Backend libraries — runtime (src/)

Every PackageReference in src/WorkWingman.Api, src/WorkWingman.Core, and src/WorkWingman.Infrastructure.

Package What it's for Docs Source
Flurl.Http Fluent, testable HTTP client used by every outbound API adapter (SEC EDGAR, WARN/Socrata, and every insights-branch source). https://flurl.dev/ https://github.com/tmenier/Flurl
HtmlAgilityPack HTML parsing/DOM traversal for ATS scraping (Greenhouse, Lever, Workday, etc.) and any HTML-shaped source without a JSON API. https://html-agility-pack.net/ https://github.com/zzzprojects/html-agility-pack
Microsoft.Playwright (.NET) Browser automation that drives real ATS application flows (fills forms, clicks through multi-page apply flows) and backs the scraper-automation learning labs. https://playwright.dev/dotnet/ https://github.com/microsoft/playwright-dotnet
Polly Resilience pipelines (retry with backoff, timeout, circuit breaker) wrapping every outbound HTTP call via ResiliencePipelines.Default. https://www.pollydocs.org/ https://github.com/App-vNext/Polly
ClosedXML Generates the local .xlsx export for the data-backup feature — no cloud round-trip for the spreadsheet itself. https://github.com/ClosedXML/ClosedXML/wiki https://github.com/ClosedXML/ClosedXML
DocumentFormat.OpenXml Renders the tailored resume / cover letter into real Word (.docx) files (DocxWriter) so the apply engines can attach a document by file path — see document-generation.md. Fully local; no template server. https://learn.microsoft.com/office/open-xml/open-xml-sdk https://github.com/dotnet/Open-XML-SDK
Microsoft.Extensions.Configuration.Abstractions IConfiguration abstraction used by the YouTube Data API / iTunes Search adapters to read the config-gated YouTube API key without a hard dependency on the full configuration stack. https://learn.microsoft.com/dotnet/core/extensions/configuration https://github.com/dotnet/runtime
Microsoft.Extensions.Logging.Abstractions ILogger<T> interfaces only — no sink, no provider. Lets WorkWingman.Infrastructure log (ResearchService, DataPortabilityService, JobQueueService, LinkedInJobsScraper, JobFitAnalyzer) while the host, not the library, decides where the logs actually go. Same abstractions-only reasoning as the Configuration row above. https://learn.microsoft.com/dotnet/core/extensions/logging https://github.com/dotnet/runtime
KPCLib KeePass-compatible .kdbx library backing the real credential vault (KeePassVaultService) — reads/writes the encrypted key database on the user's Desktop, no cloud round-trip. https://github.com/passxyz/KPCLib https://github.com/passxyz/KPCLib
System.Security.Cryptography.ProtectedData DPAPI (CurrentUser) protection for secrets that must hit disk before the .kdbx vault is unlocked — e.g. the OAuth token cache. https://learn.microsoft.com/dotnet/api/system.security.cryptography.protecteddata https://github.com/dotnet/runtime

Note: the .kdbx vault (KeePassVaultService) is backed by the KPCLib NuGet package (above); the KeePassXC reference under "Dependency doctor toolchain" below is the format-spec/tooling reference, not the runtime library.

Backend libraries — test (tests/WorkWingman.Tests/)

Every PackageReference in tests/WorkWingman.Tests/WorkWingman.Tests.csproj.

Package What it's for Docs Source
Bogus Fake/realistic test-data generation (Bogus/faker convention across the test mandate). https://github.com/bchavez/Bogus
coverlet.collector Cross-platform code-coverage collector wired into dotnet test. https://github.com/coverlet-coverage/coverlet https://github.com/coverlet-coverage/coverlet
Flurl.Http Same HTTP client as the runtime dependency, referenced directly in tests to assert against HttpTest fixtures. https://flurl.dev/ https://github.com/tmenier/Flurl

Microsoft.NET.Test.Sdk The .NET test SDK/runner that xUnit plugs into. https://learn.microsoft.com/dotnet/core/testing/ https://github.com/microsoft/vstest
NSubstitute Mocking library for interfaces (ILayoffSourceAdapter, every I*SourceAdapter seam) — 100%-mocked-coverage mandate. https://nsubstitute.github.io/ https://github.com/nsubstitute/NSubstitute
xunit Test framework — every *Tests.cs file in the suite. https://xunit.net/ https://github.com/xunit/xunit
xunit.runner.visualstudio VS/dotnet test discovery adapter for xUnit. https://xunit.net/docs/getting-started/v2/visual-studio https://github.com/xunit/visualstudio.xunit

Frontend — runtime dependencies (frontend/package.json)

