Retargets MUIndex to .NET 11 RC 1 (net11.0, SDK 11.0.100-rc.1.26425.128). Independent of #178, which waits on TelnetNegotiationCore 3.0.0.

What changed

  • Toolchain. A new global.json pins the RC 1 SDK build (rollForward: latestFeature, prerelease allowed). CI's setup-dotnet now reads global-json-file: global.json instead of its own 10.0.x, so CI and a laptop resolve the same SDK.
  • Packages. The Microsoft.Extensions.* packages move to 11.0.0-rc.1.26425.128. Npgsql has no 11.x yet and stays on 10.0.3, which runs on .NET 11.
  • Image. Pinned to sdk:11.0.100-rc.1 / aspnet:11.0.0-rc.1 rather than the floating 11.0 tag, so RC 2 or GA doesn't reach production through Watchtower without a PR.
  • Seven package references removed. .NET 11 ships Microsoft.Extensions.Logging.Abstractions, Hosting.Abstractions and DependencyInjection.Abstractions inside Microsoft.NETCore.App (checked in the shared framework directory: present in 11 RC 1, absent in 10.0.11). NU1510 is an error here and refuses the explicit references. The Crawler's "abstractions only" rule is unchanged; it's now kept by what its project doesn't reference.
  • System.Text.Encoding.CodePages removed too. Its comment said NU1510 was wrong about it. Measured on .NET 11: with the package removed, the Crawl suite's GBK/Big5 cases (a real pkuxkx GBK line among them) all pass. What's needed is WireEncoding's RegisterProvider call. The comment there had conflated the call with the package and now says which is which. I didn't re-measure the old claim on .NET 10.

Heads-up for production

The aspnet:11.0.0-rc.1 base image is Ubuntu 26.04 (was 24.04). The Dockerfile's apt-get install curl still works. ICU 78 is present, which matters because invariant globalization is off for the translations.

Merging deploys an RC runtime through Watchtower within about five minutes. It is still a release candidate.

Stale docs fixed in passing

  • CLAUDE.md said five suites; CI runs six (I3). It also named only Catalog and Crawler as needing Postgres; CI requires it for Web too.
  • The Dockerfile said InvariantGlobalization was on. Directory.Build.props turned it off when the translations landed.

Verification

  • dotnet build MUIndex.slnx -c Release on RC 1: 0 warnings, 0 errors (TreatWarningsAsErrors).
  • All six suites pass with MUI_REQUIRE_POSTGRES=1: Catalog 643, Crawl 566, Discovery 336, I3 13, Crawler 342, Web 1250.
  • tools/check-image-restore.py and tools/check-compose-settings.py pass.
  • Image built and run with podman on the fixture: runtime 11.0.0-rc.1.26425.128; /health, /, /games return 200; Accept-Language: de renders <html lang="de"> with German copy. The only app warning is the expected demo-data notice.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Upgraded the application and container images to .NET 11 Release Candidate 1.
    • Added SDK version pinning to provide consistent builds and development environments.
    • Updated runtime configuration to support globalization through the included ICU libraries.
  • Documentation

    • Updated build, deployment, and testing guidance for .NET 11.
    • Clarified that six test projects run through Microsoft.Testing.Platform and that some integration tests require PostgreSQL.

net11.0 on SDK 11.0.100-rc.1.26425.128, pinned in a new global.json that CI now reads rather than
typing its own version. The Microsoft packages move to 11.0.0-rc.1.26425.128; Npgsql has no 11.x
and stays on 10.0.3. The image pins sdk:11.0.100-rc.1 and aspnet:11.0.0-rc.1 rather than the
floating 11.0 tag, so RC 2 does not reach production through Watchtower unannounced.

.NET 11 ships the logging, hosting and DI abstractions in Microsoft.NETCore.App, and NU1510 -- an
error here -- refuses the seven explicit references to them, so they go. The Crawler's
abstractions-only rule is unchanged; it is now kept by what its project does not reference.

System.Text.Encoding.CodePages goes too. Its comment said NU1510 was wrong about it and that
GetEncoding("gbk") throws without it; measured on .NET 11 with the package removed, the Crawl
suite's GBK and Big5 cases all pass. What they need is the RegisterProvider call in WireEncoding,
whose comment conflated the call with the package and now says which is which.

The aspnet image moves from Ubuntu 24.04 to 26.04 under this. Built and run with podman on the
fixture: /health, /, /games 200; Accept-Language: de renders German, which needs ICU (libicu 78
is present).

Stale docs fixed in passing: CLAUDE.md counted five suites where CI runs six (I3), and named only
Catalog and Crawler as needing Postgres where CI requires it for Web too; the Dockerfile said
InvariantGlobalization was on, which Directory.Build.props turned off when translations landed.

Walkthrough

The project moves from .NET 10 to .NET 11 RC1. It pins the SDK, updates package and container versions, removes framework-provided package references, and aligns CI, deployment, and documentation.

Changes

.NET 11 RC1 migration

Layer / File(s) Summary
Framework and toolchain configuration
global.json, Directory.Build.props, Directory.Packages.props
The SDK and shared target framework now use .NET 11 RC1. Microsoft.Extensions package versions are updated. Framework-provided package declarations are removed.
Framework-provided project dependencies
src/MUI.*/*.csproj, src/MUI.Crawl/Wire/WireEncoding.cs
Project files remove redundant Microsoft.Extensions and code-page package references. Code-page registration comments reflect shared-framework support.
Build, CI, and documentation alignment
Dockerfile, docs/deploy.md, .github/workflows/ci.yml, CLAUDE.md, README.md
Build and runtime images use .NET 11 RC1. CI reads the SDK from global.json and documents six test projects. Build, deployment, and test guidance now describes .NET 11 behavior and runtime requirements.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~12 minutes

Change: Other

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to bb2fe

Builds can use a different .NET SDK than the RC1 version this migration targets, reducing CI and local-build reproducibility. The test guidance also gives contributors an incorrect reason for avoiding dotnet test.

comment and corresponding documentation: clarify that VSTest remains the default
for dotnet test, while this repository conventionally runs each TUnit project
directly with dotnet run. Apply the wording consistently in

- Line 4: Update the rollForward setting in global.json from latestFeature to

Comment thread .github/workflows/ci.yml Outdated
Comment thread global.json Outdated
…ke CI's token read-only

global.json rolled forward to the latest feature band, so a machine or runner with a later 11.0 SDK
installed would build with that one while the docs said the build was pinned. rollForward is now
disable: RC 1's exact build or nothing, and moving off it is a one-line change to this file.

".NET 10 dropped VSTest" was not what happened. VSTest still exists; since the .NET 10 SDK,
dotnet test's default VSTest mode refuses a Microsoft.Testing.Platform project (measured: "Testing
with VSTest target is no longer supported by Microsoft.Testing.Platform on .NET 10 SDK and
later"), and this repository has not opted into the MTP mode. Corrected in ci.yml, README.md and
CLAUDE.md. The same ci.yml comment also named only Catalog and Crawler as wanting Postgres.

CI declares permissions: contents: read. Nothing in it writes to the repository, and it ran with
the default token permissions (zizmor's excessive-permissions).
