+# AGENTS.md — pptx-image-compress
+
+Guidelines for AI agents and contributors working in this codebase.
+
+---
+
+## Project Overview
+
+Single-file Python CLI tool (`pptx_image_compress.py`) that compresses images
+inside `.pptx` files using the external binary `caesiumclt`. Supports single-
+file and batch modes, multi-threaded processing, and CSV logging.
+
+**Entry point:** `pptx_image_compress.py` → `main()`  
+**Tests:** `test_pptx_image_compress.py` (stdlib `unittest`, run via `pytest`)  
+**External dependency:** `caesiumclt` must be on `PATH`
+
+---
+
+## Running Tests
+
+```bash
+python -m pytest test_pptx_image_compress.py -v
+```
+
+All 5 tests must pass before any change is considered complete.  
+Never remove or weaken an existing test. Always add a test for new behaviour.
+
+---
+
+## Code Readability
+
+- **One responsibility per function.** If a function does more than one thing,
+  split it.
+- **Descriptive names.** Avoid single-letter variables outside of short loops.
+  Prefer `img_path` over `p`, `result` over `r`.
+- **Type-annotate every function signature** — parameters and return type.
+  Use `Optional[X]` / `X | None` consistently (the codebase uses both; prefer
+  `X | None` for new code on Python 3.10+).
+- **Constants at module level**, UPPER_SNAKE_CASE. Never hardcode magic values
+  inline (e.g. file extensions, prefix strings, bar lengths).
+- **Section comments** (`# --- Section ---`) are used to separate logical
+  blocks. Keep them and add new ones when introducing a new logical group.
+- **German UI strings are intentional** (progress output, error messages shown
+  to the end-user). Keep them in German. Internal code identifiers stay in
+  English.
+- **No dead code.** Remove commented-out blocks and unused functions before
+  committing.
+
+---
+
+## Testability
+
+- **Inject external dependencies via callable parameters.** The `compressor`
+  parameter on `process_image_file` and `process_single_deck` is the canonical
+  pattern — always use it for any new external-process call.
+- **Never call `shutil.which` or `subprocess` directly inside a function under
+  test.** Route through an injectable or mockable seam.
+- **Tests use `tempfile.TemporaryDirectory`** for isolation. Every test must
+  clean up after itself — rely on the context manager, not `tearDown`.
+- **Do not test private implementation details.** Test observable behaviour:
+  return values, file contents, log output.
+- **One assertion focus per test.** A test named `test_X` should assert exactly
+  what `X` does, with a minimal setup.
+- **Use `fake_compressor` pattern** (as seen in existing tests) to decouple
+  image-compression logic from the real `caesiumclt` binary in all unit tests.
+
+---
+
+## Performance
+
+- **Thread pool sizing:** outer thread count is controlled by `-t/--threads`
+  (default 16). When `threads > 1`, each `caesiumclt` subprocess is launched
+  with `--threads 1` to prevent CPU over-subscription. Do not change this
+  without benchmarking.
+- **Scratch directories are per-image** (`img_{idx:06d}` sub-dirs) to avoid
+  filename collisions across threads without locking.
+- **`Lock` scope must be minimal.** Only counter increments and `log_lines`
+  appends are inside the lock — never I/O or subprocess calls.
+- **Avoid redundant filesystem walks.** `build_image_slide_index` is called
+  once per deck, not per image. Keep it that way.
+- **`zip_dir_to_pptx` collects all files before writing** so `[Content_Types].xml`
+  can be placed first. Do not revert this to a streaming walk.
+
+---
+
+## Architecture
+
+### Current state
+
+Single-file design (`pptx_image_compress.py`) is intentional for zero-install
+distribution. It is acceptable as long as the file stays under ~700 lines.
+
+### Target layout (clean architecture — migrate when the file grows)
+
+When the project needs to grow, extract to a package following these layers.
+Dependencies must only point **inward** (CLI → Application → Domain ←
+Infrastructure implements Domain ports).

