dotnet-nuget-authoring

NuGet package authoring for .NET library authors: SDK-style .csproj package properties (PackageId, PackageTags, PackageReadmeFile, PackageLicenseExpression), source generator NuGet packaging with analyzers/dotnet/cs/ folder layout and buildTransitive targets, multi-TFM packages, symbol packages (snupkg) with deterministic builds, package signing (author signing with certificates, repository signing), package validation (EnablePackageValidation, Microsoft.DotNet.ApiCompat.Task for API compatibility), and NuGet versioning strategies (SemVer 2.0, pre-release suffixes, NBGV integration).

Version assumptions: .NET 8.0+ baseline. NuGet client bundled with .NET 8+ SDK. Microsoft.DotNet.ApiCompat.Task 8.0+ for API compatibility validation.
