i just posted minimal code, i'm attaching events.
i want to refactor this:
string outputDirectory = AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory;
string projectDirectory = Directory.GetParent(outputDirectory).Parent.Parent.Parent.FullName; // Navigate to the project folder
Is there any magic variable like "ProjectPath"?

you dont typically ship the source code with the app
just put the file in the output directory and read from AppContext.BaseDirectory
