Introduce a new authentication mechanism using JWT tokens stored in cookies, with a custom CookieAuthHandler for API request authentication. Add AuthServiceSettings for configuration and UserHeaderHandler to propagate user context in outgoing HTTP requests. Update service registrations and configuration files to support the new authentication flow. Refactor CurrentUserService for simplicity. This enables stateless, cookie-based authentication and consistent user context across API calls.
Set up multi-project solution with DbFirst API, Application, Domain, and Infrastructure layers. Implemented database-first EF Core for the Catalog entity, including domain, DTOs, repository, service, and controller. Configured AutoMapper, DI, Swagger, and project settings. Added .gitattributes and initial configuration files.
