Subject: [PATCH 1/4] feat: add .NET 10 port of APM CLI

Full port of the APM CLI from Python to .NET 10, packaged as a dnx tool
for install-free execution. Includes:

- Spectre.Console.Cli for CLI framework (maps to Python Click+Rich)
- 89 source files across Commands, Models, Core, Compilation,
  Dependencies, Integration, Primitives, Runtime, Adapters, Workflow
- 38 xUnit test files with 1173 tests (FakeItEasy + AwesomeAssertions)
- NativeAOT support for standalone binaries (5 RIDs)
- Central Package Version Management (Directory.Packages.props)
- Cross-platform PowerShell 7+ install script
- Source-generated JSON serialization for AOT compatibility
- Full adapter wiring: VSCode, Codex, Copilot MCP server configuration
- Conflict detection, safe installation, auto-install virtual packages
- PackAsTool=true with ToolCommandName=apm, PackageId=apm-cli

Subject: [PATCH 2/4] ci: add .NET CI/CD pipeline with multi-platform NativeAOT
 builds

Mirrors Python pipeline structure:
- Multi-platform test matrix (ubuntu, macos, windows)
- NativeAOT builds on correct OS runners (no cross-compile)
- Integration tests with built binaries
- Release validation in isolated environment
- NuGet package publishing
- Triggered on v*.*.* tags and src/apm-dotnet/** changes

Subject: [PATCH 3/4] docs: add missing CLI flags to reference documentation

Add --single-agents, --verbose/-v, --local-only, --clean flags that
exist in the Python CLI but were missing from docs. Restore accurate
--with-constitution/--no-constitution description.

+**Auto-Install Virtual Packages:**
+
+When running a virtual package reference (e.g., `owner/repo/path/file.prompt.md`), APM will automatically download and install the package if it's not already available locally. This enables zero-config usage — no `apm init` or `apm install` required. APM will:
+1. Create a minimal `apm.yml` if none exists
+2. Download the package from GitHub
+3. Add it to `apm.yml` dependencies
+4. Execute the prompt

Subject: [PATCH 4/4] fix: resolve JsonNode type mismatch in
 DefaultMcpPackageManager

GetCurrentConfig() returns JsonNode values from JSON parsing but
ListInstalled/Uninstall were checking for Dictionary<string, object?>.
Added GetServersSection() helper that handles both JsonObject and
JsonNode types. Tests now assert correct behavior instead of
documenting the bug.
