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.
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.
- 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.
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.
