chore: add push/PR CI, drop unused windows dep, refresh docs

Add a CI workflow running fmt, clippy with warnings denied, and the test
suite on every push and pull request. Remove the unused workspace windows
dependency now that only windows-sys is used. Update the README architecture
name and Java harness reference, clarify the plans gitignore comment, and
carry the code-reviewer agent memory.

+description: Gotchas when verifying content-replacement git history rewrites before a force push (raw message bytes, virtual empty tree, backup ref)
+metadata:
+  type: feedback
+---
+
+When verifying a replayed/rewritten git history before an irreversible force push:
+
+- Compare commit messages as RAW BYTES from `git cat-file commit <sha>` (slice after the first blank line by byte offset). `--format=%B` appends a trailing newline and will mask or fabricate a diff. A prior build in this project was rejected for exactly this.
+- `git fsck` reporting `missing tree 4b825dc642cb6eb9a060e54bf8d69288fbee4904` (the empty tree) is a FALSE POSITIVE. Git special-cases the empty tree, so it is absent from the object DB yet `cat-file -e` succeeds and `pack-objects` still builds a valid pack. Prove push viability with `pack-objects --stdout --revs --thin` rather than trusting fsck.
+- Do not call a chain "linear" from commit count alone. Check `rev-list --min-parents=2`; a preserved segment can legitimately carry an inherited merge commit.
+
+**Why:** these three checks each produce a confident-looking pass/fail that is wrong, and the force push is irreversible.
+
+**How to apply:** on any repo-merge / history-rewrite review. Also confirm the remote backup ref exists via `git ls-remote --heads` BEFORE approving, since it is what keeps the orphaned SHAs alive on GitHub.

+# TimeMocker
+
+A Windows tool that injects fake time into running processes by hooking Win32 time APIs. Written in Rust.
+
+> **Status:** Active development. This is the canonical implementation. Earlier C# (EasyHook) and C++ (MS Detours) ports are preserved in this repo's git history under `csharp/` and `cpp/` (removed from the working tree — their IPC tick epoch is incompatible with this implementation, see below).
+
+## Architecture
+
+```
+time-mocker/
+├── crates/
+│   ├── time-mocker-core/         — shared types (MockTimeInfo) + named MMF helper + tick conversions
+│   ├── time-mocker-hook/         — cdylib injected into target processes; hooks 5 time APIs via retour
+│   ├── time-mocker-test-target/  — console binary that prints all 5 hooked APIs in a loop (dedicated dev target)
+│   └── time-mocker-ui/           — egui controller binary; injects via dll-syringe, writes delta per PID
+```
+
+## Hooked APIs
+
+| API | DLL |
+|-----|-----|
+| `GetSystemTime` | kernel32 |
+| `GetLocalTime` | kernel32 |
+| `GetSystemTimeAsFileTime` | kernel32 |
+| `GetSystemTimePreciseAsFileTime` | kernel32 |
+| `NtQuerySystemTime` | ntdll |
+
+## IPC Design
+
+Named Memory-Mapped File per injected process:
+
+```
+Name: Global\TimeMocker_<PID>   (preferred — requires elevation)
+      Local\TimeMocker_<PID>    (fallback — same-session, unelevated dev)
+Size: 8 bytes
+  [0..7]  DeltaTicks (i64 — 100-ns units, added to the real FILETIME)
+```
+
+The UI tries `Global\` first and falls back to `Local\` on `ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED`
+(i.e. when the controller is not elevated and the token lacks
+`SeCreateGlobalPrivilege`). The hook DLL probes both names. Release builds
+embed a UAC manifest, so they always get `Global\`; debug builds run
+unelevated and use `Local\` for same-session targets.
+
+The hook reads the delta on every time API call and returns `real_filetime + delta`. The controller writes the delta whenever the user picks a new fake time.
+
+> **Tick epoch difference vs the C# version:** The C# version stores a delta against `DateTime.UtcNow.Ticks` (epoch 0001-01-01 UTC). The Rust version stores a delta in raw FILETIME units (epoch 1601-01-01 UTC). The two IPC contracts are not interoperable — the Rust UI and Rust hook DLL only talk to each other.
+
+## Build
+
+```powershell
+# Nightly Rust (required by retour for inline x64 detours)
+# A `rust-toolchain.toml` at the repo root pins the channel automatically.
+cargo build --release
+
+# Outputs:
+#   target/release/time_mocker_ui.exe
+#   target/release/time_mocker_hook.dll   (must be next to the UI exe)
+```
+
+## Requirements
+
+- Windows 10/11 x64
+- Rust nightly (pinned via `rust-toolchain.toml`)
+- Release build: must run as Administrator (UAC manifest embedded; needed for `Global\` MMF and cross-session injection)
+- Debug build (`cargo run`): runs unelevated; falls back to `Local\` namespace — same-session targets only
+
+## Dev workflow: test target
+
+Inject into a dedicated harness instead of arbitrary running processes:
+
+```powershell
+# Terminal 1 — start the target, note the PID it prints
+cargo run -p time-mocker-test-target
+
+# Terminal 2 — start the UI; type that PID into "Inject by PID"
+cargo build --workspace ; cargo run -p time-mocker-ui
+```
+
+The target prints all 5 hooked APIs (`GetSystemTime`, `GetLocalTime`,
+`GetSystemTimeAsFileTime`, `GetSystemTimePreciseAsFileTime`,
+`NtQuerySystemTime`) every second. When the hook is loaded and you set a
+fake time in the UI, all five rows shift by the same delta — that's your
+proof the hook is live.

