Pull request overview

This pull request represents the initial development of a .NET library providing extension methods for types implementing IComparable. The PR transforms the repository from a template into a working project with comprehensive multi-framework support, examples, and CI/CD infrastructure.

Changes:

• Adds IsBetween and IsInRange extension methods for IComparable types with comprehensive unit tests
• Configures multi-framework targeting (.NET Framework 4.6.2-4.8.1, .NET Standard 2.0, .NET 5.0-9.0)
• Implements enhanced CI/CD workflows with staged testing, coverage gating (90% threshold), and security scanning

The Main method is empty and does not demonstrate the usage of the IComparable extension methods. This example project should contain actual demonstration code similar to the DotNet8.Example1 project, or it should be removed as it provides no value to users.

The conditional package references for .NET 8.0-10.0 specify xunit.runner.visualstudio version 3.0.0, but this version may not be compatible with .NET 10.0 since .NET 10.0 does not exist yet. Once .NET 10.0 is removed from the target frameworks, this comment can be ignored, but the versioning strategy should be reviewed to ensure compatibility.

[Copilot]

The README.md file is incomplete. It contains only a title and a "Methods" heading with no actual content. Users need documentation explaining what the library does, how to install it, and how to use the IsBetween and IsInRange extension methods with examples.

[Copilot]

The coverage threshold is set to 90%, but according to the repository template guidelines, the minimum required coverage is 80%. This higher threshold may be intentional, but it deviates from the documented template standard and could cause unnecessary build failures.

[Copilot]

The package version is set to "0.1.0-rc1" (release candidate), but the AssemblyVersion is set to "1.0.0". This version mismatch could cause confusion. The AssemblyVersion should typically match the major version of the package version, or both should use the same version number for consistency.

Suggested change

	<AssemblyVersion>1.0.0</AssemblyVersion>
	<AssemblyVersion>0.1.0</AssemblyVersion>
