## AI Coding Instructions

- Keep project configuration changes in `Pams/HelperTool/HelperTool.csproj` aligned with the solution's existing .NET settings.
- Use `dotnet build Pams/HelperTool/HelperTool.csproj` to validate project-file and source changes.
- Check project references and package references before adding dependencies.
- Treat this project as a .NET build target; JavaScript integrations should invoke it through the .NET CLI or a defined executable interface.