+
+### Layer rules
+
+| Layer | May import | Must NOT import |
+|---|---|---|
+| `domain` | stdlib only | everything else |
+| `application` | `domain` | `infrastructure`, `cli` |
+| `infrastructure` | `domain`, stdlib, 3rd-party | `application`, `cli` |
+| `cli` | `application`, `domain.models` | `infrastructure` directly |
+
+### Key architectural decisions
+
+- **`Compressor` is a `typing.Protocol`** (in `domain/ports.py`), not a bare
+  `Callable`. This makes the contract explicit and IDE-checkable without
+  creating an import cycle:
+  ```python
+  class Compressor(Protocol):
+      def __call__(
+          self,
+          original: Path,
+          out_dir: Path,
+          threads: int | None,
+          quality: int,
+          min_savings: str,
+      ) -> Path | None: ...
+  ```
+- **`DeckResult` and `ImageProcessResult` live in `domain/models.py`** — they
+  are pure data, no logic, no I/O.
+- **`compress_deck.py` receives a `Compressor` instance via constructor or
+  parameter** — never imports `caesium_adapter` directly. This is what makes
+  the use-case fully unit-testable with a `fake_compressor`.
+- **`main()` (in `cli/args.py`) owns argument parsing only.** It resolves
+  paths, builds the `Compressor` adapter, and calls `application.compress_deck`
+  or `application.batch`. No processing logic belongs there.
+- **`expand_inputs` / `collect_from_dir` live in `cli/args.py`** — path
+  resolution is a CLI concern. All layers below receive `Path` objects.
+- **Temp directory lifecycle belongs in `infrastructure/temp_manager.py`.**
+  Always use `TEMP_PREFIX` so orphaned dirs from crashed runs are recoverable.
+
+### Migration guide (single file → package)
+
+1. Create the `pptx_compress/` directory.
+2. Move dataclasses and constants to `domain/`.
+3. Move `compress_with_caesium` → `infrastructure/caesium_adapter.py`.
+4. Move PPTX read/write helpers → `infrastructure/pptx_reader.py` and
+   `pptx_writer.py`.
+5. Move `process_image_file` + `process_single_deck` → `application/compress_deck.py`.
+6. Move `main()` + input helpers → `cli/args.py`.
+7. Add `__main__.py` with `from pptx_compress.cli.args import main; main()`.
+8. Update `test_pptx_image_compress.py` imports accordingly — test logic does
+   not need to change because the public API surface is identical.
+
+### Refactoring plan (aligned with this AGENTS.md)
+
+- Keep the same layer direction: `cli` → `application` → `domain`; only
+  `infrastructure` implements domain ports.
+- Add dedicated raster/vector implementations behind domain ports, not in CLI:
+  - `domain/ports.py`: `RasterCompressor`, `VectorCompressor` protocols
+    (or one `Compressor` protocol + typed strategies)
+  - `infrastructure/caesium_adapter.py`: raster implementation
+  - `infrastructure/svg_polish_adapter.py`: vector implementation
+- Add routing in `application` (not `infrastructure`):
+  - `application/compress_deck.py`: `CompressorRouter` decides by extension
+  - no direct `subprocess` / external library calls in `application`
+- Split image workflow into explicit application steps:
+  - `compress_step`
+  - `optimal_format_step` (PNG → JPEG optimization step; not a fallback)
+  - `replace_step` (atomic replace via `.tmp` + `Path.replace()`)
+- Centralize PPTX metadata handling in infrastructure modules:
+  - keep relationship/content-type updates in `infrastructure/pptx_reader.py`
+    and/or `infrastructure/pptx_writer.py`
+  - `application` only orchestrates and passes domain models
+- Introduce configuration object in `domain/constants.py` or a dedicated
+  domain config model; avoid new magic values in `application`.
+- Preserve public behaviour and CLI surface during migration; refactor in
+  small commits with green tests after each step.
+
+### Suggested commit sequence
+
+1. Extract domain models/constants/ports unchanged.
+2. Extract caesium adapter + add svg_polish adapter seam.
+3. Introduce router in `application` with extension-based dispatch.
+4. Refactor image processing into `compress_step` + `optimal_format_step` +
+   `replace_step`.
+5. Extract PPTX metadata update helpers to infrastructure modules.
+6. Move CLI parsing/output concerns into `cli/` only.
+7. Remove dead monolith code paths and keep tests passing.
+
+---
+
+## Security
+
+- **Never pass unsanitised user input directly to `subprocess`.** The
+  `compress_with_caesium` function builds the command as a list (not a shell
+  string). Keep it that way — do not use `shell=True`.
+- **Validate file extensions before compression.** `compress_with_caesium`
+  checks `ext not in ALLOWED_EXT` and returns `None` for unrecognised types.
