Reporting a bug

Two equivalent ways:

From the app (advanced mode): Report a bug button — opens a GitHub issue already pre-filled with the version, system, and capture folder used.
Directly on GitHub: new issue.

Before opening an issue, a quick look at the FAQ & troubleshooting page can save time.

A good description includes:

The version used (visible in the window title, or in the "What's new" dialog).
What you expected vs. what happened.
Steps to reproduce, if possible.
An excerpt from the Logs panel (advanced mode) if the error shows up there.

Proposing a code change

The project is open to contributions via pull request.

Development environment

.NET 10 SDK (Windows)
See the For developers section of the README for build, tests, and project structure.

Before proposing a change

dotnet build and dotnet test Tests/ChaturbateRecorderApp.Tests.csproj must pass without errors.
No changes to the existing code style without reason (no massive reformatting in a PR that touches something else).
Comments explain the why, not the what — the code already in the repo is the best example to follow.

What's explicitly out of scope (for now)

Authenticode signing of the executable (blocked on a code-signing certificate the maintainer doesn't have).
NativeAOT (not supported by WinForms).
Full translation of error messages/notifications/logs into English (only the main UI is translated for now).

If any of the above matters to you, open an issue anyway to discuss it before coding — it avoids wasted work if the direction doesn't fit.
