+# How to remove the demo features (Counter, EventStream)
+
+Every generated solution includes two small demo features in `web-spa`. They are teaching
+material — each demonstrates a pattern you will reuse — and they are **not** template flags:
+you remove them by deleting code once you no longer need the reference.
+
+| Feature | Path (under `source/container-apps/web/web-spa/`) | Demonstrates |
+|---------|---------------------------------------------------|--------------|
+| Counter | `features/counter/` | TimeWarp.State action sets, JS-interop dispatch, `[StateAccess]` |
+| EventStream | `features/event-stream/` | mediator pipeline middleware (`EventStreamBehavior`) |
+
+## The fast way
+
+Ask your coding agent:
+
+> Remove the counter feature: delete `web-spa/features/counter/`, then fix every compile error
+> that removal causes (nav links, global usings, `_Imports`, tests) until `dev build` is 0/0.
+
+The compiler is the checklist — deleting the folder surfaces every referencing site as an error,
+and the repo's analyzers (TWPA rules) catch the conventions on the way back to green.
+
+## The manual checklist
+
+Deleting a demo touches, at minimum:
+
+1. The feature folder itself (state, pages, components, notification handlers).
+2. `components/NavMenu.razor` — its nav link.
+3. `global-usings.cs` / `_Imports.razor` — its namespace usings.
+4. `tests/container-apps/web/web-spa-integration-tests/` — its test folder, plus any shared
+   pipeline tests that exercise its state (e.g. `CloneStateBehavior_Tests` uses `CounterState`).
+5. Anything the Style Guide page borrowed from it (the counter's throw-exception demo backs the
+   "exception → toast" button).
+
+Build after each step; stop when `dev build` reports 0 warnings / 0 errors.

+# Decouple template feature flags (api/web/yarp/counter/eventstream/postgres)
+
+Spun out of [[064-repoint-template-to-root-layout]]. 064 repointed the `dotnet new
+timewarp-architecture` template to the root layout and verified the DEFAULT (all-features) template
+builds 0 errors. This task makes the **feature-flag-OFF** combinations produce compiling solutions.
+
+## Background
+
+After 064, generating with a feature disabled correctly DROPS that feature's files and excludes its
+projects from the `.slnx`. But other code still **references** the excluded feature without `#if`
+guards, so the generated solution fails to compile. This is genuine feature coupling, not a template
+artifact (the blank-line/IDE2000 and `.slnx`-conditional artifacts were already fixed in 064).
+
+## Per-flag status (re-verified 2026-07-11)
+
+Value assessment (2026-07-11, maintainer decision): flags are the **architecture axis** only.
+`counter` and `eventstream` were demo-content flags — de-flagged; the demos ship unconditionally
+and are removed by hand/agent (see HowToRemoveDemoFeatures.md). Surviving flags:
+api / grpc / web / yarp / postgres.
+
+| Flag (`--X false`) | Result |
+|--------------------|--------|
+| `grpc`             | ✅ builds clean (064) |
+| `postgres`         | ✅ builds clean (guarded postgres-only global usings) |
+| `yarp`             | ✅ builds clean (guarded app-host usings; MessagePack pin; IDE2000 blank line) |
+| `api`              | ✅ builds clean (generator ref moved out of #if(api); TableHeader/Cell promoted to shared components; test fixtures decoupled) |
+| `web`              | ✅ builds clean (headless API — test infra owns its client: TestApiService replaces the SPA client stack in timewarp-testing) |
+| `counter`          | — de-flagged (demo ships unconditionally) |
+| `eventstream`      | — de-flagged (demo ships unconditionally; its ~124-error coupling died with the flag) |
+
+## Approach
+
+For each failing flag, generate `dotnet new timewarp-architecture -n NoX --X false`, build, and for
+each error either:
+- add `#if(X)` / `#endif` guards around the referencing code (using statements, DI registrations,
+  Razor `@using`/component refs, route registrations), or
+- add the referencing file to the `(!X)` exclude list in `.template.config/template.json` if it's
+  wholly feature-specific.
+
+Mind the blank-line rule: don't leave blank lines immediately around feature `#if` blocks (the
+engine strips them and IDE2000 fails the generated build) — see the `web-spa/global-usings.cs` fix.
