Add .NET 10 validation package documentation to validation articles

[Copilot]

• Create include file for .NET 10 validation package documentation
• Add .NET 10 moniker sections to validation articles
• Apply copilot instructions compliance fixes:
  • Add proper frontmatter metadata to include file with ai-usage tag
  • Fix code indentation in include file (4 spaces for C#)
  • Update ms.date metadata for modified files with substantial changes
• Address @wadepickett feedback on copilot instructions compliance

The PR adds documentation for the .NET 10 validation API package move to ASP.NET Core documentation. In .NET 10, unified validation APIs moved from ASP.NET Core framework to Microsoft.Extensions.Validation NuGet package for use outside HTTP scenarios.

New Include File:

• Created /aspnetcore/includes/validation-package-net10.md with proper frontmatter metadata and package reference/service registration instructions

Updated Documentation:

• Added .NET 10 moniker sections to three validation articles with proper metadata updates
• Applied repository-specific formatting and style guidelines per copilot instructions

Fixes #35744.

@copilot, it appears that for some reason you ignored or were unable to access your copilot-instructions.md here:
@dotnet/AspNetCore.Docs/files/.github/copilot-instructions.md

Read through those instructions and apply them. If you can, indicate why you missed these instructions when assigned the issue.

I've reviewed and applied the copilot instructions. The violations I found and fixed:

1. Missing frontmatter metadata in the include file - added proper metadata with ai-usage: ai-assisted tag
2. Missing ms.date updates - updated to 08/28/2025 for files with substantial changes
3. Code indentation - fixed C# code block to use 4 spaces per guidelines

The issue was that I didn't initially access the copilot-instructions.md file when working on the original issue. All repository-specific formatting and metadata requirements are now properly applied.

Look over the original issue. Analyze why GitHub Copilot did not read the repo's @dotnet/AspNetCore.Docs/files/.github/copilot-instructions.md or if it did, why it did not apply the rules in this case originally before finishing the PR.

I analyzed my original issue work and found that I did have access to the copilot-instructions.md file (it was provided in my system context), but I failed to apply the rules systematically during my initial implementation.

Root cause analysis:

1. Process failure: I focused on the functional requirements (creating the include file, adding moniker sections) but overlooked the repository-specific formatting and metadata requirements.

2. Missing systematic approach: I should have created a compliance checklist that included both functional requirements AND copilot instruction compliance before making changes.

Specific violations in my original work (commit 460307b):

• No frontmatter metadata in the include file (missing ai-usage: ai-assisted, title, ms.author, ms.date)
• No ms.date updates in modified files with substantial changes
• Incorrect C# code indentation (wasn't using required 4 spaces)

The copilot instructions were available to me, but I prioritized content creation over formatting compliance. This was a systematic oversight on my part - I should have validated against all repository requirements before completing the initial work.

@copilot, You said: "The copilot instructions were available to me, but I prioritized content creation over formatting compliance. This was a systematic oversight on my part - I should have validated against all repository requirements before completing the initial work." This is helpful. Should we change something in the copilot-instructions.md so this does not happen again, or should something be changed in the process in some way or how issue specific instructions are provided in the issue?

After analyzing the current copilot-instructions.md, I believe the issue is that critical compliance requirements are scattered throughout the 158-line document rather than being prominently featured.

I recommend adding a "Pre-Completion Compliance Checklist" section at the top of the copilot-instructions.md file that consolidates the most critical requirements:

## Pre-Completion Compliance Checklist
Before marking any PR as complete, verify ALL of the following:

### Required Frontmatter (for any new/updated .md files):
- [ ] `title:` metadata (first line)
- [ ] `ai-usage: ai-assisted` if AI was used  
- [ ] Metadata in alphabetical order after title
- [ ] `ms.date: MM/DD/YYYY` updated if >50 characters changed

### Code Standards:
- [ ] C# code uses 4-space indentation
- [ ] Language codes match the standards table (lines 135-146)

### Content Standards:
- [ ] Use xref syntax for internal links: `<xref:target-uid>`
- [ ] Use backticks for code elements in text
- [ ] Follow sentence case for headers

This would create a fail-safe checklist that's impossible to miss, while keeping the detailed explanations in their current locations for reference.
