AppBuilder

Remarks

⚠ A builder with no backends refuses rather than guesses. Choosing between Vulkan and Null, or between the desktop platform and the headless one, means referencing those assemblies — and they are in Platform/, which this one may not reference. So the two choices arrive as IPlatformFactory and IGraphicsBackend, and VixenApp.Create in the Vixen.App package is what installs the defaults. A caller assembling a builder by hand supplies them, or supplies a platform and a device outright with WithPlatform and WithGraphics.
