• WinForms UI with tabs for:
  • PC information
  • Game information
  • Game audio manager
• Manual data refresh via the "Load Info" button.

2) System information

• Detects PC name, local/public IP addresses, MAC address, and OS version.
• Reads CPU, GPU, RAM, and storage/drive information.

3) Launcher detection

• Loads known launchers from assets/game/knownLaunchers.json.
• Detects installed launchers via Windows registry.
• Resolves installation paths with fallback logic.
• Reads library paths from VDF files (for example Steam library data).

4) Game detection

• Detects installed games from launcher game folders.
• Detects additional games via launcher registry keys.
• Resolves EXE paths (top-level and simple subfolder fallback).
• Merges and deduplicates detected games.

5) Database synchronization (SQLite)

• Automatically creates tables (if missing).
• Upsert/sync behavior for launchers and games:
  • creates new records
  • updates changed records
  • removes records that no longer exist

6) Audio manager (basic functionality)

• Global and per-game sliders for:
  • game volume
  • music volume
• Continuous monitoring of the foreground game.
• When a detected game is active:
  • music app volume is set to the configured game-specific value.
• After the game closes:
  • previous music app volume is restored.

7) Startup modes

• GUI mode by default.
• Console mode via --console.

Not implemented yet / limited

1) Full audio ducking logic for conversations/in-game events

• Described as a goal in the README, but not available yet:
  • automatic detection of conversation/voice-chat situations
  • event-based volume adjustments depending on game audio context

2) Active in-runtime game volume control

• Per-game slider values are stored (in memory),
  but monitoring currently focuses primarily on adjusting the music app.
• Robust automatic adjustment of each game's own audio session is not fully implemented yet.

3) Flexible music app selection

• Default behavior is currently tailored to Spotify.
• No UI yet for selecting arbitrary music/media processes.

4) Persistence of UI audio slider changes

• Slider changes are used during runtime,
  but not yet saved as persistent per-game settings in the database.

5) Smart home API integration

• Mentioned as a future direction in the project description,
  but not yet available as a finished feature integration.

6) Test coverage

• There are currently no automated unit/integration tests in the project.

Known notes

• Foreground process and audio session detection is Windows-specific.
• Depending on permissions/system configuration, reading some process paths may be limited.
• Game detection quality depends on launcher data, registry entries, and folder structures.
