Centralize NuGet package versions with Directory.Packages.props#1937
Merged
Conversation
Enable ManagePackageVersionsCentrally and move all PackageVersion declarations to Directory.Packages.props. Individual csproj files no longer specify Version on PackageReference elements. Pre-declare System.Text.Json, System.CommandLine, and System.IO.Pipes.AccessControl for upcoming migration phases. Assisted-by: Claude Opus 4.6 Signed-off-by: Tyrie Vella <tyvella@microsoft.com>

Centralize NuGet package versions with Directory.Packages.props
Summary
Enable NuGet Central Package Management across all 18 C# projects. This is the first PR in a phased migration toward .NET 10 with NativeAOT compilation.
What changed
Directory.Packages.props— single source of truth for all 20 NuGet package versions, plus 3 pre-declared packages for upcoming phases.csprojfiles — removedVersion=from every<PackageReference>element. Non-version attributes (ExcludeAssets,PrivateAssets,GeneratePathProperty) are preserved.Review guide
Directory.Packages.props— verify each<PackageVersion>matches theVersion=that was removed from the corresponding csprojVersion=was removed, nothing elseVerification
dotnet restore GVFS.sln— all 18 projects restore successfullydotnet build GVFS.sln— all C# projects compile (C++ vcxproj require MSBuild, unchanged)Context
Part of the .NET 10 NativeAOT migration. This foundational change enables subsequent phases (JSON, CLI, ProjFS, framework retarget) to modify package references without conflicting on version numbers.
