Walkthrough

Updated project registrations in the AppHost Program.cs from generic type-based API calls to explicit relative csproj path-based registrations for four projects (serverweb, serverapi, clientwebwasm, clientwindows) to support aspire configuration requirements.

Changes

Cohort / File(s)	Change Summary
AppHost Project Registration Migration src/Templates/Boilerplate/Bit.Boilerplate/src/Server/Boilerplate.Server.AppHost/Program.cs	Replaced four generic AddProject<T>(name) calls with explicit path-based AddProject(name, csprojPath) registrations: serverweb, serverapi, clientwebwasm, and clientwindows projects now use explicit relative paths to their .csproj files instead of type-based resolution.

Poem

🐰 A hop through the aspire we take,
With paths explicit for config's sake,
Four projects aligned in perfect view,
Boilerplate paths renewed and true! 🌟

Check name	Status	Explanation
Description Check	✅ Passed	Check skipped - CodeRabbit’s high-level summary is enabled.
Title Check	✅ Passed	The pull request title "Use projects relative paths for aspire (#11508)" directly and accurately summarizes the main change in the changeset. The raw summary confirms that the code replaces generic type-based project registrations (AddProject()) with explicit csproj-path-based registrations (AddProject(name, path)) across multiple project registrations in the Program.cs file. The title is concise, clear, and specific enough for reviewers scanning the history to quickly understand the primary change.
Linked Issues Check	✅ Passed	The linked issue #11508 requires the boilerplate to use projects-relative paths for aspire, and the code changes directly fulfill this requirement. The raw summary shows that all four project registrations (serverweb, serverapi, clientwebwasm, clientwindows) have been converted from generic type-based registration to explicit csproj-path-based registration, with each using a relative path to its respective project file. The changes in Program.cs are solely focused on this conversion pattern, with surrounding fluent calls preserved and only the project specification method signature changing from AddProject(string) to AddProject(string, string).
Out of Scope Changes Check	✅ Passed	All changes in this pull request are directly related to the linked issue requirement to use projects-relative paths for aspire. The modifications are confined to the Program.cs file, converting four project registrations from generic type-based to explicit path-based registration methods. The removal of sample comments is a minor, incidental change directly tied to the method signature update and does not introduce any out-of-scope functionality or unrelated modifications.

Pull Request Overview

This PR migrates the .NET Aspire project references from using the generic AddProject<T>() method with compile-time generated project types to using the explicit AddProject(string, string) overload with hardcoded project paths. This change eliminates the need for the Projects namespace and removes the requirement to replace dots with underscores in project type names.

• Replaced all four AddProject<T>() calls with AddProject(name, path) calls
• Updated project paths to use relative paths from the AppHost directory
• Removed the need for workaround comments about replacing dots with underscores

Comments suppressed due to low confidence (1)

• The using Projects; directive is no longer used after migrating to explicit project path references. This unused import should be removed.
