Replace Exceptionless-specific content with accurate Geocoding.net
project details including repository overview, project structure,
coding standards, testing guidance, and available skills/agents.

- Add modern XML solution file (Geocoding.slnx)
- Add Directory.Build.props with shared package metadata

Fix CI package feed org references

- GitHub Packages: chadly → exceptionless
- Feedz: foundatio/foundatio → exceptionless/geocoding

Adopt shared SDK build settings, update provider and test package references, and bring the library code into compliance with the stricter analyzer and XML documentation requirements.

The earlier build churn was driven by stale intermediates plus missing documentation and async/test-platform cleanup in the SDK-style projects, so this commit makes the provider libraries and test suite build and run cleanly under the current toolchain.

Retire the old MVC example project in favor of an SDK-style ASP.NET Core sample that matches the modernized solution layout and tooling.

The new sample keeps provider discovery explicit, validates reverse-geocode input up front, and returns handled problem responses when a provider is unavailable or rejects a request so the out-of-box experience is diagnosable instead of failing with unhandled exceptions.

Consolidates targets from netstandard1.3 and net46 to netstandard2.0 and removes redundant package references and conditional item groups.

Targeting .NET Standard prior to 2.0 is no longer recommended. See https://aka.ms/dotnet/dotnet-standard-guidance for more details.

* Handle disabled Google Geocoding API keys gracefully in tests

Google integration failures were caused by the configured Google Cloud project
having the Geocoding API disabled, which surfaced as REQUEST_DENIED and burned
through the Google test matrix. Preserve Google's provider error message in
GoogleGeocodingException, add a one-time cached Google availability guard that
skips Google integration tests after the first denied request, and add
non-network tests that lock down the parser-to-exception behavior.

* Simplify Google exception tests

Drop the reflection-based parser test and keep the direct exception coverage.
The Google RCA is already proven by the live targeted integration check, so the
extra private-method test added complexity without enough value.

* Stabilize Google postal code filter coverage

With the enabled Google key, the remaining Google failure was not a provider
error but a ZERO_RESULTS response for the live Rothwell + NN14 component-filter
query. Replace that brittle integration case with a deterministic ServiceUrl test
that still verifies postal_code component filter construction without depending
on drifting Google geocoder data.

* Align test settings with sample provider configuration

The test fixture was still reading legacy flat keys while the sample app binds a
Providers section. Teach SettingsFixture to prefer Providers:*:ApiKey values and
fall back to the legacy flat keys so local overrides keep working while test and
sample configuration stay consistent.

* Restore strict shared assertions and stable Google filter coverage

The audit found two test-integrity regressions on this branch: shared White
House assertions had been weakened, and the Google postal-code filter coverage
was reduced to a URL-construction check. Restore the stricter shared assertions
and reinstate live postal-code filter coverage with a stable Google case that
returns OK today.

* Restore explicit Yahoo test skipping for deprecated provider

The branch docs and README say Yahoo remains deprecated and unverified, but the
test suite had been re-enabled by deleting the old skip wrappers. Restore an
explicit centralized skip in YahooGeocoderTest so the branch behavior matches
the documented provider status and upstream OAuth issue history.

* Tighten branch test integrity after full audit

The full test audit found remaining expectation drift and a few integrity
regressions in the branch. Align the async base White House query with the sync
base, restore strict shared assertions, update Google live expectations to match
current provider responses, keep Yahoo explicitly skipped while deprecated, and
scope obsolete warning suppression to the Yahoo compatibility test only.

* Require U.S. country signal in Google bounds-bias test

The bounds-bias test still needed to tolerate ZIP-code drift, but it should not
lose the country-level assertion. Keep the stable locality substring check and
explicitly require the U.S. country signal in both the formatted address and the
parsed address components.

* Keep provider compatibility tests in provider suites

Root cause: the shared test bases eagerly created live geocoder instances in their constructors, which pushed cheap constructor checks into separate files and made the test layout drift away from provider-specific suites. Switching the base tests to lazy generic geocoder access keeps those checks colocated without extra wrapper classes or reflection hacks.

* Align Yahoo test configuration with provider settings

Root cause: Yahoo credentials and behavior had drifted away from the shared provider-configuration pattern, which left tests, sample config, and README guidance out of sync. This restores Yahoo credential gating in tests under Providers:Yahoo while keeping the sample app clear that Yahoo stays out of the runnable surface because the legacy provider still uses insecure endpoints.

* Fix provider review regressions in JSON and input handling

Root cause: the review-driven cleanup exposed missing validation and compatibility gaps in provider payload handling, and one CodeQL cleanup accidentally removed null-tolerant filtering for malformed MapQuest responses.

* Align project agents with Geocoding.net workflows

Root cause: the repo's custom agents and owned skills were copied from Exceptionless-specific workflows and still referenced invalid skills, paths, secret storage, and handoff semantics for this codebase.