+  Do not bypass or widen this check without explicit justification.
+- **Validate input paths early.** `process_single_deck` checks that the input
+  exists and has a `.pptx` suffix before doing any filesystem work.
+- **Temp files are written atomically.** Image replacement uses a `.tmp`
+  intermediate and `Path.replace()` (atomic rename) — do not change this to a
+  direct overwrite.
+- **`capture_output=True`** is set on all subprocess calls so that stdout/stderr
+  from `caesiumclt` cannot interfere with or inject into the tool's own output.
+- **Do not log file contents**, only metadata (name, size, slide references).
+  The CSV log must never contain image binary data or path information outside
+  the output directory.
+- **`ignore_errors=True` on `shutil.rmtree`** is acceptable for temp cleanup
+  only. Never suppress errors on writes to the output PPTX or its log file.

+# PPTX Image Compressor - Packaging & Distribution Guide
+
+## Overview
+
+This project now supports 3 different deployment approaches:
+1. **Embedded Python** (Current - Development & Local Use)
+2. **PyInstaller Portable** (Recommended for End Users)
+3. **Hybrid Approach** (Recommended for Maximum Flexibility)
+
+---
+
+## Approach 1: Embedded Python (Development Setup)
+
+### Use Case
+- ✅ Development with VS Code
+- ✅ Debugging with Python Debugger
+- ✅ Running tests with pytest
+- ✅ Source code control & modifications
+
+### What You Have
+- `install_and_run.bat` - Main launcher
+- `.venv/` - Virtual environment for development
+- Source code - Fully editable
+
+### Usage
+```bash
+# Development (with --debug flag to see pip output)
+.\install_and_run.bat --debug -i "path\to\file.pptx" -o "path\to\output.pptx"
+
+# With VS Code debugger
+# Open pptx_image_compress.py and click "Debug" or press F5
+
+# Run tests
+.\.venv\Scripts\pytest tests/
+```
+
+### Setup Instructions
+1. Ensure Python 3.9+ is installed on Windows
+2. Run: `.\install_and_run.bat`
+3. Virtual environment is created/updated automatically
+
+### Files
+- `install_and_run.bat` - Handles Python setup and execution
+- `requirements.txt` - Python package dependencies for runtime
+- `requirements-dev.txt` - Development dependencies (pytest, coverage, etc.)
+
+---
+
+## Approach 2: PyInstaller Portable (User Distribution)
+
+### Use Case
+- ✅ Distribute to end users (No Python installation needed)
+- ✅ Single-file executable
+- ✅ Professional appearance
+- ✅ "Just download and run" experience
+- ✅ Drag-and-drop support for non-technical users
+
+### What Gets Generated
+- `dist/pptx-image-compress.exe` - Standalone executable
+- `dist/run.bat` - Simple command-line wrapper
+- `dist/dragdrop.bat` - Drag-and-drop wrapper (easiest for users)
+
+### Usage by End User
+```bash
+# Option 1: Drag-and-drop (Easiest!)
+#   Drag a .pptx file onto dragdrop.bat
+#   Output: filename_compressed.pptx
+
+# Option 2: Command line
+.\pptx-image-compress.exe -i "path\to\file.pptx" -o "path\to\output.pptx"
+
+# Option 3: Wrapper
+.\run.bat -i "path\to\file.pptx" -o "path\to\output.pptx"
+
+# Get help
+.\pptx-image-compress.exe --help
+```
+
+### Build Instructions
+1. Ensure you have the development environment set up (Approach 1)
+2. Run: `.\build.bat`
+3. Wait for build to complete (first run takes 2-3 minutes)
+4. Generated files are in `dist/` folder
+
+### Build Files
+- `build.bat` - Automated build script that:
+  - Installs PyInstaller if needed
