Fix CI versioning issue and prepare for publication

🔧 Fixed GitHub Actions workflow:
- Added git fetch --tags to ensure tags are available for versioning
- Fixed bash script syntax errors in version determination
- Added version validation step with clear error messages
- Improved error handling and debugging output
- Cleaned up YAML formatting issues

✅ CI workflow now properly:
- Determines version from git tags or generates development versions
- Validates PackageVersion is set before dotnet pack
- Provides clear debugging info if version determination fails
- Ready for automated NuGet publication when NUGET_API_KEY is configured

📦 Package ready for publication:
- All validation checks passing
- Comprehensive testing completed
- Documentation updated
- CI pipeline fixed and validated
