wjones 8f860a8ec3 Centralize build output and generate OS-specific startup.json

- All DLLs now output to lib\[Configuration]\[TargetFramework]\ at repo root (see Directory.Build.props)
- .gitignore updated to exclude /lib/
- On first run, startup.json is auto-generated with OS-appropriate default paths (Windows, Linux, macOS, or portable)
- Removes null/example config; generated config is immediately usable and clearly documented
- Extensive new documentation: build output, startup.json logic, visual guides, and code proofs
- Publish profile now deletes existing files for clean deploys
- No breaking changes: existing startup.json files are preserved
- Improves first-run UX, deployment, and cross-platform consistency
