⚙️ [Maintenance]: Build now targets .NET 10 LTS with PowerShell 7.6.1

[Marius Storhaug (MariusStorhaug)]

Sodium now builds against the latest stable .NET 10 LTS runtime and PowerShell SDK 7.6.1, aligning the module toolchain with current platform baselines for ongoing interop hardening and future release validation. The CI pipeline is also updated to recognise the native interop project directory as an important path so that changes there correctly trigger the build, test, and publish stages.

• Fixes Upgrade to .NET 10 LTS and System.Management.Automation 7.6.1 #61

Changed: Build toolchain baseline

The PSModule.Sodium project now targets .NET 10.0, and the System.Management.Automation dependency is updated to 7.6.1. This keeps the module aligned with current PowerShell runtime expectations and removes the prior fallback to .NET 8-era SDK references.

Changed: CI build trigger now includes PSModule/

The PSModule/ directory (which contains Sodium.csproj and build.ps1) is now listed in ImportantFilePatterns in .github/PSModule.yml. Previously, changes to the native interop project files were classified as non-important by the workflow defaults (^src/ and ^README\.md$), causing the build and test stages to be skipped entirely. Adding ^PSModule/ ensures those changes are treated as release-relevant and trigger the full pipeline.

Technical Details

• Updated PSModule/Sodium.csproj:
  • TargetFramework changed from net8.0 to net10.0
  • System.Management.Automation changed from 7.4.7 to 7.6.1
• Updated PSModule/build.ps1 to copy published artifacts from bin/Release/net10.0/<rid>/publish.
• Added ImportantFilePatterns to .github/PSModule.yml with the two default patterns (^src/, ^README\.md$) plus the new ^PSModule/ pattern.
• Implementation plan progress for Upgrade to .NET 10 LTS and System.Management.Automation 7.6.1 #61:
  • Completed: project framework and package version updates, CI trigger configuration.
  • Pending: cross-platform test validation and performance comparison against .NET 8 baseline in CI.

Blocking this PR pending GitHub-hosted runner image updates to PowerShell 7.6 LTS. Current runner images provide PowerShell 7.4.x, which cannot load the net10.0-targeted module assembly (System.Runtime, Version=10.0.0.0) during import/test/doc jobs.