Package What it's for Docs Source
@angular/common Angular common directives/pipes/services (NgIf, NgFor, HttpClient support, etc.). https://angular.dev/api/common https://github.com/angular/angular
@angular/compiler Angular template compiler, used at build/JIT time. https://angular.dev/overview https://github.com/angular/angular
@angular/core Angular's core framework (components, DI, signals, change detection). https://angular.dev https://github.com/angular/angular
@angular/forms Reactive/template-driven forms used across the profile/settings screens. https://angular.dev/guide/forms https://github.com/angular/angular
@angular/platform-browser Browser rendering bootstrap for the Angular app shell (loaded inside Electron's renderer). https://angular.dev https://github.com/angular/angular
@angular/router Client-side routing between the app's views. https://angular.dev/guide/routing https://github.com/angular/angular
rxjs Reactive streams underpinning Angular's HttpClient, the resilience interceptor, and async state. https://rxjs.dev https://github.com/ReactiveX/rxjs
tslib Shared TypeScript helper runtime (reduces per-file emit boilerplate). https://www.typescriptlang.org/ https://github.com/microsoft/tslib

Frontend — dev dependencies (frontend/package.json)

Package What it's for Docs Source
@analogjs/vite-plugin-angular Vite plugin that lets Angular components/templates compile under Vite/Vitest instead of the webpack-based Angular test runner. https://analogjs.org/docs/packages/vite-plugin-angular/overview https://github.com/analogjs/analog
@angular-eslint/schematics The schematics ng add angular-eslint installs to wire ESLint into an Angular workspace. Nothing in this repo invokes it: angular.json defines no lint target and npm run lint calls the eslint CLI directly. It is what the ng add left behind — listed here because the gate reads package.json, not because anything depends on it. https://github.com/angular-eslint/angular-eslint/tree/main/packages/schematics https://github.com/angular-eslint/angular-eslint
@angular/build Angular's Vite/esbuild-based build system (ng build/ng serve). https://angular.dev/tools/cli/build-system-migration https://github.com/angular/angular-cli
@angular/cli The ng command-line tool (scaffolding, build, serve, test). https://angular.dev/tools/cli https://github.com/angular/angular-cli
@angular/compiler-cli Ahead-of-time template compiler used by the CLI build pipeline. https://angular.dev https://github.com/angular/angular
@eslint/js ESLint's own recommended JavaScript rules — eslint.configs.recommended, the base layer frontend/eslint.config.js extends before the TypeScript and Angular layers go on top. https://eslint.org/docs/latest/use/configure/configuration-files https://github.com/eslint/eslint
@faker-js/faker Fake/realistic test-data generation for frontend unit tests (Bogus/faker convention, frontend half). https://fakerjs.dev/ https://github.com/faker-js/faker
@stryker-mutator/core Mutation-testing engine — verifies frontend unit tests actually catch injected bugs, not just cover lines. https://stryker-mutator.io/docs/stryker-js/ https://github.com/stryker-mutator/stryker-js
@stryker-mutator/vitest-runner Vitest test-runner plugin for StrykerJS. https://stryker-mutator.io/docs/stryker-js/vitest-runner/ https://github.com/stryker-mutator/stryker-js
angular-eslint The Angular-aware layer of frontend/eslint.config.js: tsRecommended rules, processInlineTemplates (so inline component templates get linted, not skipped), and for **/*.html both templateRecommended and templateAccessibility. Its a11y template rules cover some of the same ground as the axe-core WCAG gates — but only for whoever runs npm run lint, which nothing enforces (see the eslint row). Treat it as a local head-start on those gates, not a substitute: the CI a11y sweeps are what actually block. https://github.com/angular-eslint/angular-eslint#readme https://github.com/angular-eslint/angular-eslint
eslint The linter itself. npm run lint runs eslint "src/**/*.ts" "src/**/*.html" against the frontend, configured by the flat config in frontend/eslint.config.js. Note it is NOT a CI gate today — no workflow job invokes it, so it only runs when someone runs it. https://eslint.org/docs/latest/ https://github.com/eslint/eslint
jsdom Headless DOM implementation Vitest runs component tests against. https://github.com/jsdom/jsdom https://github.com/jsdom/jsdom
prettier Code formatter for the frontend source tree. https://prettier.io/docs/ https://github.com/prettier/prettier
typescript The TypeScript compiler Angular and Vitest both build against. https://www.typescriptlang.org/docs/ https://github.com/microsoft/TypeScript
typescript-eslint TypeScript parser + rules for ESLint, and the tseslint.config() helper the whole flat config is built with (tseslint.configs.recommended). Without it ESLint cannot read .ts at all — it only speaks JavaScript. https://typescript-eslint.io/ https://github.com/typescript-eslint/typescript-eslint
vitest Frontend unit-test runner (replaces Karma/Jasmine), integrates with @analogjs/vite-plugin-angular. https://vitest.dev https://github.com/vitest-dev/vitest

External data sources & APIs

Every external API/data source the app calls or has a committed adapter for. Landed on master rows are live in src/ today. Feature branch rows exist on an unmerged branch (see the branch column) — documented here now so the reference map stays complete as those branches land; they are not reachable from master yet.
