@copilot Do we need to install older 4.x frameworks for testing? |

No, .NET Framework 4.x doesn't need to be installed. It comes pre-installed on Windows runners. The modern .NET SDK (5.0+) that's already being installed can build and test .NET Framework projects on Windows. The workflows correctly handle this: Windows builds all targets including net462/net472/net48/net481, while Linux/macOS exclude .NET Framework targets since they only run on Windows. |

Description
Addressed review question about whether older .NET SDK versions (5.0.x, 6.0.x, 7.0.x) are needed in the workflow.
The test project explicitly targets net5.0, net6.0, and net7.0 in addition to net8.0 and net9.0. Running tests for each target framework requires the corresponding SDK to be installed. The workflows correctly install all necessary SDKs.