* Harden Microsoft parser edge cases

Malformed provider payloads and non-int enum values were still able to slip through shared deserialization paths, which could throw or allocate more than necessary during Bing and Azure response parsing.

* Restore provider compatibility surfaces

The remaining review feedback traced back to public compatibility breaks and stale repo wiring around legacy provider paths. This restores HERE legacy credential support, hardens provider request construction, preserves Google enum values, and realigns docs/tests/sample config with the supported compatibility surface.

* Remove HERE legacy credential flow

Root cause: the branch briefly restored the retired HERE app_id/app_code path even though this major-version line is meant to standardize on the current API-key-based Geocoding and Search API.

Remove the legacy HERE constructor, parsing models, sample/test config, and docs so the public surface matches the intended breaking-change direction.

* Tidy remaining sample and parser review feedback

Root cause: a few low-risk review comments remained open after the provider cleanup even though the behavior-preserving fixes were straightforward.

Alphabetize the sample provider switch and make the Core/Bing filtering logic explicit so the outstanding review feedback matches the current implementation.

* Preserve Microsoft enum compatibility

Root cause: adding fallback enum members and parser hardening without locking the public numeric surface left compatibility and review gaps in the Microsoft provider package.

Restore stable EntityType numeric values, make Azure result filtering explicit, and add a regression snapshot so future enum drift is caught in tests.

* Polish Azure parser filtering

Root cause: the last Azure Maps parser cleanup still left one code-quality complaint on the reverse-address mapping loop.

Use a Select-based reverse-address pipeline so the parser stays explicit about filtering and mapping without changing behavior.

* Re-enable Yahoo tests behind credential gating

Root cause: the Yahoo suite had been hard-skipped even when a user supplied credentials, which prevented intentional compatibility runs.

Remove the unconditional Skip attributes so the existing settings gate controls whether the Yahoo tests execute.

* Harden provider transport error handling

Root cause: the HttpClient transport cleanup left several provider failure paths under-tested and changed exception diagnostics/contracts in ways that made regressions easier to miss.

* Align Google and Yahoo transport failures

Root cause: sibling providers still used the pre-hardening HTTP failure path, so status handling and bounded diagnostics were inconsistent after the transport cleanup.

* Tighten transport regression coverage

Root cause: the new transport hardening tests still had analyzer noise and one locale-sensitive Google channel edge case without regression coverage.

* Fix Location hash stability

Root cause: Location.GetHashCode accidentally combined latitude with itself, so longitude never influenced the hash for this public value-like core type.

* Clean up final analyzer findings

Root cause: the latest push triggered one more static-analysis pass that flagged a disposable test-helper pattern, two Yahoo immutability nits, one unreachable Yahoo throw, and avoidable empty-array allocations in MapQuest.

* Close remaining final-review gaps

Root cause: the provider-modernization branch still had a small set of follow-up inconsistencies around nullable annotations, Bing response handling, and the shared HttpClient test helper after the larger transport and serializer refactors.

* Split shared helpers by concern

Root cause: the monolithic Extensions type mixed collection, enumerable, and JSON behavior in one file, which made the API surface harder to navigate and blocked a cleaner namespace layout for the shared helpers.

* Move shared helpers into Geocoding.Extensions

Root cause: the first split kept a compatibility shim and legacy JSON method casing, which preserved old entry points but did not match the requested .Extensions namespace layout or the desired .NET-style naming for JSON helpers.

* Use the new helpers as real extension methods

Root cause: the previous revision kept the split helper classes but still invoked them like static utilities, which did not match the requested extension-method style or the naming implied by the new Geocoding.Extensions surface.

* Build a real docs site and align sample/test surfaces

Root cause: the repo still exposed thin ad hoc documentation, public testing docs, and sample/test structure that had drifted from the current provider model and lacked dedicated docs validation.\n\nThis adds a VitePress docs site with provider playbooks, moves plan material out of docs, adds dedicated docs CI, aligns shared test namespaces/helpers with folder structure, and makes the sample advertise only providers that are actually usable under its configuration contract.

* Stabilize provider parsing and request handling

Root cause: several provider code paths still relied on culture-sensitive protocol normalization and ambiguous deserialization or disposal patterns, which left review threads open and behavior dependent on locale/runtime details.

* Tighten test naming and remove request disposal ownership

* Apply suggestion from @niemyjski

* Address remaining PR test feedback

Root cause: recent test refactors introduced assertion/name mismatches and test-guard synchronization risks that triggered new review threads.

* Harden MapQuest exception handling

Root cause: MapQuest transport errors still exposed key-bearing request URLs in exception context and used raw Exception instead of provider-specific exceptions.

* Switch Yahoo endpoints to HTTPS

Root cause: Yahoo constants and test expectations still allowed plaintext HTTP URLs, which left an insecure transport path in the compatibility provider.

* Restore strict Google bias and postal assertions

Root cause: test modernization simplified two Google assertions and removed important location-specific expectations used to guard regression behavior.
