Add automatic application name extraction from csproj files

- Implemented TryExtractApplicationNameFromProject() to read app name from .csproj
- Searches up to 3 parent directories for project file
- Extracts <AssemblyName> property or falls back to csproj filename
- Applies platform-specific extensions (.exe on Windows, none on Linux/macOS)
- Added test for project file extraction functionality (36/36 tests passing)
- Updated documentation to explain auto-discovery feature
- All tests passing: 61/61 CoreTest, 36/36 ConfiginfoBuilder

 **Design Philosophy**: Inspired by zero-configuration patterns from projects like [Velopack](https://github.com/velopack/velopack), this builder minimizes required configuration while maintaining flexibility through optional fluent setters.
 
+## Automatic Configuration Detection
+
+The ConfiginfoBuilder implements intelligent zero-configuration by automatically extracting information from your project:
+
+### Application Name Auto-Detection
+
+The builder automatically attempts to read the application name from your project file (`.csproj`):
+
+1. **Searches** for csproj files in the application's directory and up to 3 parent directories
+2. **Extracts** the `<AssemblyName>` property if specified
+3. **Falls back** to the csproj file name if `AssemblyName` is not defined
+4. **Applies** platform-specific extensions (`.exe` on Windows, none on Linux/macOS)
+
+**Example:**
+```xml
+<!-- MyApp.csproj -->
+<Project Sdk="Microsoft.NET.Sdk">
+  <PropertyGroup>
+    <AssemblyName>MyApplication</AssemblyName>
+  </PropertyGroup>
+</Project>
+```
+
+When the builder runs, it will automatically use `MyApplication.exe` on Windows or `MyApplication` on Linux/macOS, without any manual configuration needed!
