Build & Validation Pipeline

Run the orchestration CLI to execute the standard pipeline:

# Verify assets, clean, restore, build, test, and pack release artifacts
dotnet run --project src/XBase.Tools -- verify clean restore build test publish

Individual steps can be executed with the corresponding command (e.g., verify, clean, restore, build, test, publish).
