property-patterns

MSBuild property definition patterns: conditional defaults, composition/concatenation, path normalization, trailing-slash handling, TFM detection helpers, and evaluation order. USE FOR: diagnosing and fixing property definition issues and shared-property anti-patterns in .props/.csproj; DefineConstants or NoWarn overwritten instead of appended; unconditional assignments that block project-level overrides; unquoted conditions that fail on empty properties; hardcoded paths that break cross-platform builds; setting overridable defaults; property evaluation order and last-write-wins semantics. DO NOT USE FOR: props vs targets placement (use directory-build-organization), item operations (use item-management), target structure (use target-authoring), general anti-patterns (use msbuild-antipatterns), non-MSBuild build systems.