-# CLAUDE.md
-
-This file provides guidance to Claude Code (claude.ai/code) when working with code in this repository.
-
-## Project Overview
-
-TimeMocker is a Windows application that injects fake time into running processes by hooking Win32 time APIs. It consists of a WinForms UI controller and an EasyHook-based DLL that gets injected into target processes.
-
-## Build Commands
-
-```bash
-# Build the solution (x64 only)
-dotnet build TimeMocker.sln -c Release -p:Platform=x64
-
-# Build Debug configuration
-dotnet build TimeMocker.sln -c Debug -p:Platform=x64
-
-# Clean and rebuild
-dotnet clean TimeMocker.sln && dotnet build TimeMocker.sln -c Release -p:Platform=x64
-```
-
-**Important**: This is an x64-only project. The solution only has x64 platform configurations. Building for x86 or AnyCPU will fail.
-
-**Output locations**:
-- UI exe: `TimeMocker.UI/bin/x64/Release/net48/TimeMocker.exe`
-- Hook DLL: `TimeMocker.UI/bin/x64/Release/net48/TimeMocker.Hook.dll`
-
-The hook DLL must be next to the UI exe (automatically copied via ProjectReference).
-
-## Architecture

-    └── InjectionEntryPoint.cs      — Hooks 5 Win32 time APIs via EasyHook
-```
-
-### IPC Design
-
-The fake time is stored in a **named Memory-Mapped File** (one per injected process):
-
-- Name format: `TimeMocker_<PID>`
-- Size: 12 bytes (`Marshal.SizeOf<MockTimeInfo>()`)
-- Layout:
-  - `[0..7]` FakeUtcTicks (Int64 — DateTime.Ticks)
-  - `[8..11]` Enabled (Int32 — 0=passthrough, 1=mock)
-
-The hook reads this on every time API call (~50 ns read, no syscall). The UI writes via `SharedMemoryManager.Write()`.
-
-### Hooked APIs
-
-| API | DLL |
-|-----|-----|
-| `GetSystemTime` | kernel32 |
-| `GetLocalTime` | kernel32 |
-| `GetSystemTimeAsFileTime` | kernel32 |
-| `GetSystemTimePreciseAsFileTime` | kernel32 |
-| `NtQuerySystemTime` | ntdll |
-
-All hooked functions share the same `GetFakeUtc()` logic which reads from shared memory and either returns the fake time or real `DateTime.UtcNow` depending on the Enabled flag.
-
-### Auto-Inject Pattern Matching
-
-The `ProcessWatcher` supports both glob and regex patterns for matching process paths or names:
-
-- Glob: `C:\Games\MyGame\*` or `*chrome*` (converted to regex internally)
-- Regex: `^.*\\MyApp\.exe$`
-
-Patterns are matched against both the full process path (`MainModule.FileName`) and process name (`ProcessName`).
-
-## Key Components
-
-### InjectionManager
-
-- Manages the dictionary of injected processes (`Dictionary<int, InjectedProcess>`)
-- Uses `RemoteHooking.Inject()` to inject `TimeMocker.Hook.dll` into target processes
-- Creates a `SharedMemoryManager` instance per process for IPC
