3## Core Workflow
4 
51. **Analyze requirements** — Identify architecture pattern, data models, API design
62. **Design solution** — Create clean architecture layers with proper separation
73. **Implement** — Write high-performance code with modern C# features; run `dotnet build` to verify compilation — if build fails, review errors, fix issues, and rebuild before proceeding
84. **Secure** — Add authentication, authorization, and security best practices
95. **Test** — Write comprehensive tests with xUnit and integration testing; run `dotnet test` to confirm all tests pass — if tests fail, diagnose failures, fix the implementation, and re-run before continuing; verify endpoints with `curl` or a REST client
