Missing AUTHORS.md drops the ktsu. prefix from every identity

[matt-edmondson]

This repo has no AUTHORS.md, so every identity in it loses the ktsu. prefix.

ktsu.Sdk derives AuthorsNamespace from the first dotted segment of AUTHORS.md. With no such
file the value is empty and the prefix is dropped silently. The project currently builds as:

	Value
Assembly name	FileDeduplicator
Root namespace	FileDeduplicator
Would-be package ID	FileDeduplicator

Forty-nine of the 52 live repos in the org have the file. This one, ImageDescriber, and
ImageGui do not.

Nothing is on nuget.org yet, because the project is OutputType=Exe (via ktsu.Sdk.ConsoleApp) and
ktsu.Sdk marks only libraries and PackAsTool projects as packable. So this is a trap rather than
a break, but it is armed and the trigger is a first release or an added PackAsTool. The assembly
name and namespace are wrong today regardless.

Change

Add AUTHORS.md containing ktsu.dev contributors, matching the other repos. One file, five
minutes, no risk. Everything then derives ktsu.FileDeduplicator.

Content varies slightly across the org already. Most repos say ktsu.dev contributors and
KtsuTools says ktsu-dev. Both reduce to ktsu, so the difference is latent, but match the
majority.

One new constraint on this fix, from #98 (merged).

That PR added FileDeduplicator.Test, which needs InternalsVisibleTo. Because the prefix is currently dropped, the attribute in FileDeduplicator/Properties/AssemblyInfo.cs names the unprefixed assembly:

[assembly: System.Runtime.CompilerServices.InternalsVisibleTo("FileDeduplicator.Test")]

Adding AUTHORS.md must update that literal to ktsu.FileDeduplicator.Test in the same commit. Otherwise the test project silently loses access to Deduplicator, FileHasher, FileScanner and DuplicateGroup, and the build breaks on the next dotnet test.

There is a comment above the attribute pointing here, so it should be hard to miss — but it is a coupling that did not exist when this issue was written.

Worth checking whether ImageDescriber and ImageGui have the same coupling before fixing those two: ImageGui has test projects (ImageGui.Core.Tests, ImageGui.App.UiTests) and ImageDescriber has ImageDescriber.Test, so if any of them carries an InternalsVisibleTo it will need the same treatment.

I filed #97 for the assembly-name half of this before spotting your issue — it was a duplicate and I have closed it as such. This issue is the better one; it covers all three repos and the packaging trap, which mine did not.

Triage

Priority: Medium Effort: Small

What needs to be done: Add AUTHORS.md (content: ktsu.dev contributors) so the project derives the ktsu. prefix correctly. Per the existing comment, the same commit must also update InternalsVisibleTo("FileDeduplicator.Test") in FileDeduplicator/Properties/AssemblyInfo.cs to ktsu.FileDeduplicator.Test, or FileDeduplicator.Test silently loses access to Deduplicator, FileHasher, FileScanner and DuplicateGroup.

Suggested next steps / acceptance criteria:

• Add AUTHORS.md with ktsu.dev contributors, matching the org majority
• Update the InternalsVisibleTo literal to ktsu.FileDeduplicator.Test in the same commit
• Confirm dotnet build/dotnet test still pass afterward (internal-access regression is easy to miss otherwise)

Blockers / dependencies: Part of the estate-wide naming epic ktsu-dev/Sdk#36. Sibling issue ImageDescriber#116 is the identical gap (also check it for the same InternalsVisibleTo coupling before fixing); low-risk and likely best done together with that issue once the convention is confirmed. No change from the prior comment — still accurate, adding this to make the InternalsVisibleTo dependency explicit in the triage record.
