Pull request overview
This PR cuts a new TALXIS SDK release that adds CodeApp (code-first canvas app) support to the Dataverse Solution build pipeline, introduces additional solution/package validations, and updates packaging defaults and validation schemas/documentation.
Changes:
- Add CodeApp project type support (build, metadata generation, and packaging into solutions).
- Add new validations (duplicate GUIDs, Quick Find search attributes, PCF dependency validation) plus automatic Customizations.xml node completion.
- Update solution packaging behavior (Managed/Unmanaged selection), PAC resolution priority, and refresh XSD schemas + README documentation.

A few items to address:
1. Wrong package name in docs (docs/Tasks-Package.md, line 81)
The example .csproj references the old package name:
<PackageReference Include="TALXIS.SDK.BuildTargets.Dataverse.Tasks" Version="1.0.*" />Should be:
<PackageReference Include="TALXIS.DevKit.Build.Dataverse.Tasks" Version="1.0.*" />2. SDK README default value is misleading (src/Sdk/README.md)
The README documents the default for TALXISDevKitDataversePackageVersion as 0.0.0.1, but Sdk.props actually resolves it dynamically from the NuGet cache path (i.e., it matches the installed SDK version). Please update the docs to reflect the actual behavior.
3. GenerateCodeAppMetaXml — non-deterministic AppVersion
AppVersion is set to DateTime.UtcNow.ToString("yyyy-MM-ddTHH:mm:ssZ"), which means every build produces a different value even with identical source code. This causes solutions to always appear "changed". Consider using a deterministic value (e.g., a project version property or git commit hash) instead.

List of changes:
Support for code-first apps in Power Apps. The Solution automatically adds a RootComponent type=300 and a CanvasApps node in Customizations.xml.
New validations
PDPackage
macOS support: ILRepack runs via mono on non-Windows platforms.
System.ComponentModel.Composition is automatically wired in for .NET Framework.
All ProjectReference entries default to ReferenceOutputAssembly=false.
Solution
ScriptLibrary projects are now removed from @(ProjectReference) after discovery so they are not built twice (once via ResolveProjectReferences and again via the explicit BuildScriptLibraries). Added EnsureCustomizationsNode for WebResources during the copy into metadata.
InvokeSolutionPackager
Changed the pac lookup priority: standalone Power Platform CLI is now preferred, then .dotnet/tools.
SDK
Default TargetFramework=net472.
XSD schemas update
README files updated
