Architecture & Design Philosophy

Core Principles

KISS (Keep It Simple, Stupid) - Prioritize simplicity over theoretical completeness. Start with the simplest solution that works. Complexity must justify itself through concrete, current needs.
Iterative Development - Build incrementally. Defer decisions until you have enough information. Don't solve problems you don't have yet.
Code is Fluid - Architecture evolves. If you need something later, add it then. Removing

To implement settings layers support in a JetBrains Rider plugin, you need to understand Rider's three-layer settings system and use the ReSharper Platform SDK APIs. Here's how to do it:

Understanding Settings Layers

JetBrains Rider uses a layered settings system where higher layers override lower ones[^2]:

Personal layer - User-specific settings for the current solution
Team-shared layer - Settings shared across the team (stored in VCS)
Computer/Global layer - Settings stored on the local machine for all instances

UniFi Link Speed Monitoring Implementation Plan

Overview

Deploy unpoller to scrape UniFi controller metrics and create VMRule alerts that detect link speed degradation. Configuration is self-contained via port naming convention in UniFi - no manual mappings required cluster-side.