+
+## Checklist
+
+- [x] `--postgres false`
+- [x] `--counter false` (fixed, then flag removed by value assessment)
+- [x] `--yarp false`
+- [x] `--api false`
+- [x] `--web false` (test-owned TestApiService; reflection hack deleted)
+- [x] `--eventstream false` → resolved by de-flagging (demo ships unconditionally)
+- [ ] Re-verify ALL single-flag-off combos build clean; spot-check a couple multi-flag-off combos
+- [ ] Confirm the real repo `dev build` stays green after each guard is added
+- [x] Follow-ups filed: 087 (#if-in-comments guard), 088 (feature-isolation analyzer), 089 (DefineConstants↔template.json), 090 (BaseApiService body serialization)
+- [x] HowToRemoveDemoFeatures.md (agent-driven demo removal guide)
+
+## Notes
+
+- Test names MUST be underscore-free (`-n NoApi`, not `No_api`) — `-n` becomes the namespace and
+  CA1707 flags underscores, producing false-positive errors.
+- Verify loop: `dotnet pack` the template csproj → `dotnet new install --force` → `dotnet new
+  timewarp-architecture -n NoX --X false` → `dotnet build`.
+- ~~Blocked by #086~~ — RESOLVED 2026-07-08: template generation mangled any `.cs` file with an
+  `#if`-family token in a comment (CS1513 in every generated app, any flag). Three files reworded;
+  verification loop now runs. See done/086.
+
+## Implementation Plan
+
+**Verification loop (per flag):**
+1. `dotnet pack` the template csproj in `timewarp-templates/`
+2. `dotnet new install --force`
+3. `dotnet new timewarp-architecture -n NoX --X false` (name must be underscore-free)
+4. `dotnet build` the generated solution and capture errors
+5. For each error:
+   - If referencing code is feature-specific → add `#if(X)` / `#endif` guard (no blank lines immediately adjacent to the block)
+   - If file is wholly feature-specific → add it to the `(!X)` exclude list in `.template.config/template.json`
+6. Repeat until `dotnet build` succeeds clean
+
+**Flag order (smallest → largest):**
+- `--postgres false`
+- `--counter false`
+- `--yarp false`
+- `--api false`
+- `--web false`
+- `--eventstream false` (investigate pervasive coupling first)
+
+**Final verification:**
+- Re-run ALL single-flag-off combinations
+- Spot-check 2–3 multi-flag-off combinations
+- Confirm `dev build` on the real repo stays green after every guard added
+
+**Constraints:**
+- Preserve existing `#if` regions and preprocessor structure
+- Never leave blank lines around injected `#if` blocks (IDE2000)
+- Keep test names underscore-free to avoid CA1707 noise
+
+The existing checklist and per-flag status table remain the source of truth; this plan simply codifies the mechanical loop and ordering.
+
+## Session
+
+- Created: 2026-06-26 (spun out of 064)
+
+## Results (2026-07-11)
+
+**Every surviving flag combination generates a compiling solution.** Verified matrix
+(pack → install → generate `--foundationPackages false` → build):
+
+| Combo | Errors |
+|-------|--------|
+| Default (all-on; counter + eventstream demos present) | 0 |
+| NoGrpc / NoApi / NoWeb / NoYarp / NoPostgres | 0 each |
+| ApiOnly (`--web false --grpc false --yarp false`) — headless API | 0 |
+| WebOnly (`--api false --grpc false --yarp false --postgres false`) | 0 |
+
+Real repo `dev build` 0/0 throughout.
+
+### Scope decision (maintainer, 2026-07-11)
+
+Flags are the **architecture axis** only: api / grpc / web / yarp / postgres. `counter` and
+`eventstream` (demo content) were **de-flagged** — demos ship unconditionally; removal is
+agent/hand-driven (HowToRemoveDemoFeatures.md). Rationale: demo flags were the most expensive
+guards (eventstream ≈124 errors) serving content users delete after reading; flag matrices rot
+silently (this one went stale in 6 days). Coupling detection moves to build-time analyzers
+(tasks 088/089) instead of a manual generation loop.
+
+### Key changes
+
+- **Blocker 086** (pre-req): template engine mangles `.cs` files with `#if` tokens in comments — 3 files reworded.
+- **postgres**: guarded postgres-only namespaces' global usings (web-infrastructure, web-server).
+- **counter** (pre-de-flag): StyleGuidePage TriggerException + nav link guards; later unwrapped.
+- **yarp**: app-host Aspire.Hosting.Yarp usings; IDE2000 blank line in app-host program.cs;
+  MessagePack 2.5.302 direct pin (StreamJsonRpc pulls vulnerable 2.5.192; only Aspire.Hosting.Yarp
+  lifted it).
+- **api**: real bug — the source-generator ProjectReference sat inside `#if(api)` in web-spa.csproj,
+  so api-off apps lost ALL [Page]/[StateAccess] generation (116-error cascade). TableHeader/Cell
+  promoted from weather-forecast to shared components/ (superhero used them cross-feature).
