Problem / Motivation

No native menu model appears in public managed surface or native exports.

Current behavior

Relevant primitives exist in the files listed above, but this backlog item does not have a complete, explicit InfiniFrame contract with dedicated coverage.

Expected behavior

Introduce a minimal cross-platform menu model (MenuBar, MenuItem, commands) then implement Windows/Linux/macOS adapters iteratively.

Proposed solution

Implement this incrementally:

  1. Define/adjust the managed public API in InfiniFrame.Shared.
  2. Wire implementation in InfiniFrame and InfiniFrame.Native where required.
  3. Add focused tests (tests/InfiniFrameTests*) and docs updates (docs/docs/guides/*, docs/docs/migration/*).

Alternatives considered

  • Keep as unsupported and document migration limitation.
  • Provide a workaround-only approach without first-class API.

Use case

Applications migrating from Photino expect this behavior and currently need custom handling for "Native Menu Support".

Technical proposal

Scope implementation to: native platform layer (src/InfiniFrame.Native/*) plus managed interop (src/InfiniFrame.Shared/Native/*). Keep behavior deterministic across Windows/Linux/macOS and document platform-specific limitations explicitly.

Additional context

Photino reference: tryphotino/photino.Native#44
