dotnet-native-aot

Full Native AOT compilation pipeline for .NET 8+ applications: PublishAot configuration, ILLink descriptor XML for type preservation, reflection-free coding patterns, P/Invoke considerations, binary size optimization, self-contained deployment with runtime-deps base images, and diagnostic analyzers (EnableAotAnalyzer/EnableTrimAnalyzer).

Version assumptions: .NET 8.0+ baseline. Native AOT for ASP.NET Core Minimal APIs and console apps shipped in .NET 8. .NET 9 improved trimming warnings and library compat. .NET 10 enhanced request delegate generator and expanded Minimal API AOT support.
