Add a settings file and troubleshoot toggles for FW Lite configuration - #2736
Conversation
A field report of "localhost refused to connect" after a browser login could not be diagnosed from app.log: MSAL's listener messages are filtered to Warning in code and our own code logged nothing about the sign in. Now: - AuthService logs sign-in start, success and failure with elapsed time. - OAuthService logs the loopback redirect URI (port) when it opens the browser, via a new AuthConfig.OpenSystemBrowser hook that MAUI fills with Launcher.Default.OpenAsync, and warns when the app stops with a sign in still waiting for the browser. - Log filters come from configuration instead of hard-coded AddFilter calls. Defaults are registered before environment variables, so a user can raise a category for one session, e.g. Logging__LogLevel__FwLiteShared.Auth.LoggerAdapter=Information.

MAUI loads no configuration by default, so until now the only way to raise a log level or change a path in the desktop/mobile app was an environment variable. Add an optional fw-lite-settings.json in the data directory, loaded between the in-memory defaults and environment variables, and two troubleshoot dialog controls that write it: a "Verbose logging" switch and an advanced section where support-supplied JSON can be pasted. Both apply immediately via IConfigurationRoot.Reload(), so no file watcher is needed on mobile. A file with a syntax error is skipped and reported in app.log instead of crashing startup.

WalkthroughThe FW Lite desktop and mobile apps now compose configuration from defaults, an optional settings file, and environment variables. Troubleshooting services expose verbose-logging and settings-file operations, and the Troubleshoot dialog adds controls to use them. Tests cover configuration and verbose-logging behavior. Documentation and locale catalogs include the new settings controls.

Review comments at @backend/FwLite/FwLiteMaui/FwLiteMauiConfiguration.cs:
- Around line 91-92: Update the logging-level switch in FwLiteMauiConfiguration
so disabling verbose logging restores any preexisting Default and
FwLiteShared.Auth.LoggerAdapter values instead of removing them; alternatively,
ensure enabling the switch does not overwrite those configured values.
- Around line 118-120: Update WriteSettingsFile to validate the JSON contents
using the same configuration parser used by AddJsonFile before creating or
replacing the settings file. Reject parser errors, including duplicate
configuration keys, and preserve the existing file when validation fails.
- Around line 24-25: Keep the settings file path used by
AddFwLiteMauiConfiguration aligned with the path used by troubleshooting
operations: prevent the loaded file from overriding
FwLiteMauiConfig.BaseDataDir, or retain the initially selected path for those
operations.
- Line 81: Update the settings-loading flow around ReadSettingsFile so malformed
JSON does not prevent users from enabling diagnostic logging; provide a repair
action or let the logging switch safely replace the invalid settings file.
Review comments at
@backend/FwLite/FwLiteMaui/Services/MauiTroubleshootingService.cs:
- Around line 100-101: Update the settings dialog and troubleshooting guide to
identify FwLiteMaui:MaxLogFileCount as requiring a restart;
configuration.Reload() does not recreate the file logger configured by
FwLiteMauiKernel.AddFwLiteMauiServices via logging.AddFile. Alternatively,
update the affected service so changes to this setting reconfigure the logger
immediately.

@backend/FwLite/FwLiteShared/Services/ITroubleshootingService.cs:
- Around line 11-16: Add [JSInvokable] to all four new declarations in
ITroubleshootingService and to the three new methods in
WebTroubleshootingService that currently lack it; ensure the attribute is
present on both the interface and concrete class interop contracts.
Review comments at
@frontend/viewer/src/lib/troubleshoot/TroubleshootDialog.svelte:
- Around line 52-55: Update setVerboseLogging to catch failures from
service.setVerboseLogging and show the error in the dialog using the same
notification behavior as the settings-save handler.
- Around line 62-64: Update the $effect that synchronizes settingsFile.current
with settingsDraft so it initializes the draft on first load and refreshes it
only when the draft is not dirty; preserve unsaved edits across resource
refreshes.

- The settings file can no longer move BaseDataDir: the directory the file was loaded from is pinned after the file, so the log, the data dir and the file the troubleshoot dialog edits all stay where the loaded file is. - Save and apply validates with the configuration parser itself, so a file that AddJsonFile would reject (e.g. duplicate keys) is refused instead of being saved and then skipped at startup. - The verbose logging switch reports a malformed settings file in the dialog and resyncs its state instead of failing silently; it never replaces the file, the advanced editor is where it gets repaired. - Document that log file size and count only apply after a restart.

Resolve MauiProgram.cs: keep the settings-file log line and use develop's IcuInit + UnhandledExceptionLogging.Register in place of the inline handlers. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Resolve FwLiteMauiKernel.cs and MauiProgram.cs after #2730 was squash-merged: keep this branch's AddFwLiteMauiConfiguration setup, which already includes the defaults and environment variables develop added. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Let's users toggle on debug logs, and let's us overwrite app config via the troubleshooting dialog.

AI summary
Stacked on #2730, which made log levels come from configuration. This adds a way to inject that configuration without environment variables.
fw-lite-settings.jsonin the app data directory (next toapp.log) is loaded betweenFwLiteMauiKernel.DefaultConfigurationand environment variables, so env vars still win. Any section can be set, exactly as with env vars; the file is in the user's own data directory so it is no more a trust boundary than they are. Composition lives inFwLiteMauiConfiguration.AddJsonFilebehaviour throws before any logger exists). Windows and Mac Catalyst watch the file for hand edits.Defaultand the MSAL category toDebugin the file, and a collapsed Advanced: settings file section lets support-supplied JSON be pasted in. Both callIConfigurationRoot.Reload()so they apply immediately on every platform, including mobile, with no restart. Invalid JSON is rejected and the old file kept; blank deletes the file.ITroubleshootingServicegainsGetVerboseLogging(null on web, which hides both controls),SetVerboseLogging,GetSettingsFile,SetSettingsFile.docs/FWLITE-TROUBLESHOOTING.mddescribes the file, precedence and how support instructs a user.Considered and rejected: an allow-list restricting the file to
Loggingand log-file sizes. It blocked legitimate support fixes such asFwDataBridge:ProjectsFolderwhile defending against nothing an env var does not already allow.Test plan
