Nice presentation -- great structure and your code demonstration was clear! I'm curious about your process for creating strongly-typed wrappers around the dotnet commands. Was this a manual process or did you eventually figure out a way to automate it?

Thanks ❤️ Currently it's manually curated & tested using unit and integration tests, mostly prioritized based on need. The creator of Cake @patriksvensson.se is working on OpenCli ( patriksvensson.se/posts/2025/0... ) & for apps that support it in theory should be able to source generate settings.

There are challenges though, i.e. .NET SDK CLI totally changes its command line "contract" based on environment for some commands, i.e. dotnet test has different commands based on what's in global json, some nuget commands historically changed based on environment variables etc.