-- Handles eject by disabling the mock (setting Enabled=0) before disposing shared memory
-
-### SharedMemoryManager
-
-- Creates a named memory-mapped file using `MemoryMappedFile.CreateOrOpen()`
-- `MockTimeInfo` struct is blittable (sequential layout) for direct memory write
-- Must be disposed when process is ejected
-
-### ProcessWatcher
-
-- Polls running processes every ~1.5 seconds (configurable)
-- Tracks seen process IDs to avoid duplicate injections
-- Auto-injects when a process matches any enabled rule
-- Uses current `FakeUtc` and `MockEnabled` settings at injection time
-
-### InjectionEntryPoint (Hook DLL)
-
-- Implements `IEntryPoint` from EasyHook
-- `Run()` method opens the named MMF, installs hooks, and keeps alive with a sleep loop
-- Uses `LocalHook.Create()` with thread ACL set to exclude thread 0 (all threads)
-- Hook delegates read the shared memory on each call (hot path optimized)
-- Logs errors to `%TEMP%\TimeMocker.Hook.log`
-
-## Development Notes
-
-- **Target Framework**: .NET Framework 4.8 (pre-installed on Windows 10+)
-- **Unsafe Code**: Both projects use `AllowUnsafeBlocks=true` for memory-mapped file operations
-- **Dependencies**: EasyHook 2.7.7030.0 (available via NuGet)
-- **Language Version**: C# 8
-
-### Limitations
-
-- **64-bit only**: 32-bit processes require a separate 32-bit hook DLL build
-- **No hot-unload support**: EasyHook doesn't fully support DLL ejection; disable mock instead
-- **Protected processes**: Anti-cheat services (Epic, BattlEye, etc.) will block injection
-- **QueryPerformanceCounter**: Not affected (hardware register, cannot be hooked via EasyHook)
-
-### Time Epoch
-
-FILETIME epoch is January 1, 1601 (UTC). Hooked functions returning FILETIME convert from DateTime.Ticks using:
-```csharp
-var epoch = new DateTime(1601, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, DateTimeKind.Utc);
-long fileTimeTicks = (fakeUtc - epoch).Ticks;
-```
-
-## Common Tasks
-
-### Add a new time API hook
-1. Add the hook delegate in `InjectionEntryPoint.cs` with `[UnmanagedFunctionPointer(CallingConvention.StdCall)]`
-2. Add a `LocalHook` field for the hook handle
-3. Create the hook in `InstallHooks()` using `LocalHook.GetProcAddress(dllName, functionName)`
-4. Implement the hook function that calls `GetFakeUtc()` and returns the appropriate format
-
-### Modify auto-inject polling interval
-Pass a different interval to `ProcessWatcher.Start(int pollIntervalMs)` when enabling the watcher in `MainForm.cs`.
-
-### Debug hook DLL
-The hook writes errors to `%TEMP%\TimeMocker.Hook.log`. For more detailed debugging, you may need to attach a debugger to the target process after injection.

