# All C# NuGet versions live in the single root Directory.Packages.props (Central Package
# Management), so ONE root-scoped block watches the whole solution — a new extension following the
# template shape is covered with no dependabot edit (additive-by-config, mirroring the catalog-driven
# CI matrix). Cove.Sdk/Cove.Plugins are pinned via the $(CoveSdkVersion) MSBuild property (hand-bumped
# in lockstep with the host); Dependabot cannot bump a property indirection, so that is a documented,
# intentional gap — not a missing watch.

# Host-provided / host-ABI-critical packages are hand-bumped in lockstep with the deployed Cove
# host, NEVER by Dependabot: Cove.Sdk/Cove.Plugins/Cove.Core ARE the host SDK (version pinned to
# the $(CoveSdkVersion) property and coupled to each extension's minCoveVersion), and EF Core is
# referenced Private=false so its version MUST equal the host's runtime (a mismatch is an
# AssemblyLoadContext type-identity break). Dependabot does not respect the $(CoveSdkVersion)
# property indirection — it rewrote the property + injected a VersionOverride — so it opened
# exactly these wrong PRs (#62/#82/#83) until this explicit ignore.
