MasterBooter Side Project Howard's personal side project at C:\MasterBooter — Windows deployment toolkit, separate from client/MSP work. Do not mix with clients/ content. project

MasterBooter is Howard's personal Rust + Slint Windows deployment toolkit at C:\MasterBooter. Single-portable-EXE targeting IT/MSP/repair-shop techs. Four modes: Backup/Restore, Windows Deploy, WinPE Builder (WinRE-based), System Prep. Public GitHub repo: Howweird/Masterbooter.

Why: Side project separate from Arizona Computer Guru client work. Howard is learning Rust through it — code is heavily commented by design. Not a commercial product yet, no paying customers.

How to apply:

  • When Howard mentions MasterBooter, WinPE builder, winpe.rs, deploy.rs, etc., context is C:\MasterBooter, NOT the clients/ folder in ClaudeTools.
  • Don't log MasterBooter sessions to clients/ — they are personal project work, not customer engagements.
  • Project has its own C:\MasterBooter\CLAUDE.md with its own rules. Follow those when in that directory.
  • Heavy comments are intentional (learning), not tech debt.

Key docs in C:\MasterBooter:

  • VISION.md — goals, 4 modes
  • REQUIREMENTS.md — feature tracking (sections 1-10 complete, Section 11 added 2026-04-17 with F1-F25 planned)
  • DECISIONS.md — ADRs (ADR-001 through ADR-014, Rust/Slint switch is ADR-005)
  • EXPANSION_PLAN.md — full roadmap added 2026-04-17, phased execution plan
  • TODO_CLEANUP.md — refactor backlog from March 2026 code review
  • CHANGELOG.md — actively maintained

Current status (2026-04-17): v0.2.1 released. Phase 1 reliability work starting — logging, tempfile, DISM /English, quick-xml, tests, CLI, GHA. Then 26 new features (F1-F25) across 4 tiers + tool swaps.

Reference programs Howard studies for ideas (all in C:\Users\howar\ClaudeSourceFiles\ or C:\):

  • AMPIPIT (C:\AMPIPIT) — primary Rust+Slint reference
  • GhostWin — Rust WIM/deploy reference
  • d7x (C:\Users\howar\ClaudeSourceFiles\d7x) — MSP tool catalog inspiration (55+ bundled tools)
  • Windows Setup Helper, Unattend Generator, SysprepPreparator, PhoenixPE
