<Project Sdk="Microsoft.NET.Sdk">
  <PropertyGroup>
    <OutputType>WinExe</OutputType>
    <TargetFramework>net8.0-windows</TargetFramework>
    <UseWPF>true</UseWPF>

MVVM Architecture

• CommunityToolkit.Mvvm for ObservableObject, RelayCommand, source generators
• Microsoft.Extensions.DependencyInjection for service registration
• ManifestStore as singleton observable service
• ViewModels bind to ManifestStore properties

Acceptance Criteria

• dotnet build compiles cleanly
• App launches and shows empty MainWindow
• DI container registers all services and view models
• MainWindow has Grid layout with sidebar column + content column
