# Implementation Plan for `furumi-mount-windows` Client
## Architectural Decision
- **VFS Driver:** `WinFSP` (Windows File System Proxy).
- **Justification:** Excellent performance, perfect compatibility with the FUSE model, widely used in similar projects (e.g., rclone, sshfs-win).
- **Installation:** A unified installer (bundle) will be created (for example, using Inno Setup or WiX Toolkit), which will:
- Check if WinFSP is already installed.
- Automatically install the official `winfsp.msi` silently (using `/qn` flags) if the driver is missing.
- Install the `furumi-mount-windows.exe` client itself.
---
## Implementation Details
### 1. Application Scaffold
- Create a new binary crate `furumi-mount-windows` within the workspace.
- Add dependencies: `winfsp` (or `wfd`), `tokio`, `clap`, `tracing`, and an internal dependency on `furumi-client-core`.
### 2. Entry Point (CLI)
- In `main.rs`, configure parsing for command-line arguments and environment variables (`--server`, `--token`, `--mount`), similar to `furumi-mount-macos`.
- Initialize the gRPC connection to the server via `furumi-client-core`.
- Configure directory mounting:
- As a network drive (e.g., `Z:`).
- Or as a transparent folder within an existing NTFS filesystem (depending on driver support/flags).
### 3. VFS Implementation
- Create an `fs.rs` module.
- Implement the trait or callback structure required by WinFSP (e.g., the `WinFspFileSystem` structure).
- Action mapping:
- `GetFileInfo` / `GetSecurityByName` → gRPC `GetAttr` call.
- `ReadDirectory` → Streaming gRPC `ReadDir` call.
- `ReadFile``ReadFile` gRPC call (with support for stream chunking).
- **Crucial Part:** Translating Unix file attributes (from gRPC) into Windows File Attributes to ensure the system permits high-performance continuous stream reading (especially for media).
### 4. Installer Creation
- Write a configuration script for a Windows installer builder (e.g., `windows/setup.iss` for Inno Setup).
- Neatly bundle both `winfsp-x.y.z.msi` and `furumi-mount-windows.exe` together.
- Add Custom Actions / Logic to:
- Check the Windows Registry for an existing WinFSP installation.
- Trigger the `winfsp.msi` installation conditionally.
### 5. CI/CD Integration
- Update the GitHub Actions workflow (`docker-publish.yml` or create a dedicated release workflow).
- Add the target toolchain: `x86_64-pc-windows-msvc`.
- Add a step to compile: `cargo build --release --bin furumi-mount-windows`.
- Add a step to build the installer (e.g., `iscc setup.iss` or via `cargo-wix`).
- Output the final `setup.exe` as a GitHub Release artifact alongside other binaries.
### 6. Testing Strategy
- Write unit tests in Rust covering attribute translation and path mapping (mapping slashes `/` to backslashes `\`).
- Manual System Testing:
- Start `furumi-server` locally.
- Run the installer on a clean Windows machine (VM without pre-installed WinFSP).
- Verify that the drive mounts correctly and seamlessly.
- Launch media playback (e.g., via VLC/mpv) to ensure streaming stability over the VFS connection.
