Pull request overview
This PR updates the repo-wide NuGet packing configuration to ensure the project’s license text file is embedded in produced .nupkg artifacts, improving compliance and metadata completeness for consumers.
Changes:
- Adds
PackageLicenseFilemetadata pointing toLICENSE.txt. - Packs
LICENSE.txtinto the NuGet package root alongside other package assets.
Co-authored-by: Copilot Autofix powered by AI <[email protected]>
- Updated file inclusion paths in `Directory.Build.props` and `_atom.csproj` to use `$(MSBuildThisFileDirectory)` for consistency. - Added `.gitattributes` to enforce LF endings on `.verified.txt` and `.received.txt` files. - Updated copyright information in `LICENSE.txt` to reflect the correct author. No functional changes introduced.
