I'm not a fan of Directory.Build.props - could you fold the changes into the csproj files instead.
I'm not a fan of stylecop enforcement - could you remove it.
Could you add a .cspell.json and a .markdownlint.json files with enforcement in a new Quality Checks job performed in the build_on_push workflow.
Could you put together CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md and ARCHITECTURE.md files?
Could you set up a dependabot.yml file which updates every week?
…d quality tools - Remove Directory.Build.props per feedback - Remove StyleCop.Analyzers per feedback - Keep Microsoft.CodeAnalysis.NetAnalyzers in both csproj files - Add .cspell.json for spell checking - Add .markdownlint.json for markdown linting - Add CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md (Contributor Covenant v2.1) - Add ARCHITECTURE.md with detailed system design - Add .github/dependabot.yml for weekly dependency updates - Add Quality Checks job to build_on_push.yaml workflow - Remove VHDLTest.ruleset and stylecop.json files Co-authored-by: Malcolmnixon <1863707+Malcolmnixon@users.noreply.github.com>

The new quality check is still failing with numerous Markdown formatting violations. Please fix these issues. Additionally could you modify the AGENTS.md file to indicate it uses "enable" in the csproj files rather than "#nullable enable".
