This app now provides:

• A single-page operations console at /
• Live merchant stats from /api/dashboard
• Editable configuration stored in SQLite outside the binaries folder
• Health endpoint at /health
• DbContext & repository abstraction IEfRepository / EfRepository

How to run:

• dotnet restore
• dotnet build
• dotnet run
• Visit http://localhost:9600/ for the console

Notes:

• ConnectionStrings:SettingsDb and ConnectionStrings:MerchantDb store plain file paths.
• The code behind adds the SQLite Data Source= prefix when opening each database.
• Both paths should point outside the binaries folder, for example under G:\Git\TransactionProcessing\SupportTools\MerchantPosData\.
