Release: two-phase dual-publish release model

[ptr727]

Summary

Release PR promoting the two-phase dual-publish release model from develop to main (squashed via #320).

On merge, this is the first main state with the new model: publish-release.yml becomes the sole publisher (weekly Monday 02:00 UTC + manual dispatch, both branches, idempotent), PRs smoke-test only, and a branch-aware Dependabot merge-bot replaces the legacy auto-merge. Also includes Central Package Management, AGENTS.md, documented analyzer relaxations for the strict template settings, and line-ending/husky-hook normalization.

See #320 for the full change description and Copilot review.

Maintainer follow-ups (after this merges)

• Add CODEGEN_APP_CLIENT_ID / CODEGEN_APP_PRIVATE_KEY (GitHub App) to both Actions and Dependabot secret stores for the merge-bot.
• Bind the Check pull request workflow status required check to the develop (squash-only) and main (merge-only) rulesets.
• Leave PUBLISH_ON_MERGE unset for the two-phase default; trigger the first publish via publish-release.yml → Run workflow.

Pull request overview

Promotes the repository to the two-phase dual-publish release model (PRs smoke-test only; publishing centralized in publish-release.yml), while also modernizing the .NET solution to .NET 10/AOT and aligning build/test/package management with the template conventions for easier future upstream syncing.

Changes:

• Replaces the legacy publish-on-push pipeline with reusable workflow tasks + branch-aware scheduled/manual publishing and a Dependabot merge-bot.
• Introduces Central Package Management (Directory.Build.props / Directory.Packages.props) and normalizes solution/repo metadata (.slnx, AGENTS.md, .editorconfig).
• Modernizes the Utilities library (AOT config, async APIs, improved XML docs) and expands xUnit coverage with new test files.

Summary

Release PR promoting the two-phase dual-publish release model from develop to main (squashed via #320).

On merge, this is the first main state with the new model: publish-release.yml becomes the sole publisher (weekly Monday 02:00 UTC + manual dispatch, both branches, idempotent), PRs smoke-test only, and a branch-aware Dependabot merge-bot replaces the legacy auto-merge. Also includes Central Package Management, AGENTS.md, documented analyzer relaxations for the strict template settings, and line-ending/husky-hook normalization.

See #320 for the full change description and Copilot review.

Maintainer follow-ups (after this merges)

• Add CODEGEN_APP_CLIENT_ID / CODEGEN_APP_PRIVATE_KEY (GitHub App) to both Actions and Dependabot secret stores for the merge-bot.
• Bind the Check pull request workflow status required check to the develop (squash-only) and main (merge-only) rulesets.
• Leave PUBLISH_ON_MERGE unset for the two-phase default; trigger the first publish via publish-release.yml → Run workflow.

Pull request overview

Promotes the repository to the two-phase dual-publish release model (PRs smoke-test only; publishing centralized in publish-release.yml), while also modernizing the .NET solution to .NET 10/AOT and aligning build/test/package management with the template conventions for easier future upstream syncing.

Changes:

• Replaces the legacy publish-on-push pipeline with reusable workflow tasks + branch-aware scheduled/manual publishing and a Dependabot merge-bot.
• Introduces Central Package Management (Directory.Build.props / Directory.Packages.props) and normalizes solution/repo metadata (.slnx, AGENTS.md, .editorconfig).
• Modernizes the Utilities library (AOT config, async APIs, improved XML docs) and expands xUnit coverage with new test files.
