## Usage

```ts
import { readFile } from "node:fs/promises";

const projectFile = "Pams/HelperTool/HelperTool.csproj";
const projectXml = await readFile(projectFile, "utf8");

const hasFastMemberSigned =
  /(?:Include|Update)="FastMember\.Signed"/.test(projectXml);

if (!hasFastMemberSigned) {
  throw new Error("FastMember.Signed is not declared in HelperTool.csproj");
}

console.log("FastMember.Signed dependency is declared.");
```

## AI Coding Instructions

- Keep the `FastMember.Signed` package declaration in `Pams/HelperTool/HelperTool.csproj`.
- Restore NuGet packages before building the HelperTool project.
- Do not replace `FastMember.Signed` with a differently named FastMember package without checking signed-package requirements.
- Check project-file dependency declarations when resolving missing FastMember types or build errors.
