+# P2P Chat Codebase Guide for Agents
+
+This document outlines the development workflow, code style, and architectural patterns for the `p2p-chat` repository.
+
+## 1. Build, Test, and Run Commands
+
+### Basic Commands
+*   **Build**: `cargo build`
+*   **Run TUI (default)**: `cargo run`
+*   **Run GUI**: `cargo run -- --gui`
+*   **Check**: `cargo check`
+*   **Format**: `cargo fmt`
+*   **Lint**: `cargo clippy`
+
+### Testing
+*   **Run all tests**: `cargo test`
+*   **Run a specific test**: `cargo test test_name`
+*   **Run tests with output**: `cargo test -- --nocapture`
+
+### Debugging
+*   **Logs**:
+    *   TUI mode logs to `p2p-chat.log` in the working directory.
+    *   GUI mode logs to `stdout` (INFO/DEBUG) and `stderr` (WARN/ERROR).
+*   **Environment Variables**:
+    *   `RUST_LOG`: Control logging levels (e.g., `RUST_LOG=p2p_chat=debug,iroh=info`).
+
+## 2. Code Style & Architecture
+
+### General Rust Guidelines
+*   **Edition**: Rust 2021.
+*   **Formatting**: Strictly follow `rustfmt`.
+*   **Error Handling**: Use `anyhow::Result` for application-level errors and main functions. Use specific `thiserror` enums for libraries/modules when precise error handling is required.
+*   **Async/Await**: The project is built on the `tokio` runtime. Use `async/await` for I/O-bound tasks.
+
+### Project Structure
+*   `src/main.rs`: Application entry point, runtime setup, and main event loop.
+*   `src/app_logic.rs`: Core business logic (`AppLogic` struct). Handles network events and application commands. It is agnostic of the UI (TUI vs. GUI).
+*   `src/gui.rs`: Iced-based GUI implementation following the Elm architecture (Model-View-Update).
+*   `src/tui/`: Ratatui-based TUI implementation.
+*   `src/net/`: Networking layer wrapping `iroh` and `iroh-gossip`.
+*   `src/media/`: Audio/Video capture and playback (GStreamer, cpal, FFmpeg).
+*   `src/protocol/`: Data structures and serialization (`serde`, `bincode`, `postcard`) for network messages.
+
+### Naming Conventions
+*   **Variables/Functions**: `snake_case`.
+*   **Types/Traits**: `CamelCase`.
+*   **Constants**: `SCREAMING_SNAKE_CASE`.
+*   **Files**: `snake_case.rs`.
+
+### Architectural Patterns
+1.  **State Management**:
+    *   `AppLogic` holds the source of truth for application state (`ChatState`, `MediaState`, `NetworkManager`, etc.).
+    *   `FrontendState` is a simplified struct derived from `AppLogic` to pass data to the UI (GUI/TUI) for rendering.
+    *   Do not put core business logic inside `gui.rs` or `tui/`.
+
+2.  **Concurrency**:
+    *   Use `tokio::spawn` for background tasks.
+    *   Use `tokio::sync::mpsc` channels for communicating between the UI and the backend logic.
+    *   Use `tokio::sync::broadcast` for one-to-many event distribution (e.g., video frames).
+    *   Use `Arc<Mutex<...>>` or `Arc<Atomic...>` for shared state when channels are insufficient, but prefer message passing.
+
+3.  **GUI (Iced)**:
+    *   **Messages**: Define all UI interactions in the `Message` enum in `src/gui.rs`.
+    *   **Update**: Handle `Message`s in the `update` function.
+    *   **View**: Keep the `view` function strictly for rendering based on `self.state`.
+    *   **Subscriptions**: Use `subscription` to listen for external events (e.g., backend state updates, video frames).
+
+4.  **Networking**:
+    *   Based on `iroh` QUIC.
+    *   Events are received in the main loop and processed by `AppLogic::handle_net_event`.
+
+### Dependencies
+*   **Networking**: `iroh`, `iroh-gossip`.
+*   **Runtime**: `tokio`.
+*   **UI**: `iced` (GUI), `ratatui` + `crossterm` (TUI).
+*   **Media**: `gstreamer` (video capture), `cpal` (audio I/O), `ffmpeg-next` (video encoding).
+
+### Common Tasks
+*   **Adding a new feature**:
+    1.  Update `protocol/mod.rs` if it involves new network messages.
+    2.  Update `AppLogic` to handle the logic.
+    3.  Update `FrontendState` to expose data to the UI.
+    4.  Update `gui.rs` and `tui/` to render the new state.

+# P2P Chat & File Transfer
+
+A secure, serverless peer-to-peer chat application built with Rust and iroh.
+
+## Features
+
+- **Decentralized**: No central server; peers connect directly via QUIC and NAT traversal.
+- **Commands**:
+  - `/connect <peer_id>`: Connect to a peer.
+  - `/nick <name>`: Set your display name.
+  - `/file <path>`: Send a file.
+  - `/accept <file_id_prefix>`: Accept a file transfer.
+  - `/mic`: Select microphone input.
+  - `/speaker`: Select speaker output.
+  - `/bitrate <kbps>`: Set audio bitrate.
+- **Cross-Platform**: Works on Linux, Windows, and macOS.
+  - File sharing supported on all platforms.
+  - Voice/Screen share (Linux only for now, requires PipeWire).
+
+## Installation
+
+1. Install Rust: https://rustup.rs/
+2. Clone the repo:
+   ```bash
+   git clone https://github.com/yourusername/p2p-chat.git
+   cd p2p-chat
+   ```
+3. Build & Run:
+   ```bash
+   cargo run --release
+   ```
+
+## Usage
+
+1. **Start the app**. You will see your **Peer ID** in the top bar.
+2. **Share your Peer ID** with a friend.
+3. **Connect**: Type `/connect <friend_peer_id>`.
+4. **Chat**: Type messages and press Enter.
+5. **Send Files**:
+   - Type `/file` to open a file picker.
+   - Or `/file /path/to/file` to send immediately.
+   - The recipient must type `/accept <file_id>` (or click accept if TUI supports mouse).
+
+## Configuration
+
+Configuration is stored in:
+- Linux: `~/.config/p2p-chat/config.toml`
+- Windows: `%APPDATA%\p2p-chat\config.toml`
+- macOS: `~/Library/Application Support/p2p-chat/config.toml`
+
+You can customize colors, default resolution, interface, etc.

-//! - Playback: receives Opus packets from QUIC, decodes, feeds to PipeWire output.
