Split Ploch.Packages.props into per-repo version variables

[kploch]

Problem

Ploch.Packages.props uses a single PlochPackagesVersion=3.0.0 variable for ALL 22 Ploch packages (both Ploch.Common.* and Ploch.Data.*). This causes problems because:

1. ploch-common and ploch-data release independently — they have different latest versions on the feeds. Forcing a single version guarantees breakage whenever one releases ahead of the other.
2. Version 3.0.0 doesn't exist on any feed for most packages — only in local NuGet caches. Latest published stable: Ploch.Common 2.0.1 (GitHub Packages), Ploch.Data 2.1.0 (NuGet.org + GitHub). Prerelease 3.1.x-prerelease versions exist on GitHub Packages.
3. This causes NU1603 warnings ("dependency version not found, nearest resolved instead"), which become build errors in test projects due to TreatWarningsAsErrors=true.

Proposed Change

Replace the single version variable with two independent variables:

<PropertyGroup>
    <!-- Latest prerelease versions published to GitHub Packages.
         Update after each release or when consuming a newer prerelease.
         Post-release checklist:
         1. After releasing ploch-common: update PlochCommonPackagesVersion
         2. After releasing ploch-data:   update PlochDataPackagesVersion
         3. Run dotnet restore in consuming repos to verify resolution -->
    <PlochCommonPackagesVersion>3.1.1-prerelease</PlochCommonPackagesVersion>
    <PlochDataPackagesVersion>3.1.3-prerelease</PlochDataPackagesVersion>
</PropertyGroup>

Then assign each PackageVersion entry to the correct variable:

• Ploch.Common, Ploch.Common.*, Ploch.TestingSupport.* → $(PlochCommonPackagesVersion)
• Ploch.Data.* → $(PlochDataPackagesVersion)

File

dependencies/Ploch.Packages.props

Verification

After the change, run dotnet restore in ploch-data, ploch-lists, ploch-groupmatters, and any other consuming repo. All should resolve from GitHub Packages without NU1603.

Implementation Plan

Current State

dependencies/Ploch.Packages.props uses a single PlochPackagesVersion=3.0.0 variable for all 22 packages (lines 1–23):

<Project>
    <PropertyGroup>
        <PlochPackagesVersion>3.0.0</PlochPackagesVersion>
    </PropertyGroup>
    <ItemGroup>
        <PackageVersion Include="Ploch.Common.AppServices" Version="$(PlochPackagesVersion)" />
        <PackageVersion Include="Ploch.Data.GenericRepository" Version="$(PlochPackagesVersion)" />
        <PackageVersion Include="Ploch.Data.GenericRepository.EFCore" Version="$(PlochPackagesVersion)" />
        <PackageVersion Include="Ploch.Data.Model" Version="$(PlochPackagesVersion)" />
        <PackageVersion Include="Ploch.Data.EFCore" Version="$(PlochPackagesVersion)" />
        <PackageVersion Include="Ploch.Data.EFCore.IntegrationTesting" Version="$(PlochPackagesVersion)" />
        <PackageVersion Include="Ploch.Data.EFCore.SqLite" Version="$(PlochPackagesVersion)" />
        <PackageVersion Include="Ploch.Data.EFCore.SqlServer" Version="$(PlochPackagesVersion)" />
        <PackageVersion Include="Ploch.Data.GenericRepository.EFCore.IntegrationTesting" Version="$(PlochPackagesVersion)" />
        <PackageVersion Include="Ploch.Common" Version="$(PlochPackagesVersion)" />
        <PackageVersion Include="Ploch.Common.DependencyInjection" Version="$(PlochPackagesVersion)" />
        <PackageVersion Include="Ploch.Common.Net9" Version="$(PlochPackagesVersion)" />
        <PackageVersion Include="Ploch.Common.DataAnnotations" Version="$(PlochPackagesVersion)" />
        <PackageVersion Include="Ploch.TestingSupport" Version="$(PlochPackagesVersion)" />
        <PackageVersion Include="Ploch.TestingSupport.Xunit" Version="$(PlochPackagesVersion)" />
        <PackageVersion Include="Ploch.TestingSupport.FluentAssertions" Version="$(PlochPackagesVersion)" />
    </ItemGroup>
</Project>

Proposed Change

Replace the single variable with two independent version variables and group packages by release unit. The full replacement file:

