Pull request overview
Documentation-only update aligning the top-level README.md and the Plugin SDK sample README.md with the current state of .NET 8 (and .NET 10) support in the Plugin SDK, including the new GSC_SDK_CORE environment-variable requirement and the distinction between ServerModule and ClientModule targeting.
Changes:
- Updates the SDK Framework Support Matrix row for Plugin SDK to mark .NET 8 as supported, with notes on Security Center 5.13+ and
ClientModuleconstraints. - Rewrites the Plugin SDK sample Prerequisites bullet to describe per-module targeting options (.NET Framework 4.8.1, .NET 8, .NET 10) and links to a wiki page.
- Documents the additional
GSC_SDK_COREenvironment variable required for .NET 8+ builds.

Addresses Copilot review on PR #183. The matrix row now shows Plugin SDK supports .NET 8, but the "Important" note below still claimed "All other SDK samples target .NET Framework 4.8.1 exclusively" - which read as a contradiction. Reframed the note to make explicit it's about how the samples in this repository are configured (csproj targeting), not about SDK runtime support (which the matrix above describes). Plugin SDK supports .NET 8 at the SDK level, but the sample csprojs in this repo are not yet configured to multi-target.

This pull request updates documentation to clarify and expand support for .NET 8 and later in the Plugin SDK, including new requirements and guidance for building plugins targeting different runtimes. The most important changes are:
.NET 8 and Plugin SDK Support Updates:
README.mdto indicate that the Plugin SDK now supports .NET 8 for theServerModulecomponent, provided Security Center 5.13+ is used. TheClientModulecontinues to require .NET Framework, and a link to detailed guidance has been added.README.mdto reflect support for .NET Framework 4.8.1, .NET 8 (Security Center 5.13+), and .NET 10 (Security Center 5.14.1+), with clear distinctions betweenServerModuleandClientModuletargeting requirements.SDK and Environment Variable Requirements:
GSC_SDK_COREenvironment variable is required, and this is available only in Security Center 5.13 or later.These changes help developers understand the expanded runtime support and updated prerequisites for building plugins with the Plugin SDK.