-# TimeMocker
-
-A Windows application that injects fake time into running processes by hooking Win32 time APIs.
-
-## Architecture
-
-```
-TimeMocker.sln
-├── TimeMocker.UI        — WinForms controller app (run as Admin)
-│   ├── Forms/MainForm   — UI: process list with inject toggle, time picker, pattern manager
-│   ├── Core/InjectionManager  — EasyHook-based injector per process
-│   ├── Core/ProcessWatcher    — background scanner for auto-inject patterns
-│   └── Core/SharedMemoryManager — named MMF shared with the hook DLL
-│
-└── TimeMocker.Hook      — DLL injected into target processes
-    └── InjectionEntryPoint — hooks 5 Win32 time functions via EasyHook
-```
-
-## Hooked APIs
-
-| API | DLL |
-|-----|-----|
-| `GetSystemTime` | kernel32 |
-| `GetLocalTime`  | kernel32 |
-| `GetSystemTimeAsFileTime` | kernel32 |
-| `GetSystemTimePreciseAsFileTime` | kernel32 |
-| `NtQuerySystemTime` | ntdll |
-
-## Requirements
-
-- **Windows 10/11 x64**
-- **.NET Framework 4.8** (pre-installed on Win10+)
-- **Visual Studio 2022** or `dotnet build`
-- Must run as **Administrator** (UAC prompt shown automatically)
-
-## Build
-
-```bash
-# Clone / extract the solution
-cd TimeMocker
-dotnet restore
-dotnet build -c Release -p:Platform=x64
-
-# Outputs go to:
-#   TimeMocker.UI/bin/x64/Release/net48/TimeMocker.exe
-#   TimeMocker.UI/bin/x64/Release/net48/TimeMocker.Hook.dll   ← must be next to .exe
-```
-
-> In Visual Studio: open `TimeMocker.sln`, set platform to **x64**, build solution.
-
-## Usage
-
-### Manual Injection
-
-1. Launch `TimeMocker.exe` (UAC will prompt for elevation)
-2. Set the desired date/time in the **Mock Time Settings** bar at the top
-3. Click **Set** to apply the time to all injected processes
-4. Go to the **Processes** tab
-5. Find your target process in the list (use Search if needed)
-6. Check the **Injected** checkbox next to the process
-7. The target process now sees your fake time immediately
-8. To stop mocking for a process, simply uncheck the **Injected** checkbox
-
-### Auto-Inject Rules
-
-The auto-inject watcher starts automatically when TimeMocker launches. Any process matching a rule will be injected automatically.
-
-1. Go to the **Auto-Inject Rules** tab
-2. Enter a pattern matching the process path or name, e.g.:
-   - Glob: `C:\Games\MyGame\*`
-   - Glob by name: `*chrome*`
-   - Regex: `^.*\\MyApp\.exe$`
-3. Select **Glob** or **Regex** pattern type
-4. Click **+ Add Rule**
-5. Any process that starts (or is already running) matching the rule gets injected automatically with the current mock time
-
-### Time Flow
-
-TimeMocker uses a **delta-based** approach. When you set a fake time, it calculates the offset between your desired time and the current real time. This offset is stored and applied continuously, so the fake time flows forward naturally at the same rate as real time.
-
-- Click **Now** to reset the date/time pickers to current time
-- Click **Set** to apply the selected time to all injected processes
-- The offset is recalculated each time you click **Set**
-
-### Process List
-
-- Only user processes are shown (system processes are filtered out)
-- Click **⟳ Refresh** to reload the process list
-- Dead processes are automatically removed from the injected processes list
-
-## IPC Design
-
-The time offset is stored in a **named Memory-Mapped File** (one per injected process):
-
-```
-Name: TimeMocker_<PID>
-Size: 8 bytes
-  [0..7]  DeltaTicks (Int64 — offset from DateTime.UtcNow.Ticks)
-```
-
-The hook reads this on every time API call and returns `DateTime.UtcNow + DeltaTicks`. This design allows the fake time to flow naturally without requiring timer-based updates from the UI.
-
-## Notes & Limitations
-
-- **64-bit only** — 32-bit processes require a separate 32-bit hook DLL build
-- Processes using `QueryPerformanceCounter` for *monotonic* timing are not affected
-  (QPC is a hardware register; patching it is unsupported by EasyHook)
-- Anti-cheat or heavily protected processes (Epic, BattlEye, etc.) will block injection
-- Some .NET apps read time through the CLR, which internally calls the hooked APIs — these *will* be affected
-- EasyHook does not fully support hot-eject; to restore real time, uncheck the **Injected** checkbox
-- Mocked time is always enabled — there is no passthrough mode

+# time-mocker-target
+
+Java test target for [time-mocker](https://github.com/tiennm99/time-mocker) — validates injected fake time behavior.
+
+## Quick start
+
+```bash
+./gradlew run
+```
+
+Run alongside `time-mocker` to verify that system time injection works correctly.
+
+## Expected behavior
+
+**Without time-mocker** — prints actual current time, ticking every second:
+
+```
+2025-01-15T08:30:01
+2025-01-15T08:30:02
+2025-01-15T08:30:03
+```
+
+**With time-mocker injecting a fake date** (e.g. 2000-06-15T12:00:00) — the same binary prints the mocked time instead:
+
+```
+2000-06-15T12:00:01
+2000-06-15T12:00:02
+2000-06-15T12:00:03
+```
+
+If the output reflects the injected date rather than real system time, the injection is working correctly.
