Orchestra is a mature, composable WPF application framework for building line-of-business desktop applications on .NET (net8.0-windows through net10.0-windows). It provides a complete shell infrastructure including splash screens, about dialogs, crash recovery, keyboard shortcut customization, changelog viewers, status bars, busy indicators, and recently-used item management. The framework is built on top of Catel (MVVM, IoC, logging) and integrates with Orc.* libraries for theming, controls, and system information. It offers two shell variants: a Ribbon.Fluent shell using Fluent.Ribbon for rich ribbon UIs, and a TaskRunner shell for simpler task-oriented interfaces. The architecture is modular and service-oriented, with all major features exposed via interfaces (e.g., IShellService, IStatusService, IKeyboardMappingsService) and registered through Microsoft.Extensions.DependencyInjection. The core library (Orchestra.Core) contains the foundational services, while shell-specific packages (Orchestra.Shell.Ribbon.Fluent, Orchestra.Shell.TaskRunner) provide concrete implementations. The framework also includes a shared shell library with recovery services, progress bars, and configuration management. Key entry points include the ShellService for application lifecycle orchestration and the ApplicationInitializationServiceBase for custom startup logic. External dependencies include Catel (7.x), Fluent.Ribbon (11.x), ControlzEx, and several Orc.* packages (Orc.Theming, Orc.Controls, Orc.LogViewer, Orc.SystemInfo). The build system is powered by Cake scripts with support for multiple installer formats (InnoSetup, MSIX, Velopack), code signing, and CI/CD integration. The repository also includes example applications demonstrating both shell variants and a comprehensive test suite with public API verification. Data flows are primarily user-driven: application startup triggers splash screen, configuration loading, shell creation, and keyboard mapping initialization. User interactions (closing, keyboard shortcuts, status updates) are handled through service abstractions. The framework manages local user data (configuration backups, changelog snapshots, recently used items) but does not process external datasets or analytics.
