Pull request overview
This PR adjusts central package version management and Renovate automation to better align dependency versions with the intended target frameworks, while also tightening test warning visibility.
Changes:
- Updated
Directory.Packages.propsto applySystem.Threading.Channels,System.Linq.Async, andMicrosoft.Bcl.Memoryversions conditionally per TFM (including explicit handling for netstandard and net9). - Added Renovate rules to freeze legacy version “lines” for
System.Threading.ChannelsandSystem.Linq.Asyncwhile allowing newer TFM entries to keep updating. - Removed
NU1608from test projects’ suppressed warnings so version-constraint issues are surfaced.

This pull request updates package management and configuration for multiple target frameworks, improves dependency alignment, and adjusts warning suppression for test projects. The most important changes are grouped below.
Package versioning and target framework alignment
System.Threading.ChannelsandSystem.Linq.Asyncpackage references inDirectory.Packages.propsto better align versions with the appropriate target frameworks, including explicit handling fornetstandard2.0,netstandard2.1,net8.0, andnet9.0. This ensures that each framework uses the most compatible and runtime-aligned package version.Microsoft.Bcl.Memoryfor specific target frameworks (net8.0,net9.0,netstandard2.1,netstandard2.0), improving dependency management and avoiding unnecessary package references for other frameworks.Dependency update automation
