**Hard layering rules:**
- `domain/` depends on nothing in the project.
- `infra/` depends only on `domain/`.
- `service/` depends on `domain/` + `infra/`.
- `ui/` depends only on `service/` + `domain/` — must not include `<arpa/inet.h>`, `<sys/socket.h>`, `<pthread.h>`, or call `recv`/`send` directly.
- `app/` (MainApplication, main.cpp) wires everything together.

## Key Types
### `nxst::TransferService` (`include/nxst/service/transfer_service.hpp`)
Owns all network state for both transfer directions. One instance lives in `MainApplication`.
| Method | Description |
|--------|-------------|
| `startSend(index, uid)` | Backup save, discover receiver, stream files |
| `startReceive(index, uid, title_name)` | Listen for sender, receive files, restore save |
| `cancelSend()` / `cancelReceive()` | Interrupt in-flight transfer (socket shutdown) |
| `isSendDone()` / `isReceiveDone()` | Polled by UI render loop |
| `restoreSucceeded()` / `restoreError()` | Restore outcome after receive |
**Threading model:**
```
UI thread (Plutonium event loop)
└─ startSend()
└─ senderEntry [pthread, detached]
├─ findServer() — UDP multicast, 100 ms poll slices
├─ io::backup() — creates local save backup
└─ TCP send loop
└─ startReceive()
├─ broadcastEntry [pthread, detached] — UDP multicast listener
└─ acceptEntry [pthread, detached]
├─ TCP receive loop
└─ io::restore() — mounts save, clears, copies, commits
```
Cancellation: `cancelSend()` / `cancelReceive()` call `shutdown(SHUT_RDWR)` on all open sockets. Blocking `read`/`recvfrom`/`accept` return errors immediately. Atomic flags are checked at loop boundaries.
### `nxst::Result<T, E>` (`include/nxst/domain/result.hpp`)
85-line tagged-union result type. No exceptions, no `std::variant`. Used for `io::backup` and `io::restore` return values.
```cpp
auto result = io::backup(title_index, uid);
if (!result.isOk()) {
failSend("Backup failed: " + result.error());
return;
}
fs::path dir = result.value();
```
`Result<void, E>` specialisation available for operations that succeed without a value.
### `nxst::FsFileSystemHandle` / `nxst::FileHandle` (`include/nxst/infra/fs/handles.hpp`)
RAII wrappers ensuring `fsFsClose` / `fclose` are called on all exit paths.
---
## Threading Invariants
- All `std::atomic` members in `TransferService` use sequential-consistency (default). No explicit `memory_order` needed at this concurrency level.
- `TransferState::status` is a `std::string` protected by `std::mutex status_mutex`. All other `TransferState` fields are atomics.
- `pthread_create` + `pthread_detach` is used throughout (libnx's supported path). Threads are never joined — they signal completion via `state.done = true` and set their active flag to false.
- Cancel is safe to call from any thread.

## Build
```bash
# Configure (once — toolchain preset reads $DEVKITPRO automatically)
cmake --preset switch
# Build
cmake --build build
# Send to Switch via nxlink
cmake --build build --target send
```
