TypeLoader<T>andExtensionInstantiatorexisted independently with no unified entry point that tied assembly scanning, DI-aware instantiation, and service-container registration together. This addsExtensionLoader<TExtension>to close that gap.New types
IExtensionLoader<TExtension>— interface exposingLoadFromAssembly,LoadFromAssemblies,CreateInstance(Guid),CreateAllInstances(), andRegisterExtensions(IServiceCollection, ServiceLifetime)ExtensionLoader<TExtension>— concrete implementation; wrapsTypeLoader<TExtension>for discovery andActivatorUtilities.CreateInstanceso extension constructors receive registered services automaticallyDI registration
Added
AddExtensionLoader<TExtension>()toServiceCollectionExtensions, registered as singleton:RegisterExtensionsregisters each discovered type under both its concrete type andTExtension, enablingIEnumerable<TExtension>resolution from the container.Tests
Added 8 tests to
ExtensionLoadingIntegrationTestscovering: constructor null-guard, empty state,CreateInstancewith unknown GUID,CreateAllInstanceswith no types,RegisterExtensionsnull-guard and no-op paths, singleton lifetime viaAddExtensionLoader, and interface implementation verification.Original prompt
