Hi, I think structure 3 is better than 1 and 2.
However, what makes the bin folder a mess is some tools script. Could we move walcheck and sync related scripts from "server" to a folder named "tools", also csv import/export scripts from client to "tools"? Besides, it's better to combine "run-client.bat" with "start-client.bat".