+  - Compiles Python to standalone executable
+  - Creates wrapper batch file
+  - Prepares distribution package
+
+### Advantages
+- No Python installation required on user's machine
+- Smaller footprint than full Python installation
+- Professional distribution option
+- Can be code-signed and digitally stamped
+
+### Limitations
+- Larger file size (~80-150 MB) due to bundled Python
+- First launch slightly slower (unpacking)
+- Harder to debug if issues occur
+
+### Distribution Notes
+- Ensure `caesiumclt.exe` is in the same directory as the .exe
+- Can optionally add `.venv\Lib\site-packages\svg_polish\*` if svg-polish needs updating
+- All dependencies are pre-bundled
+- Users can:
+  1. **Drag-and-drop files** onto `dragdrop.bat` for easy compression
+  2. Use command line for batch operations
+  3. Call `.exe` directly with custom parameters
+
+### Drag-and-Drop Feature
+The `dragdrop.bat` wrapper provides the easiest user experience:
+- Drag a `.pptx` file onto `dragdrop.bat`
+- Automatically creates `[filename]_compressed.pptx` in the same directory
+- Shows progress and completion status
+- No command-line knowledge required
+
+---
+
+## Approach 3: Hybrid (Recommended)
+
+### Use Case
+- ✅ Flexible development workflow
+- ✅ Easy distribution to users
+- ✅ Best of both worlds
+
+### How It Works
+**For Developers:**
+- Use Embedded Python approach (Approach 1)
+- Edit code, debug, run tests
+- Keep development lightweight
+
+**For Users:**
+- Use PyInstaller Portable (Approach 2)
+- Download and run .exe
+- No installation or configuration needed
+
+### Workflow
+```
+Development Phase:
+├── Edit code
+├── Test with: .\.venv\Scripts\pytest
+├── Debug with VS Code
+└── Use: .\install_and_run.bat --debug -i file.pptx
+
+Release Phase:
+├── Run: .\build.bat
+├── Test the .exe: .\dist\pptx-image-compress.exe -i file.pptx
+├── Package: Copy dist/* to users
+└── Users just run: pptx-image-compress.exe
+```
+
+---
+
+## Dependency Management
+
+### Runtime Dependencies (required for execution)
+See `requirements.txt`:
+- `svg-polish==1.0.0` - SVG optimization library (brings defusedxml)
+
+The core script uses only Python Standard Library modules:
+- No need for external image libraries
+- Uses system's `caesiumclt.exe` for image compression
+- Handles PPTX files using only built-in zipfile module
+
+### Development Dependencies (for testing/development)
+See `requirements-dev.txt`:
+- `pytest==9.0.3` - Testing framework
+- `pytest-cov==7.1.0` - Coverage reporting
+- Plus all runtime dependencies
+
+### Managing Dependencies
+
+**Update packages:**
+```bash
+.\.venv\Scripts\pip install --upgrade -r requirements.txt
+```
+
+**Add new package:**
+```bash
+.\.venv\Scripts\pip install package_name
+.\.venv\Scripts\pip freeze > requirements.txt
+```
+
+**For development:**
+```bash
+.\.venv\Scripts\pip install -r requirements-dev.txt
+```
+
+---
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Development Setup Issues
+
+**Problem:** "Python not found"
+- **Solution:** Run `.\install_and_run.bat` which will download and setup Python
+
+**Problem:** "svg_polish not found"
+- **Solution:** Run with `--debug` flag to see installation details
+- Or manually: `.\.venv\Scripts\pip install svg-polish`
+
+### PyInstaller Build Issues
+
+**Problem:** Build takes too long
+- **Solution:** First build is slower due to PyInstaller analysis. Subsequent builds are faster.