<Project>
    <PropertyGroup>
        <PlochCommonPackagesVersion>3.1.1-prerelease</PlochCommonPackagesVersion>
        <PlochDataPackagesVersion>3.1.3-prerelease</PlochDataPackagesVersion>
    </PropertyGroup>
    <ItemGroup>
        <!-- Ploch.Common packages (from ploch-common repo) -->
        <PackageVersion Include="Ploch.Common" Version="$(PlochCommonPackagesVersion)" />
        <PackageVersion Include="Ploch.Common.AppServices" Version="$(PlochCommonPackagesVersion)" />
        <PackageVersion Include="Ploch.Common.DataAnnotations" Version="$(PlochCommonPackagesVersion)" />
        <PackageVersion Include="Ploch.Common.DependencyInjection" Version="$(PlochCommonPackagesVersion)" />
        <PackageVersion Include="Ploch.Common.Net9" Version="$(PlochCommonPackagesVersion)" />
        <PackageVersion Include="Ploch.TestingSupport" Version="$(PlochCommonPackagesVersion)" />
        <PackageVersion Include="Ploch.TestingSupport.FluentAssertions" Version="$(PlochCommonPackagesVersion)" />
        <PackageVersion Include="Ploch.TestingSupport.Xunit" Version="$(PlochCommonPackagesVersion)" />

        <!-- Ploch.Data packages (from ploch-data repo) -->
        <PackageVersion Include="Ploch.Data.EFCore" Version="$(PlochDataPackagesVersion)" />
        <PackageVersion Include="Ploch.Data.EFCore.IntegrationTesting" Version="$(PlochDataPackagesVersion)" />
        <PackageVersion Include="Ploch.Data.EFCore.SqLite" Version="$(PlochDataPackagesVersion)" />
        <PackageVersion Include="Ploch.Data.EFCore.SqlServer" Version="$(PlochDataPackagesVersion)" />
        <PackageVersion Include="Ploch.Data.GenericRepository" Version="$(PlochDataPackagesVersion)" />
        <PackageVersion Include="Ploch.Data.GenericRepository.EFCore" Version="$(PlochDataPackagesVersion)" />
        <PackageVersion Include="Ploch.Data.GenericRepository.EFCore.IntegrationTesting" Version="$(PlochDataPackagesVersion)" />
        <PackageVersion Include="Ploch.Data.Model" Version="$(PlochDataPackagesVersion)" />
    </ItemGroup>
</Project>

What Changes and Why

1. PlochPackagesVersion removed — replaced by PlochCommonPackagesVersion and PlochDataPackagesVersion.
2. Packages grouped by release unit — Common/TestingSupport packages (from ploch-common repo) use one version; Data packages (from ploch-data repo) use the other.
3. Packages sorted alphabetically within each group for readability.
4. Version values set to 3.1.1-prerelease and 3.1.3-prerelease as specified in the issue — these match what's published on GitHub Packages.

Package-to-Variable Mapping

Variable	Packages
$(PlochCommonPackagesVersion)	Ploch.Common, Ploch.Common.AppServices, Ploch.Common.DataAnnotations, Ploch.Common.DependencyInjection, Ploch.Common.Net9, Ploch.TestingSupport, Ploch.TestingSupport.FluentAssertions, Ploch.TestingSupport.Xunit
$(PlochDataPackagesVersion)	Ploch.Data.EFCore, Ploch.Data.EFCore.IntegrationTesting, Ploch.Data.EFCore.SqLite, Ploch.Data.EFCore.SqlServer, Ploch.Data.GenericRepository, Ploch.Data.GenericRepository.EFCore, Ploch.Data.GenericRepository.EFCore.IntegrationTesting, Ploch.Data.Model

Impact on Consuming Repos

No changes required in consuming repos. They import Ploch.Packages.props via Directory.Packages.props, which reads the PackageVersion entries. Since the Include names are unchanged, only the version resolution changes. Any repo that doesn't reference Ploch.Data packages simply never evaluates $(PlochDataPackagesVersion), and vice versa.

Verification Steps

After applying, run dotnet restore in each consuming repo to confirm no NU1603 warnings:

dotnet restore ploch-data/Ploch.Data.slnx
dotnet restore ploch-lists/Ploch.Lists.Api.slnx
dotnet restore ploch-groupmatters/src/Ploch.GroupMatters.sln

Future Extensibility

If a third repo family of Ploch packages emerges (e.g. Ploch.Web.*), add a third variable following the same pattern — one variable per independently-releasing repo.
