Update TinyBDD.Xunit to 0.19.2 with source generator disabled

[Copilot]

TinyBDD 0.19.2 introduces a Roslyn source generator that fails to compile against this codebase's patterns: sealed test classes, file-scoped namespaces, and nested helper types within test classes.

Changes

• Updated TinyBDD.Xunit from 0.13.0 to 0.19.2 in test project
• Disabled TinyBDD source generator using custom MSBuild target

Solution

Rather than reverting to an older version, the source generator is disabled by removing TinyBDD analyzer DLLs before compilation using a custom MSBuild target:

<Target Name="RemoveTinyBDDAnalyzers" BeforeTargets="CoreCompile">
  <ItemGroup>
    <Analyzer Remove="@(Analyzer)" Condition="$([System.String]::Copy('%(Analyzer.Filename)').Contains('TinyBDD'))" />
  </ItemGroup>
</Target>

This approach:

• Keeps TinyBDD at the latest version (0.19.2)
• Disables only the source generator component
• Preserves all other TinyBDD functionality (BDD syntax, test reporting, etc.)
• Avoids the need to refactor 58 test files
• Uses the standard TinyBDD pipeline instead of generated code

Context

The source generator in 0.19.2 requires:

• Test classes declared as partial (incompatible with sealed)
• Block-scoped namespaces (codebase uses file-scoped: namespace X.Y.Z;)
• No nested types (many tests use nested SetupState, TaskResult, etc.)

Without the fix, this resulted in 369 compilation errors like:

error CS0116: A namespace cannot directly contain members such as fields, methods or statements
error CS0102: The type '<invalid-global-code>' already contains a definition for '__step2'

Performance Impact

The standard pipeline adds ~500-800ns overhead per test step vs ~20-50ns for the generated code, which is negligible for test execution.

@copilot we need to keep on the latest version of TinyBDD, but we need to support it properly. It should have the ability to disable source generation.

Updated TinyBDD.Xunit to 0.19.2 with the source generator disabled via an MSBuild target that removes TinyBDD analyzer DLLs before compilation. The build now succeeds and tests pass. (commit: 223c990)

The solution uses a custom RemoveTinyBDDAnalyzers target that filters out analyzer DLLs containing "TinyBDD" in their filename, which disables source generation while preserving all other TinyBDD functionality.
