Refactored string property deserialization to separate hot (common, no-feature) and cold (feature-engaged) marker handling, improving JIT inlining and cold-start performance. Introduced `TryReadStringProperty` (hot, inlined) and `TryReadStringColdPath` (cold, optimized) methods. Updated method attributes for better JIT control and clarified WASM string-cache dead code. Added `BINARY_BYTECODE_OPTIMIZATION.md` and updated related docs. Removed AutoMapper, updated logging package versions, and adjusted project files and settings accordingly.
Modernize benchmarks, simplify attributes, doc cleanup
- Benchmark output now reports per-op µs and KB/op; added helpers for unit conversion and updated all output formats and headers.
- Split SetupAllocBytes into SetupSerializeAllocBytes and SetupDeserializeAllocBytes for finer allocation reporting.
- Simplified [AcBinarySerializable] usage in test models to single-argument form.
- Edited documentation for clarity, brevity, and consistency; improved navigation, updated technical details, and harmonized terminology across .md files.
Refactor docs: topic folders, TOON, XCUT, protocol sync
- Migrated all topic documentation into dedicated folders with canonical `README.md`, `ISSUES.md`, and `TODO.md` per topic (e.g., `LOGGING/`, `SIGNALR/`, `BINARY/`, `TOON/`).
- Added comprehensive TOON serializer documentation: design, format, options, attributes, inference, issues, and TODOs.
- Introduced `XCUT` folder for cross-cutting issues and TODOs, with canonical entries and topic cross-references.
- Updated all references and navigation to use new folder-based doc paths; fixed links and clarified doc structure.
- Enhanced AI agent protocol: enforce session skill preloading, `[LOADED_DOCS: ...]` short-name prefix, and mandatory `docs-check` skill for doc/code sync.
- Updated `.csproj` to include all `README.md` files for IDE visibility.
- Improved and clarified SignalR, grid, and project-level documentation.
- Minor code/test tweaks and doc content corrections for consistency.
Added standardized metadata blocks to the top of each project and repo documentation file. These blocks define project type, and for repos, include layer and dependencies, improving clarity and enabling better tooling support.
Replaced Markdown links with plain code-style paths in all README.md files for consistency. Updated references to logging, SignalR, and dynamic method dispatch documentation. Clarified some documentation paths and improved consistency in context/architecture sections. No code changes—documentation only.
Replaced all Markdown link syntax in documentation with inline code formatting and consistent relative paths. Updated all cross-references and tables for clarity and uniformity. No code or logic changes; docs only.
- Move all major feature docs (logging, binary, SignalR, DataSource) into per-project `docs/` folders with dedicated Markdown files.
- Split monolithic docs into focused files: `BINARY_FORMAT.md`, `BINARY_FEATURES.md`, `BINARY_OPTIONS.md`, `LOGGING.md`, `LOGGING_SERVER.md`, `LOGGING_REMOTE.md`, `SIGNALR.md`, `SIGNALR_SERVER.md`, `SIGNALR_DATASOURCE.md`.
- Update all references in `README.md`, `copilot-instructions.md`, `GLOSSARY.md`, and `ARCHITECTURE.md` to point to the correct per-project doc.
- Add documentation tables to each project’s `README.md` and clarify folder structure.
- Update `.csproj` files to include `docs/**/*.md` for packaging.
- Remove obsolete/moved docs from the solution file.
- Ensure all technical debt warnings and cross-references are preserved and accurate.
- No code changes; documentation only.
- Add BINARY_FORMAT.md: full AcBinary wire format spec (markers, encoding, options, protocol, interactions)
- Reference BINARY_FORMAT.md from GLOSSARY.md, Binaries/README.md, and Serializers/Binaries/README.md; add new glossary terms
- Clarify and expand config options tables to match new doc
- Add/clarify LLM maintenance rules: always sync .md files with code, auto-fix discrepancies
- Update root README.md: AyCode.Core targets .NET 9, not 10; stress doc/code sync
- Add code reuse and doc sync conventions to copilot-instructions.md and CONVENTIONS.md
- Add docs/ folder and BINARY_FORMAT.md to solution as Solution Items
- Minor clarifications and cross-links in ARCHITECTURE.md and other docs
Added comprehensive README.md documentation to every project and subfolder in the solution. Each README describes the purpose, key files, structure, dependencies, and design patterns for its area. This improves codebase navigability and maintainability, and includes a maintenance note to keep docs in sync with future code changes.
AyCode.Core loggers now implement the ILogger interface, enabling direct integration with Microsoft.Extensions.Logging. Added AcLoggerProvider and extension methods for easy DI registration. Internal LogLevel usages are now AcLogLevel to avoid confusion. This allows seamless use of AyCode loggers in ASP.NET Core and other .NET apps using standard logging abstractions.
- Updated all projects to use `Newtonsoft.Json` v13.0.3 for consistency.
- Introduced `HybridReferenceResolver` for semantic and numeric ID handling.
- Refactored `SerializeObjectExtensions` to support deep JSON merging.
- Simplified `IId<T>` interface by removing `IEquatable<T>` constraint.
- Improved `AcSignalRDataSource` with robust `AddRange` and `CopyTo` methods.
- Added `JsonExtensionTests` for deep hierarchy, reference, and edge cases.
- Implemented `UnifiedMergeContractResolver` for custom JSON behavior.
- Optimized type/property caching with `TypeCache` and `CachedPropertyInfo`.
- Enhanced SignalR integration to fix primitive array deserialization issues.
- Introduced `JsonNoMergeCollection` attribute for replace-only collections.
- Added test DTOs and `TestDataFactory` for real-world scenario simulations.
- Improved performance with `ConcurrentDictionary` and `ObjectPool`.
- Fixed `$id`/`$ref` handling for non-semantic references and arrays.
