proposal: Publish the RPC client package and align versions with Neovim #36

Description

@alsi-lawr

Publish the RPC client package as the primary NuGet package, rather than publishing the remote-plugin host package.

Motivation

The RPC client is the reusable library surface consumers need for communicating with Neovim. The remote-plugin host is legacy-adjacent and has a separate removal/simplification path in #26. Publishing should focus on the RPC client package and align package versions with the Neovim API version represented by the generated client.

Scope

  • Publish the RPC client package as the main NuGet artifact.
  • Stop treating the remote-plugin host as the primary published package.
  • Align package versions with the Neovim API version used to generate the client.
  • Use stable Neovim versions for stable package versions, for example 0.12.x.
  • Use nightly/pre-release package versions for generated nightly clients, for example 0.13.x-pre<build>.
  • Investigate CI automation for regenerating and publishing nightly client packages from Neovim nightly metadata.
  • Document the versioning and publishing policy.

Acceptance criteria

  • The RPC client is the primary package published to NuGet.
  • Package versions correspond to the Neovim API version represented by the generated client.
  • Nightly client versioning supports pre-release packages such as 0.13.x-pre<build>.
  • CI feasibility for automatic nightly regeneration and publishing is documented or implemented.
  • The publish workflow and release docs reflect the package/versioning policy.
