Census

Census is a NONMEM run tracking and project management tool.

This repository is mid-port. The application is being rewritten from its original Lazarus / Object Pascal implementation to a cross-platform C# / .NET 10 + Avalonia codebase. The original code is preserved as a behavioral reference, not as the structure to reproduce.

Repository layout

Path	Contents
src/	New .NET solution projects (domain, import, storage, reports, archive, external tools, CLI, Avalonia app).
tests/	Test project (xUnit + Verify).
Census.slnx	Solution file.
Directory.Build.props, Directory.Packages.props, global.json	Shared build settings and Central Package Management.
legacy/	The original Lazarus / Object Pascal application, archived as the behavioral oracle. Not built by the .NET solution.
PORTING_STRATEGY.md	Why and how the port is being done, and the alternatives considered.
IMPLEMENTATION_PLAN.md	Concrete build plan, dependencies, and phased task breakdown.

Building the new codebase

Requires the .NET 10 SDK (only prerequisite).

dotnet restore Census.slnx
dotnet build   Census.slnx -c Release
dotnet test    Census.slnx -c Release

Run the headless CLI:

dotnet run --project src/Census.Cli -- --help

Produce a single self-contained binary (no runtime install required):

dotnet publish src/Census.Cli -c Release -r win-x64 \
  --self-contained true -p:PublishSingleFile=true

(Substitute osx-arm64, osx-x64, or linux-x64 for other platforms.)