+
+**Problem:** .exe won't run
+- **Solution:** Ensure `caesiumclt.exe` is in the same directory or system PATH
+
+**Problem:** "PyInstaller not installed"
+- **Solution:** Run `build.bat` again - it will auto-install PyInstaller
+
+---
+
+## Technical Comparison
+
+| Aspect | Embedded Python | PyInstaller | Hybrid |
+|--------|-----------------|-------------|--------|
+| **Installation** | Auto (via batch) | None (single .exe) | Mixed |
+| **Disk Space** | ~50 MB | ~100-150 MB | Both available |
+| **Execution Speed** | Fast | Fast | Fast |
+| **Debuggability** | Excellent | Difficult | Excellent (dev) |
+| **Distribution** | Manual setup | Just .exe | Just .exe (users) |
+| **Development** | Quick iteration | Requires rebuild | Quick iteration |
+
+---
+
+## Recommended Workflow
+
+### For You (Developer)
+```
+1. Daily Development:
+   - Use: .\install_and_run.bat --debug
+   - Edit code in VS Code
+   - Test with pytest
+   - Use debugger with F5
+
+2. Before Release:
+   - Run: .\build.bat
+   - Test: .\dist\pptx-image-compress.exe
+   - Package and distribute
+```
+
+### For End Users
+```
+1. First Time:
+   - Download pptx-image-compress.exe
+   - Download run.bat (optional)
+   - Download caesiumclt.exe (if image compression needed)
+   
+2. Usage:
+   - Double-click run.bat
+   - Or: pptx-image-compress.exe -i input.pptx -o output.pptx
+```
+
+---
+
+## Next Steps
+
+1. **Test Embedded Python Setup:**
+   ```bash
+   .\install_and_run.bat --debug -i test.pptx -o test_output.pptx
+   ```
+
+2. **Build Portable Distribution:**
+   ```bash
+   .\build.bat
+   ```
+
+3. **Test the Executable:**
+   ```bash
+   .\dist\pptx-image-compress.exe -h
+   ```
+
+4. **Check Generated Files:**
+   - `dist/pptx-image-compress.exe` - Main executable
+   - `dist/run.bat` - Batch wrapper
+
+---
+
+## Support & Maintenance
+
+- Keep Python version updated for security
+- Update dependencies: `pip install --upgrade -r requirements.txt`
+- Rebuild .exe when updating dependencies: `.\build.bat`
+- Test both approaches before major updates

 ## Was das Tool macht
 - Entpackt die PPTX in einen Temp‑Ordner
 - Komprimiert **JPG/JPEG, PNG, WebP, GIF** mit **CaesiumCLT** (Default `-q 90`, `-O bigger`)
-- Komprimiert **SVG** mit **svg-polish** (Default-Modus: `agressive`)
+- Komprimiert **SVG** mit **svg-polish** (Default-Modus: `balanced`)
 - Ersetzt Bilder nur, wenn die komprimierte Datei kleiner ist
 - Versucht bei PNG zusätzlich einen PNG->JPG Wechsel, wenn das Bild nach Kompression noch größer als 500 KB ist
 - Ersetzt Bilder nur, wenn sei mindestens 2% kleiner sind (verhindert *doppelte Komprimierung*)
 - Schreibt ein CSV‑Log (`.log` neben der Output‑PPTX)
 - Baut eine neue PPTX und zeigt eine Summary (Name, Größe vorher/nachher, Ersparnis %, Zeit)
 
-## Änderungen in 1.1.8
+## Änderungen in 1.2.0
-- SVG Files werden bei Vorhandensein von svg-polish anhand von 2 Profilen optimiert: balanced|agressive
+- Möglichkeit mit build.bat eine pptx-image-compressor.exe zu erstellen
+- Fixes für install_and_run.bat in venv / "raw" environments
 
 ## Hinweise
 - `-t` steuert die Parallelität der Python‑Threads; intern wird `caesiumclt --threads 1` gesetzt, sobald `-t > 1`, um Oversubscription zu vermeiden. Default ist 16
 -  `-q` steuert das Qualitätslevel; intern wird `caesiumclt -q` mit diesem Wert von `0..100` benutzt, Default ist 90
 -  `--min-savings` steuert das Mindestmass an Komprimierung zur Verhinderung von doppelter Komprimierunt, Default ist 2%
 - Die Batch **verwendet bevorzugt das Embeddable Python** neben der BAT; ansonsten sucht sie echte `python.exe`/`py.exe` im PATH, **ignoriert** aber die Microsoft‑Store‑Alias‑Pfade (`WindowsApps`).
-- `--svg-profile` steuert das Vector-Optimierungsprofil `balanced|agressive`
+- `--svg-profile` steuert das Vector-Optimierungsprofil `balanced|aggressive`

+#  PPTX Image Compressor – Installation Logic
+
+## 1. Intro – One Line Summary
+
+> The script selects the best available Python environment, falls back to a self-installed embedded runtime if necessary, ensures `pip`, installs `svg-polish` when possible, and runs the application with graceful degradation.
+
+## 2. Lightweight Overview
+
+```text
+START
+│
+├─► Find usable Python
+│     ├─ venv (active / local)
+│     ├─ system Python
+│     └─ fallback: download embedded Python
+│
+├─► Ensure pip works
+│     ├─ pip exists → OK
+│     ├─ ensurepip → try fix
+│     └─ get-pip.py → fallback fix
+│
+├─► Install dependency
+│     └─ svg-polish (optional but preferred)
+│
+├─► Run main script
+│
