## Usage

```ts
import { execFileSync } from "node:child_process";

const projectPath = "Pams/API/Pams.API/Pams.API.csproj";

execFileSync("dotnet", ["restore", projectPath], {
  stdio: "inherit",
});

execFileSync("dotnet", ["build", projectPath], {
  stdio: "inherit",
});
```

## AI Coding Instructions

- Keep the `Microsoft.Web.XmlTransform` dependency declared in `Pams/API/Pams.API/Pams.API.csproj`.
- Run `dotnet restore` before building when package assets are not already available.
- Treat this package as a build-time .NET dependency; do not attempt to import it from TypeScript or JavaScript application code.
- Check XML transform files and build configuration when transformed settings do not appear in build output.
