🍰Fairly proud of this one! It took a bit of effort to turn the Cake .NET tool scripting engine into "just" a single SDK directive for use in regular .NET projects, but with the simplicity&feel of the DSL, making migrating existing scripts fairly straightforward.
Also same day .NET 10 & C#14 support🎉

This seems like something that should be corrected. Thoughts?
I understand that I am likely screaming into the abyss on this, but thought I should at least try.
