Release: two-phase dual-publish release model

[ptr727]

Summary

Land the two-phase dual-publish model on main, with fully signed & GitHub-verified history. This is main merged with develop (0f1616d), the one-time old→new structural conflicts resolved in develop's favour, and the max dependency/tool versions taken so main's newer Dependabot bumps are not regressed.

All introduced commits are committer = Pieter Viljoen <ptr727@users.noreply.github.com> and verified, satisfying required_signatures (supersedes #322/#323, which carried unverifiable web-flow-committed history).

Dependency reconciliation (max of develop/main)

Package / tool	Version
Microsoft.SourceLink.GitHub	10.0.201
Serilog	4.3.1
Microsoft.NET.Test.Sdk	18.4.0
xunit.analyzers	1.27.0
csharpier (tool)	1.2.6
husky (tool)	0.9.1

Net diff vs develop is only the six version bumps above. See #320 for the full change description.

Maintainer follow-ups (after merge)

• Add CODEGEN_APP_CLIENT_ID / CODEGEN_APP_PRIVATE_KEY (GitHub App) to both Actions and Dependabot secret stores for the merge-bot.
• Let Dependabot bring develop's deps up to match (or open a small sync PR).
• Kick off the first publish via Actions → publish-release.yml → Run workflow once secrets are in.

Pull request overview

This PR lands the repo’s two-phase dual-publish release model onto main, aligning CI/release automation, Dependabot automation, and build configuration with the template-based workflow structure while reconciling dependency/tool versions via Central Package Management.

Changes:

• Introduces new GitHub Actions workflow set for PR testing (unit tests + gated smoke build) and scheduled/manual publishing for both main and develop, plus a GitHub App–token-based merge-bot for Dependabot.
• Moves shared build settings and package versions into Directory.Build.props and Directory.Packages.props, updating projects to use central package versions and tightening analyzer configuration.
• Updates repo docs/config (AGENTS.md, README badge, .editorconfig/.gitignore, Husky hook) to match the new workflow and build conventions.

Land the two-phase dual-publish model on main, with fully signed & GitHub-verified history. This is main merged with develop (0f1616d), the one-time old→new structural conflicts resolved in develop's favour, and the max dependency/tool versions taken so main's newer Dependabot bumps are not regressed.

All introduced commits are committer = Pieter Viljoen <ptr727@users.noreply.github.com> and verified, satisfying required_signatures (supersedes #322/#323, which carried unverifiable web-flow-committed history).

Dependency reconciliation (max of develop/main)

Package / tool	Version
Microsoft.SourceLink.GitHub	10.0.201
Serilog	4.3.1
Microsoft.NET.Test.Sdk	18.4.0
xunit.analyzers	1.27.0
csharpier (tool)	1.2.6
husky (tool)	0.9.1

Net diff vs develop is only the six version bumps above. See #320 for the full change description.

Maintainer follow-ups (after merge)

• Add CODEGEN_APP_CLIENT_ID / CODEGEN_APP_PRIVATE_KEY (GitHub App) to both Actions and Dependabot secret stores for the merge-bot.
• Let Dependabot bring develop's deps up to match (or open a small sync PR).
• Kick off the first publish via Actions → publish-release.yml → Run workflow once secrets are in.

Pull request overview

This PR lands the repo’s two-phase dual-publish release model onto main, aligning CI/release automation, Dependabot automation, and build configuration with the template-based workflow structure while reconciling dependency/tool versions via Central Package Management.

Changes:

• Introduces new GitHub Actions workflow set for PR testing (unit tests + gated smoke build) and scheduled/manual publishing for both main and develop, plus a GitHub App–token-based merge-bot for Dependabot.
• Moves shared build settings and package versions into Directory.Build.props and Directory.Packages.props, updating projects to use central package versions and tightening analyzer configuration.
• Updates repo docs/config (AGENTS.md, README badge, .editorconfig/.gitignore, Husky hook) to match the new workflow and build conventions.
