- Remove VsixTemplateZip item type and related targets (VSSDK handles template packaging natively when Content entries are in manifest) - Keep VsixTemplateReference for cross-project templates (copies folders from referenced projects to local ProjectTemplates/ItemTemplates) - Add proper VSIXSubPath metadata so copied templates are placed at correct paths in the VSIX - Update E2E tests: remove PreBuiltZip, add Reference and ReferenceManual - Update workflow to verify new template reference tests - Update documentation to reflect simplified template handling Closes #39
Add Content items for auto-discovered project and item templates so they are included in the VSIX package. The removal of template zipping also removed the mechanism that added templates to the VSIX, which broke auto-discovery scenarios.
Update documentation to accurately reflect that this SDK includes template files in the VSIX, not VSSDK. The manifest Content entries are for VS template registration, not file inclusion.
