Pull Request Template

Description

• Adds Direct Version 3.29.0, which upgrades System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager dependency from 4.7.0 to 6.0.0
  • This dependency version is tied to the .NET 6.0 release, which still supports .NET Standard 2.0, so it is not a breaking change.
  • This dependency was upgraded due to a security/compliance alert.
• Performance: Replaces DateTime.UtcNow.ToString("r") with Rfc1123DateTimeCache.UtcNow()
• Fixes ObjectDisposedException during Bounded Staleness/Strong barrier requests
