+        AOT smoke test (marten#4349 / JasperFx/jasperfx#213). Builds in CI and
+        verifies that a consumer of Marten through the AOT-clean surfaces
+        (AddMarten + document mapping + event registration + projection
+        registration + DI resolution of IDocumentStore) compiles with no
+        IL2026 / IL2046 / IL2055 / IL2065 / IL2067 / IL2070 / IL2072 / IL2075
+        / IL2090 / IL2091 / IL2111 / IL3050 / IL3051 warnings.
+
+        If a previously-AOT-clean API in Marten later gains a
+        [RequiresUnreferencedCode] / [RequiresDynamicCode] annotation, this
+        project's build fails in CI and the regression is caught before
+        downstream consumers see it. New IL warnings introduced by edits to
+        Program.cs are equally caught.
+
+        Pattern mirrors src/JasperFx.AotSmoke/ in JasperFx/jasperfx
+        (commit d4077d8) and src/Weasel.Core.AotSmoke/ in JasperFx/weasel
+        (PR #283 / commit 5844c9f).
+
+        Deliberately NOT a test project — no xUnit, no test discovery, no
+        dotnet test. It's a build-time consumer that exits cleanly when the
+        smoke surface analyzes clean under the AOT rule set.
+
+        Static TypeLoadMode consumer — no JasperFx.RuntimeCompiler reference,
+        no services.AddRuntimeCompilation() call. Marten 9 retired the
+        runtime-codegen path entirely; this project is the regression guard
+        that Marten itself stays AOT-clean under that contract.

+// AOT smoke test (marten#4349 / JasperFx/jasperfx#213).
+//
+// This program touches a representative cross-section of the AOT-clean
+// Marten surface for a Static-TypeLoadMode consumer. The csproj sets
+// IsAotCompatible=true, TrimMode=full, and promotes the AOT analyzer warning
+// codes to errors, so any change that adds [RequiresDynamicCode] /
+// [RequiresUnreferencedCode] to an API exercised here — or any change to
+// this file that calls into a reflective Marten surface — fails the build
+// in CI.
+//
+// What's exercised:
+//   - services.AddMarten(opts => { ... }) — the DI-facing entry point.
+//   - One document type with an Id property — exercises the closed-shape
+//     IDocumentStorage / IIdentification path (post-#4404, no Roslyn emit).
+//   - One event type + one SingleStreamProjection<,> registration — the
+//     primary projection-apply surface that Marten 9 routes through
+//     JasperFx.Events.SourceGenerator's [GeneratedEvolver] discovery
+//     (Options.Projections.DiscoverGeneratedEvolvers is called at startup
+//     in DocumentStore.cs).
+//   - StoreOptions.GeneratedCodeMode = TypeLoadMode.Static — pins the
+//     consumer profile that AOT-publishing apps would set.
+//   - Host.CreateApplicationBuilder + Build + DI resolution of
+//     IDocumentStore — the boot path consumers actually hit.
+//
+// What's deliberately NOT exercised:
+//   - Connecting / querying / persisting anything — this is a build-time
+//     analyzer test, not a runtime test. The connection string is a
+//     placeholder; the host is built but never actually opens a connection.
+//   - Compiled queries — Marten.SourceGenerator covers that surface and has
+//     its own analyzer-level tests in Marten.SourceGenerator.Tests.
+//   - JasperFx.RuntimeCompiler / services.AddRuntimeCompilation() — Marten 9
+//     retired that path (#4454 / #4461). This smoke deliberately does not
+//     pull it back in.
