How to validate options at startup with IValidateOptions<T> in .NET 11

Implement IValidateOptions<T>, register it in DI, and chain ValidateOnStart so a bad appsettings.json kills the process instead of the first request that touches it. Covers the .NET 11 Validate<TValidator>() overload, async validation through IAsyncValidateOptions<T>, and the three places ValidateOnStart silently does nothing.

IOptions<T> vs IOptionsSnapshot<T> vs IOptionsMonitor<T> in .NET 11

Default to IOptions<T>. Use IOptionsMonitor<T> when a singleton has to see config reloads, and IOptionsSnapshot<T> only when a scoped consumer wants a value that is stable for one request. The deciding axis is the lifetime of the consumer, not the shape of the settings.
