Self-contained briefing for a fresh Claude Code session picking up work
on this project from a Windows machine running VS 2022. Covers:
- TL;DR + 4 features
- MailRouter API contract + EspoCRM endpoints
- Tech stack (locked decisions)
- Repo layout + current state
- Step-by-step recipe to regenerate the VSTO host project from the
template (the hand-written csproj is incompatible with VS)
- Conventions + deferred work + open risks
Read this before doing anything: docs/PROJECT-BRIEFING.md.

Initial repo scaffold for a Windows VSTO/COM Outlook Add-in (C#/.NET FW 4.8)
that integrates Outlook desktop with EspoCRM via the existing MailRouter
v1.2.0 endpoint (POST /api/v1/MailRouter/file).
Includes:
- Solution + 4 csproj projects (host, Core, UI, Tests) under src/
- VSTO host project stub (ThisAddIn.cs, requires VS 2022 + Office workload to fully resolve)
- Core/UI/Tests as SDK-style net48 projects (NuGet: Polly, System.Text.Json,
Serilog, CommunityToolkit.Mvvm, xUnit, Moq, FluentAssertions)
- .gitea/workflows/build.yml for Windows runner CI (publish/sign placeholders)
- docs/ARCHITECTURE.md (component diagram, threading model, per-feature flow)
- docs/ONBOARDING.md (Hebrew lawyer-facing install guide)
Server-side already in place: MailRouter v1.2.0 — see plan
~/.claude/plans/resilient-sauteeing-feather.md for the 6-week implementation
plan.
