- Convert legacy project file to SDK-style format targeting .NET 7 - Replace System.Web.Mvc with ASP.NET Core MVC - Create Program.cs entry point replacing Global.asax.cs - Convert Web.config settings to appsettings.json - Update LandingController to use ASP.NET Core Controller base class - Update Razor view to use direct script/CSS references instead of bundling - Configure static file middleware for WebApp/ and node_modules/ directories - Remove legacy files: Web.config, Global.asax, App_Start/, packages.config, Views/web.config - Preserve AngularJS frontend functionality with test components and directives - Update page title to reflect .NET 7 migration The hybrid architecture (ASP.NET Core backend + AngularJS frontend) remains fully functional. All AngularJS components render correctly and display version information as expected. Co-Authored-By: Jia Wu <jia.wu@cognition.ai>

Migrate ASP.NET MVC 5 application from .NET Framework 4.8 to .NET 7
Summary
This PR migrates the existing ASP.NET MVC 5 application from .NET Framework 4.8 to .NET 7, modernizing the project structure while preserving the hybrid AngularJS frontend functionality. The migration converts the legacy project file to SDK-style format, replaces System.Web.Mvc with ASP.NET Core MVC, and updates the application startup and configuration patterns.
