Package

SAIF.Premium.Api.Client is an SDK-style net8.0 class library that dotnet pack turns into a NuGet package straight from its .csproj; there is no nuspec. The project does not set a version: the PremiumApi_Client pipeline supplies one from its build number, in the form 8.2026.1021.1, and branch builds carry a branch-name suffix. The package ships the compiled client, its symbols, and the SAIF.Premium.Api.Contracts assembly bundled from a project reference. The feed and the publish trigger are not stated in the repository.

Dependencies

Dependency	Version	Purpose
SAIF.NetCore.ServiceExtensions	8.2.1	IHttpJsonClient and IEnvironmentClient service surface
SAIF.Http.ResponseValidator	8.0.3	HttpResponseValidator.ValidateHttpResponse
Microsoft.Extensions.DependencyInjection.Abstractions	8.0.1	IServiceCollection and AddTransient for the AddPremiumClient() registration extension

Microsoft.Extensions.DependencyInjection.Abstractions is the one dependency beyond the SAIF HTTP and service packages. It is carried into every consumer, but every consumer is a .NET 8 host that already references it, so it adds no version constraint in practice.

See Dependencies for the full dependency landscape including transitive and build-time references.

Bundled project references

Project reference	Metadata	Bundled into lib/<tfm>	Emitted as package dependency	Source
..\SAIF.Premium.Api.Contracts\SAIF.Premium.Api.Contracts.csproj	PrivateAssets="All"	Yes (.dll and .pdb)	No	src/SAIF.Premium.Api.Client/SAIF.Premium.Api.Client.csproj:19

PrivateAssets="All" keeps dotnet pack from emitting a dependency on SAIF.Premium.Api.Contracts, which no feed publishes, and the CopyProjectReferencesToPackage target copies its output into lib/net8.0 instead. Consumers therefore receive PremiumSummary, PremiumEstimate and the other contracts inside this package and cannot take a different version of them.

Build and release pipeline

Attribute	Value
Pipeline	pipelines/PremiumApi_Client.yml
Build variables	pipelines/build-vars.yml (AppType = CoreApi, AppName = PremiumApi, MajorVersion = 8)
Build number format	$(MajorVersion).$(Year:yyyy).$(Month)$(DayOfMonth).$(rev:r)
Shared template	/Projects/Framework/build-and-release-nuget.yml@templates
Template parameters	nugetTargetFolder = $(appName), nugetPackageSuffix = branchName
Project packed	Not determined from source

The shared template selects the project to pack; no template parameter names it. AppType is CoreApi because the repository's primary application is the Premium API, not because this package is an API client. nugetPackageSuffix: branchName means a branch build is packed as a pre-release with the branch name as its suffix, so consumers see one package version per branch build.
