Application-owned Durable worker starter
The Durable worker quickstart introduces the ForgeTrust.AppSurface.Durable.Templates package and appsurface-durable-worker template for hosts that activate Work through an authenticated ASP.NET Core route. It generates a typed Work definition, passive PostgreSQL composition, distinct health endpoints, telemetry and standalone tests. The disposable first-Work proof exercises authorization, terminal completion, readiness and exported activity against restricted PostgreSQL roles using the canonical packaged role recipe.
The template uses the existing coordinated package publication path, with exact archive/feed installation, generated-content validation, ordinary startup on three native OS runners and separate five-sample timing evidence required before publication. Those candidate checks do not certify a downstream deployment. Generated code belongs to the application; subsequent template installation affects future projects. The initial shape guide explains compatibility and manual updates.
