This PR refactors how we obtain the executing assembly's file location by replacing reflection-based GetExecutingAssembly() calls with a direct typeof(Program).Assembly reference. This change improves type safety, clarity, and reduces potential runtime ambiguities. - Consider using `typeof(T).Assembly` to get currently executing assembly: The original code used System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().Location to locate the assembly at runtime, which relies on reflection and may not clearly indicate which assembly is in use, especially in multi-assembly scenarios. The updated code replaces this with typeof(Program).Assembly.Location, providing an explicit, compile-time validated reference that is easier to understand and maintain. > This Autofix was generated by AI. Please review the change before merging.

This PR removes redundant type declarations in object instantiation by leveraging C# 9's target-typed new expressions to enhance code readability and reduce verbosity. - Type can be dropped from the declaration's RHS when explicitly mentioned in the LHS: The original code declared a FileInfo instance with an explicit type on both sides of the assignment, leading to repetition. We refactored the instantiation to use the target-typed new (i.e., ‘new(...)’), removing the duplicated type information and adhering to modern C# conventions, which streamlines the code. > This Autofix was generated by AI.
