Purpose

This manifest defines how WinForms migration references map to full API lookup surfaces in this repository.

Use it when you need to move from pattern guidance to exact API signatures.

Coverage Contract

For this repository, practical completeness is provided by combining:

1. migration recipes in this lane (00-38),
2. per-control docs in ../controls/README.md,
3. generated signature index in ../api-index-generated.md.

Avalonia API Coverage Path

Primary lookup references:

• controls index: ../52-controls-reference-catalog.md
• generated control docs: ../controls/README.md
• signatures: ../api-index-generated.md

Useful signature queries:

rg -n "TopLevel|IClassicDesktopStyleApplicationLifetime|Window" references/api-index-generated.md
rg -n "Grid|GridSplitter|DockPanel|WrapPanel|RelativePanel" references/api-index-generated.md
rg -n "Dispatcher|DispatcherTimer|KeyBinding|KeyGesture" references/api-index-generated.md
rg -n "IStorageProvider|OpenFilePickerAsync|SaveFilePickerAsync|OpenFolderPickerAsync" references/api-index-generated.md
rg -n "DataValidationErrors|AutomationProperties|FlowDirection" references/api-index-generated.md

Validation Workflow

Run after significant migration-reference updates:

python3 scripts/find_uncovered_apis.py --output plan/api-coverage-not-covered.md
python3 -m unittest scripts.test_find_uncovered_apis

How to Use This Manifest

1. pick the migration topic doc (00-38),
2. confirm concrete APIs via control docs and generated index,
3. validate against pinned Avalonia 11.3.12 behavior before adopting patterns.