+- **web**: test infrastructure decoupled from the SPA client stack. New `TestApiService`
+  (timewarp-testing) implements foundation `IApiService` over HttpClient with
+  ContractSerializationDefaults; all fixtures use it; WebApiTestService's reflection into
+  BaseApiService's private transport deleted; dead IWebServerApiService registration dropped;
+  yarp fixture's web/api members fully conditional (incl. conditional ctor comma).
+- **De-flag**: counter/eventstream symbols + excludes removed from template.json; all their
+  `#if` regions unwrapped (undefined symbols evaluate false — leftovers would strip the demos);
+  DefineConstants cleaned.
+
+### Test outcomes
+
+- In-proc integration tests pass — CloneStateBehavior constructs all three swapped fixtures
+  (yarp/web/api) and TestApiService end-to-end. Foundation suites 22/22.
+- 13 aspire-path tests (web-spa aspire + api-server suites) failed **environmentally**: Docker
+  daemon unhealthy in the dev environment; they die at DCP's docker health check before any
+  changed code runs (pre-existing dependency). Rerun `dev test` with Docker Desktop up to confirm.
+
+### Follow-ups filed

+# Template generation mangles any .cs file with an `#if`-family token in a comment (blocks 071)
+
+Blocker spun out of [[071-decouple-template-feature-flags-apiwebyarpcountereventstreampostgres]].
+
+## Root cause
+
+The dotnet template engine runs C# conditional-processing on every generated `.cs` file. It treats
+the literal tokens `#if` / `#elif` / `#else` / `#endif` as preprocessor directives **even when they
+appear inside `//` comments or string literals**. When it encounters a bogus `#if` in a comment it
+strips from there to the next `#endif` — and if there is none, to end-of-file. That truncates the
+file mid-member, leaving unbalanced braces, so the generated app fails to compile with **CS1513
+"} expected"**.
+
+The original title blamed a "syntax error in purpose-region-analyzer.cs" — that was a misdiagnosis.
+The analyzer source compiles clean (0/0); the file is only *mangled at generation time*, and it was
+one of three files carrying the same landmine, not a lone offender.
+
+## Impact
+
+Generation breaks regardless of which feature flag is toggled, so the 071 per-flag verification loop
+(`dotnet new … --X false` → build) cannot even start. Hard block on 071.
+
+Introduced 2026-07-02 by the region-backfill work (tasks 084 and 050-010), which is *after* the 071
+matrix was last verified 2026-06-26 — which is why a loop that used to run now fails immediately.
+
+## Fix (done)
+
+Reworded the `#if`-family tokens out of the comments in the three affected template files (the
+literal string `#if ` must never appear in template `.cs` comments/strings):
+
+- `source/analyzers/timewarp-architecture-convention-analyzers/purpose-region-analyzer.cs` (`#if false`)
+- `source/container-apps/web/web-spa/features/developer/components/user-claims-base.cs` (`#if false`)
+- `source/container-apps/aspire/aspire-app-host/program.cs` (`#if blocks …`)
+
+Verified by regenerating `--postgres false` and confirming all three come through intact (braces
+balance; only legitimate template directive/`cnd:noEmit`-marker stripping remains). Edits are
+comment-only, so repo compilation is unchanged (analyzers build 0/0).
+
+## Checklist
+
+- [x] Identify root cause (template conditional-processor misreads `#if` in comments)
+- [x] Reword the three affected comments
+- [x] Regenerate and confirm the three files come through intact
+- [x] Confirm repo build stays 0/0 (comment-only edits)
+
+## Follow-up (separate task, prefer-analyzers directive)
+
+Add a guard so this class of bug is caught before generation instead of only when someone runs the
+loop: a build-time or template-time check that fails when template content contains an `#if` / `#elif`
+/ `#else` / `#endif` token inside a comment or string literal. The scan
+`grep -rn --include='*.cs' -E '//.*#(if|elif|else|endif)|"[^"]*#(if|elif|else|endif)' source/ tests/`
+is the crude form; a Roslyn check keyed off comment/string trivia is the durable one.
+
+The check must NOT be absolute — such tokens are legitimate (analyzer/generator tests embedding C#
+source in string literals, a generator emitting preprocessor directives, comments explaining
+preprocessor behavior). The rule is "reword it, or wrap it in the template engine's
+`//-:cnd:noEmit` … `//+:cnd:noEmit` escape"; the guard should flag only occurrences that are neither
+real feature-flag directives nor inside a `cnd:noEmit` region, and its message should name both
+remedies. See [[prefer-analyzers-sourcegen-over-inference]].
