Conversation
Splits Package.swift into ProxyLightCore (portable), the existing macOS app target, and a new proxylight-cli target, extracting a plain-Swift ProxyOrchestrator out of AppState so both frontends drive the same start/stop/mapping logic. The CLI is minimal scope: proxy + PAC + CA cert generation only, no system-proxy automation, no CA trust-store install, no login-at-boot, no self-update on Linux. Closes stuartshields#8.

@svandragt Would this also work with Windows Powershell? I don't have a Windows laptop to try it out. |

I would presume not. Windows and Linux are very different. There are free Windows VMs available on Microsoft's site but I'd open a separate issue for that for now, it's not in scope. Powershell the terminal app can run Windows cli executables fine though. Powershell the scripting language has its own syntax so I don't think that's what you mean. If you mean WSL then it might work. Also worth testing in a separate issue |

@svandragt Yeah WSL is what I meant. I agree that we can test this in a different issue. |

Closes #8.
My first thought was just to check whether the existing package builds on Linux, but with everything in one target that was never going to work.
Changes
Package.swiftintoProxyLightCore(portable library — mapping engine, PAC generation, CA/leaf cert generation, the SwiftNIO proxy pipeline, and a newProxyOrchestratorextracted fromAppState), the existing macOS app target, and a newproxylight-cliexecutable target.SystemProxyManager,CATrustManager,SelfUpdater,LoginItemManager,ProxyRestoreStore) moved toSources/ProxyLight/MacOS/. The macOS app's behaviour is unchanged — it now just depends onProxyLightCoreinstead of owning everything directly.proxylight-cli(swift-argument-parser) withstart,mapping add/list/remove,import,export,ca-path.ProxyLightCoreTests(portable) andProxyLightTests(macOS-only).ProxyLightCoreTestspasses on Linux — 86/86, checked against theswift:6.1Docker image.DispatchSourcewas scheduled onDispatchQueue.main, which never drains because the CLI blocks the main thread on a semaphore instead of running a run loop. Moved it to a dedicated queue.Scope
Linux CLI is deliberately minimal, per the issue: no system-proxy automation, no CA trust-store auto-install, no login-at-boot, no self-update.
proxylight startprints the PAC URL and the CA cert path; the user points their browser at the URL and imports the cert by hand.No CI job yet — Linux builds were checked manually via Docker, not wired into GitHub Actions.
