[Feature] Full AOT Support

[robertmclaws]

I'm building MCP server and Claude Hooks in situations where milliseconds add up very very quickly.

I absolutely love this library and would use it over Spectre.Console any day of the week.

I need the ability to fully AOT my console apps so I can squeeze out the absolute best performance possible.

Given the nature of the architecture, that would mean that attribute-based loading would need SourceGenerators to implement non-reflection-based loading when compiling AOT apps.

I believe Claude would be able to implement this with almost no effort.

So, the idea of AOT was still pretty fresh when I was working on .NET. It’s been about 7 years since then. Can you give me a brief overview of what it this entails? I see the PR has a new project and some big chunks of code refactored. I am not familiar with source generators so not sure how to verify compatibility or correctness.

Also, thanks for the feedback. Glad to hear it’s a library you enjoy using, and thanks for the contributions!

Initial support was built by @robertmclaws (many thanks!) and will be published soon as a beta.

Just applying a few post-PR fixes in #583 first before posting to nuget...

Thanks so much for accepting the PR. Going to close this now... we can re-open if issues come up.
