Time to start: As soon as possible

Project description:
"I already have a mature .NET C# desktop tool that auto-books Tatkal tickets on IRCTC. It worked flawlessly until IRCTC rolled out its latest security update. Since then the login process has become unstable: the session now expires mid-flow, triggering an automatic logout just before the payment screen. Everything else in the booking pipeline—search, seat selection, payment hooks—remains untouched; the single obstacle is keeping the session alive long enough to complete the reservation.

What I need
• Pinpoint the exact handshake or token that IRCTC has tightened.
• Refactor or re-sequence the existing login code so the session no longer times out prematurely.
• Return a tested C# solution (source + compiled DLL/EXE) that can repeatedly complete a Tatkal booking without manual intervention, under normal network latency.
• A short read-me summarising the change and any new dependencies.
Requirements:
- Prior experience with IRCTC Tatkal automation (must)
- Strong skills in .NET (C#), WinForms/WPF, HTTP requests, and session management
- Familiarity with IRCTC’s booking logic, anti-bot measures, and recent security updates
- Ability to work independently and deliver quick, reliable fixes

Please do NOT apply if:

- You’ve never worked on IRCTC automation before
- You’re unfamiliar with Tatkal booking flow or site structure
- You’re looking to experiment or learn on this project
This is a time-sensitive, performance-critical task. Only developers with proven experience in IRCTC Tatkal automation should apply.

To apply, message with:

- Your past experience with IRCTC automation
- Sample projects or screenshots (if available)
- Estimated timeline for review and fix

Would you like me to help format this for Freelancer, Upwork, or WhatsApp outreach? I can also help you write a short intro message or create a visual post to boost visibility.


Tech context
The current stack is .NET 6 with Selenium WebDriver, running behind rotating residential proxies. Captcha-solver and 2FA routines are still functional, so they should not need touching unless your fix requires it.

Acceptance
I will run your build in my environment and attempt five back-to-back Tatkal bookings. If none log out unexpectedly and all PNRs are generated, the milestone is cleared.

If you have tackled recent IRCTC session-handling tweaks, this will be quick work. Let me know your turnaround time and any access or logs you need from me.

Project Scope:
- Review and update existing .NET C# codebase
- Fix login/session handling issues caused by IRCTC changes
- Integrate dynamic captcha and OTP flows
- Ensure fast, secure, and human-like booking behavior
- Optimize for high-demand Tatkal windows" (client-provided description)
