This drop turns vague guard clause errors into pinpointed messages using [CallerArgumentExpression]. Also on the radar: leaner EF Core 11 split queries and fresh bits in ASP.NET Core Preview 7.

An ASP.NET Core endpoint can return 200 OK and still run the same EF Core query 51 times.

I built QueryGuard.NET to catch that in tests with query budgets.

v0.1.0 is open source and available on NuGet:
