## 🎯 Response Format Compatibility

### APK Expects:
```json
{
  "resultCode": 0,
  "message": "Success",
  "data": { ... }
}
```

### Server Returns:
```csharp
public class SynergyResponse<T>
{
    public int resultCode { get; set; }
    public string message { get; set; }
    public T data { get; set; }
}
```

**Status**: ✅ **PERFECT MATCH**

---

## 🔐 Authentication & Headers

### APK Sends:
| Header | Value | Server Handles? |
|--------|-------|-----------------|
| `EAM-SESSION` | Session UUID | ✅ Logged & stored in context |
| `EAM-USER-ID` | Synergy ID | ✅ Logged & stored in context |
| `EA-SELL-ID` | Marketplace (e.g., GOOGLE_PLAY) | ✅ Logged & stored in context |
| `SDK-VERSION` | Nimble SDK version | ✅ Logged |
| `SDK-TYPE` | "Nimble" | ✅ Accepted |
| `User-Agent` | App identifier | ✅ Accepted |
| `Content-Type` | `application/json` | ✅ Accepted |

**Middleware**: `SynergyHeadersMiddleware` + `SessionValidationMiddleware`  
**Status**: ✅ **FULLY IMPLEMENTED**

---

## 🔒 SSL/TLS Compatibility

### APK SSL Configuration:
```java
// APK accepts ANY SSL certificate!
HttpsURLConnection.setDefaultHostnameVerifier(
    SSLSocketFactory.ALLOW_ALL_HOSTNAME_VERIFIER
);
```

**This means:**
- ✅ Self-signed certificates work
- ✅ No need for CA-signed cert
- ✅ Community server can use dev certs

### Server Configuration:
```csharp
app.UseHttpsRedirection(); // Enforces HTTPS
```

**Status**: ✅ **COMPATIBLE** - APK will accept your self-signed cert

---

## 📦 Asset Delivery System

### NEW: AssetsController (`/content/api/*`)

**Features:**
- ✅ Serves .pak files matching Cloudcell CDN pattern
- ✅ MD5 verification on download
- ✅ Manifest endpoint (`/content/api/manifest`)
- ✅ Asset status check (`/content/api/status`)
- ✅ Range requests support (resume downloads)
- ✅ Access tracking & statistics

**Configuration** (`appsettings.json`):
```json
{
  "AssetsBasePath": "Assets/downloaded",
  "ServerSettings": {
    "EnableAssetDownloads": true
  }
}
```

**When Discord provides assets:**
1. Place .pak files in `E:\rr3\RR3CommunityServer\RR3CommunityServer\Assets\downloaded\`
2. Server will automatically serve them at `/content/api/{assetPath}`
3. APK will download as if from EA's CDN

**Status**: ✅ **READY** (waiting for asset files)

## 🔧 What Happens When Assets Arrive?

### Step-by-Step Integration:

1. **Discord provides .pak files**
   ```bash
   # Place files in:
   E:\rr3\RR3CommunityServer\RR3CommunityServer\Assets\downloaded\
   ```

2. **Server automatically detects & serves them**
   - AssetsController handles `/content/api/{path}` requests
   - MD5 verification ensures integrity
   - Range requests allow resume

3. **Import manifest data to database**
   ```powershell
   # Parse manifests and populate GameAssets table
   .\import-manifests.ps1
   ```

4. **Modify APK** to point to your server
   - Change Director URL from `syn-dir.sn.eamobile.com` → `your-server-ip:5001`
   - Or use DNS/hosts file redirect

5. **Game downloads assets from your server!**
   - APK requests: `https://your-server:5001/content/api/gui_assets/...`
   - Server serves: `Assets/downloaded/gui_assets/...`
   - Profit! 🎮

---

## 🚀 APK Modification Required

### Option 1: Recompile APK (Recommended)

**Steps:**
1. Decompile APK with apktool
2. Find Director URL in `res/values/strings.xml` or native libs
3. Replace `https://syn-dir.sn.eamobile.com` with `https://YOUR_SERVER_IP:5001`
4. Recompile & sign APK

### Option 2: Hosts File Redirect (Easier)

**On Android device:**
```bash
# Root required
# Add to /system/etc/hosts:
YOUR_SERVER_IP  syn-dir.sn.eamobile.com
YOUR_SERVER_IP  cloudcell.ea.com
```

**On Windows (for emulator):**
```powershell
# C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts
192.168.1.100  syn-dir.sn.eamobile.com
192.168.1.100  cloudcell.ea.com
```

### Option 3: Network Proxy (Most Flexible)

Use mitmproxy or similar to redirect EA domains to your server.

- [ ] Run manifest import script
- [ ] Populate `GameAssets` table with MD5 hashes
- [ ] Test asset download: `curl https://localhost:5001/content/api/status`

### Priority 2 (Testing):
- [ ] Modify APK to point to server
- [ ] Install modded APK on emulator
- [ ] Launch game & verify Director response
- [ ] Check asset downloads working
- [ ] Test gameplay

### Priority 3 (Polish):
- [ ] Populate car catalog from game data
- [ ] Configure upgrade costs
- [ ] Set up time trial events
- [ ] Add starter cars to new users
- [ ] Configure difficulty/rewards
