Conversation
SerilogLogger now calls TryGetProperties() to extract context properties set via the core WithContext() API and converts them to Serilog PropertyEnrichers. This enables structured context enrichment through the standard Akka.NET logging API. Deprecated SerilogLoggingAdapter and ForContext() extension in favor of the core ILoggingAdapter.WithContext() method. Depends on akkadotnet/akka.net#8042
