Project Structure

Core Principles

1. Central package management — Use Directory.Packages.props to manage NuGet package versions in one place. No version numbers in individual .csproj files.
2. Shared build properties — Use Directory.Build.props for common settings (target framework, nullable, implicit usings). Don't repeat in every project.
3. .slnx for solutions — The new XML-based solution format is cleaner and more merge-friendly than the legacy .sln format.
4. src/tests separation — Source projects in src/, test projects in tests/. Clear boundary.
