Support .NET file-based app paths throughout discovery, restore graph generation, analysis, reporting, and package updates. Add opt-in recursive discovery for loose shebang .cs file-based apps while preserving the fast project-only recursive path by default.

Pull request overview
Adds support for analyzing and upgrading .NET file-based apps (.cs script files with #:package/#:property directives), including discovery, dependency graph generation via dotnet restore+dotnet build /t:GenerateRestoreGraphFile, mapping graph results back to the source .cs path, variable-backed package directive updates, and CI coverage on .NET SDK 10.0.300.
Changes:
- New
ProjectPathExtensionsand updated discovery/analysis services to accept.cspaths and recursively discover loose shebang FBAs (gated behind--include-file-based-apps/-fba), excluding.csfiles inside a.csprojcone. VariableTrackingServiceextended to parse#:propertydefinitions, resolve$(...)expressions in#:packagedirectives, and update version variables in-place while preserving variable references;DotNetPackageServiceshort-circuits FBA variable updates and runsdotnet restore <file>instead ofdotnet add package.- New tests, fixtures, README documentation, and a dedicated cross-platform CI job (
file-based-app) that requires SDK 10.0.300.

Resolves conflicts with variable tracking (dotnet-outdated#714), the CPM --no-restore direct write (dotnet-outdated#713), file-based apps (dotnet-outdated#752/dotnet-outdated#755) and short TFM names (dotnet-outdated#750). AddPackage now takes the VersionRange through all of master's new paths; single-version paths use the range's lower bound for now (refined in follow-up commits). Restores the System.Text.Json using needed by master's tests and adapts DotNetPackageServiceTests to the new signature. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
