Removes Excel as an output format option and adds an in-GUI equivalent of New-AsBuiltConfig so users can generate the global AsBuiltReport configuration file without leaving the window.

Removed

  • Excel output format — checkbox and all related code dropped from the Output Formats section and the generate callback.

Added: AsBuiltReport Config File row

A new row in the Report Configuration section provides three controls:

Control Behaviour
TextBox Path to an existing or freshly-generated AsBuiltReport.json
Browse OpenFileDialog to pick an existing config
Generate Config... Opens a second Avalonia window — the wizard

When a valid path is present at report-generation time, it is passed to New-AsBuiltReport as -AsBuiltConfigFilePath. If the path is set but the file is missing, a warning is logged and generation continues without it.

Added: Generate Config wizard window

Mirrors the fields collected by New-AsBuiltConfig:

  • Report Information — Author (pre-filled with current username)
  • Company Information — Full Name, Short Name, Contact, Email, Phone, Address
  • Email / SMTP Settings (optional) — Server, Port, From, To (comma-separated), Use SSL/TLS, Requires Credentials

On Save Config the wizard:

  1. Creates the target directory if it does not exist
  2. Writes a JSON file matching the schema expected by New-AsBuiltReport -AsBuiltConfigFilePath
  3. Propagates the saved path back into the main window's config textbox and closes

Docs

  • Start-AsBuiltReportGui.ps1 .DESCRIPTION updated (Excel removed, wizard documented)
  • README.md GUI feature table updated accordingly
