NuGet package dependency

`Microsoft.Owin` is a NuGet package dependency declared in `Pams/API/Pams.API/Pams.API.csproj`. It supports the OWIN middleware pipeline used by the Pams API to process HTTP requests and generate HTTP responses.

    participant PamsAPI as Pams API
    participant Owin as Microsoft.Owin Middleware
    participant Handler as API Handler

    Client->>PamsAPI: HTTP request
    PamsAPI->>Owin: Create OWIN request context
    Owin->>Handler: Invoke request pipeline
    Handler-->>Owin: Response data
    Owin-->>PamsAPI: Create HTTP response
    PamsAPI-->>Client: HTTP response
```

## Usage

```typescript
async function getPamsData() {
  const response = await fetch("/api/pams");

  if (!response.ok) {
    throw new Error(`Pams API request failed: ${response.status}`);
  }

  return response.json();
}

getPamsData().then((data) => {
  console.log(data);
});
```

## AI Coding Instructions

- Treat `Microsoft.Owin` as a server-side dependency configured through `Pams.API.csproj`.
- Keep OWIN middleware changes within the API startup and request-pipeline configuration.
- Check package compatibility before changing the `Microsoft.Owin` package reference in the legacy-format project file.
- Test API endpoints after middleware changes because request handling and response behavior can change.
