SIMD UTF-8 upgrades, i18n test data, MVC disabled
- Switch all test/benchmark data to Hungarian UTF-8 strings for i18n coverage
- Add AVX-512BW, Vector256, and Vector128 SIMD paths for UTF-8/UTF-16 encode/decode (ASCII and multi-byte) in binary serializer/deserializer
- Update WireMode docs for encoding guidance per workload/host
- Block-comment and disable MVC formatters and Microsoft.AspNetCore.App reference due to .NET 10 Hybrid client conflict; update docs to reflect temporary state
- Update appsettings: replace WaitForFlush with FlushPolicy
- Revise BINARY_TODO.md for SIMD transcoder progress and next steps
- Test data now controls IId shared ref % for realistic deduplication benchmarks; display names include IId ref ratio.
- Added deep-level clearing of IId refs for realistic object graphs.
- Pallet, Measurement, and Point models now support shared IId refs.
- TestDataFactory passes shared refs to all hierarchy levels.
- Refactored TypeMetadataWrapper for type-specific Id getters, identity maps, and registration—removes hot path type checks/switches.
- AcBinary deserializer now uses new typed methods for reference tracking and registration.
- SerializationContextBase uses pre-cast Id getters for zero-overhead tracking.
- Reduced quick benchmark warmup iterations for faster startup.
- Improves performance, clarity, and maintainability of reference handling and benchmarks.
Major overhaul of JSON serialization/deserialization:
- Added AcJsonDeserializationException for clearer error reporting.
- Robust JSON validation, type checking, and double-serialization detection.
- Fast-path primitive (de)serialization for all common .NET types.
- Direct support for Dictionary<TKey, TValue> and improved collection handling.
- Enhanced $id/$ref reference resolution and in-place merging.
- Optimized property metadata caching and filtering.
- Comprehensive error handling with detailed messages.
- Extensive new tests for primitives, collections, references, and error cases.
- Benchmarks for serialization, deserialization, and merge scenarios.
SignalR infrastructure improvements:
- Refactored AcSignalRClientBase/AcWebSignalRHubBase for testability (virtual methods, test constructors).
- Added SignalRRequestModelPool for efficient request/response tracking.
- Improved parameter deserialization and IdMessage handling.
- New tags (PingTag, EchoTag) for SignalR messaging.
New test and benchmark infrastructure for SignalR:
- Shared test models and data factories for DTOs, primitives, and complex graphs.
- In-memory, dependency-free SignalR client/hub for round-trip testing.
- Exhaustive test suites for message processing, method invocation, and edge cases (including prior production bugs with Task<T>).
- Benchmarks for SignalR serialization, deserialization, and round-trip performance.
Other changes:
- Improved TaskHelper.WaitTo/WaitToAsync with more accurate polling and cancellation support.
- ExtensionMethods.InvokeMethod now properly unwraps Task/ValueTask results.
- General code cleanup, improved comments, and removal of obsolete code.
- Project references updated for shared test/benchmark infrastructure.
These changes deliver a robust, high-performance, and fully tested JSON/SignalR (de)serialization system, ready for production and advanced testing scenarios.
