`dotnet new` Connector Scaffold

[tsutomi]

"The fastest path to a correct connector is starting from one that already compiles."

The Problem Today

There is no formal starting point for implementing a new connector. Contributors must infer the expected project structure, base class overrides, capability declarations, DI registration pattern, and xUnit test helper conventions by reading existing connectors — a slow and error-prone process.

What We Are Building

A dotnet new template package (Ratatosk.Connector.Templates) that generates a fully wired connector solution: the connector project with correct base class overrides and a IChannelSchema factory, a companion xUnit test helper package, and a minimal usage sample — all pre-configured and immediately buildable.

Benefits

• New connectors compile and pass a baseline test suite from the first dotnet build
• Naming conventions, project layout, and package references are consistent across all connectors
• Lowers the barrier for community contributions
