dotnet ef throws MissingMethodException on ArgumentIsEmpty because Tools 10.0.6 stopped pulling a matching Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.Design. Pin Design explicitly to your EF Core version.

Move every package version out of your csproj files into one Directory.Packages.props. Covers a generator script that reconciles conflicting versions with real semver ordering, the before/after dependency-graph diff that proves what moved, NU1008/NU1010/NU1013/NU1507, transitive pinning, GlobalPackageReference, VersionOverride, and why a nested Directory.Packages.props silently shadows the root one.

NuGet.org drops the 365-day API key option on August 17, 2026, caps new keys at 30 days, and expires every key created before that date on November 1. Here is what breaks and how to move a publish workflow to OIDC trusted publishing.

A modern UiPath custom activity needs more than a CodeActivity: a DesignPropertiesViewModel, an embedded metadata file for the toolbox, private host-supplied references, and the right System.Activities assembly version. Here's the whole recipe.

One repo, three NuGet packages, independent versions. Per-package MinVer tag prefixes, a tag-driven GitHub Actions release that publishes via OIDC trusted publishing (no API key), pinning a cross-package dependency to a real version, and the default-branch gotcha that silently swallows your first tag.

NuGet Package Pruning shipped on-by-default for net10.0 projects, cutting transitive vulnerability reports by 70% and restore times by up to 50%.
