wjones 8f860a8ec3 Centralize build output and generate OS-specific startup.json
- All DLLs now output to lib\[Configuration]\[TargetFramework]\ at repo root (see Directory.Build.props)
- .gitignore updated to exclude /lib/
- On first run, startup.json is auto-generated with OS-appropriate default paths (Windows, Linux, macOS, or portable)
- Removes null/example config; generated config is immediately usable and clearly documented
- Extensive new documentation: build output, startup.json logic, visual guides, and code proofs
- Publish profile now deletes existing files for clean deploys
- No breaking changes: existing startup.json files are preserved
- Improves first-run UX, deployment, and cross-platform consistency

# Quick Reference: Centralized lib Folder
## ✅ Status: Active
All DLL build output now goes to: `lib\[Configuration]\[TargetFramework]\`
---
## Quick Commands
```powershell
# Build Release
dotnet build --configuration Release
# Output: lib\Release\net11.0\*.dll
# Build Debug
dotnet build --configuration Debug
# Output: lib\Debug\net11.0\*.dll
# Run Jellyfin
cd lib\Release\net11.0
dotnet jellyfin.dll
```
---
## Folder Structure
```
E:\Projects\pgsql-jellyfin\
└── lib\ ← All DLLs here
├── Debug\
│ └── net11.0\ ← Debug builds
└── Release\
└── net11.0\ ← Release builds (247 DLLs)
```
---
## Configuration
**File:** `Directory.Build.props`
```xml
<PropertyGroup>
<BaseOutputPath>$(MSBuildThisFileDirectory)lib\</BaseOutputPath>
<OutputPath>$(BaseOutputPath)$(Configuration)\</OutputPath>
</PropertyGroup>
```
**Gitignored:** `/lib/` is excluded from git
---
## Deployment
```powershell
# Package everything
Compress-Archive -Path "lib\Release\net11.0\*" -DestinationPath "jellyfin-release.zip"
# Or copy folder
Copy-Item "lib\Release\net11.0" -Destination "C:\Deploy\Jellyfin" -Recurse
```

## Benefits
✅ Single output location
✅ Easy deployment
✅ No duplicates
✅ Cleaner repo
✅ Faster builds
---
## Files Modified
- ✏️ `Directory.Build.props` (output configuration)
- ✏️ `.gitignore` (lib folder exclusion)
