This PR enhances the Player2 integration by adding automatic detection of the Player2 desktop application, providing users with two convenient options for Player2 authentication:
🎯 Automatic (Recommended): Zero-config experience via local Player2 app
🔑 Manual: Traditional API key method via web tool
Changes Made
Core Implementation
Player2Client.cs: Added CreateAsync() factory method with local app detection
ApiConfig.cs: Modified IsValid() to allow Player2 without manual API key
Settings.cs: Added immediate status feedback when Player2 is selected
AIClientFactory.cs: Updated to use new async Player2 client creation
User Experience Improvements
Immediate feedback: Users get instant notification about Player2 app status
Clear messaging: Distinct notifications for successful detection vs. setup needed
Graceful fallback: Seamlessly falls back to manual API key if app unavailable
Zero-config option: When Player2 app is running, no manual setup required
Local detection: Health check to localhost:4315 with 2-second timeout
Authentication: Uses Player2's web login endpoint for local app integration
Health checks: Optimized to only run for remote connections
Game Client ID: Maintains existing 019a8368-b00b-72bc-b367-2825079dc6fb
Backward compatibility: Existing Player2 setups continue working unchanged
Benefits
✅ Better UX: Automatic setup reduces friction for new users
✅ Reduced support: Fewer API key related questions and issues
✅ Modern approach: Leverages Player2's intended local app experience
✅ Flexible: Maintains manual option for users who prefer it
✅ Professional: Clear status feedback and error handling
Testing
Local Player2 app detection works correctly
Fallback to manual API key functions properly
Settings show immediate status feedback
Backward compatibility maintained
Error handling for various scenarios
Health checks work for both local and remote connections
Screenshots/Demo
Users will see:
✅ "Player2 desktop app detected and ready for use!" (when app running)
⚠️ "Player2 desktop app not detected. Install Player2 app or add API key manually." (when app not available)
Note: This enhancement makes Player2 significantly more user-friendly while maintaining full backward compatibility. Users can choose the method that works best for their setup.
