import { promisify } from "node:util";

const execFileAsync = promisify(execFile);

await execFileAsync("dotnet", [

AI Coding Instructions

• Keep Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.Tools as a NuGet package reference in Pams.API.Core.csproj when Entity Framework Core CLI commands are required.
• Run dotnet ef commands against the project containing the Entity Framework Core configuration.
• Use migrations to track database schema changes rather than editing the database schema manually.
• If the startup project differs from Pams.API.Core, pass the appropriate --startup-project argument to dotnet ef.
