Subject: [PATCH] Adopt .tool-versions and standardise scripts for dot-net-core

No toolchain was pinned, script/setup used brew, which does not work on
linux-arm64 CI, and script/test lacked set -euo pipefail.

Pins dotnet 10 in .tool-versions and rewrites script/setup to check PATH.
script/test and script/start follow the shared template and take a --watch
flag, which runs dotnet watch test. Updates the README.

 # .NET Core
 
-Pairing test skeleton using .NET core and `nunit` for testing.
+Skeleton project for .NET Core (C#).
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+The toolchain this project needs is declared in [`.tool-versions`](./.tool-versions):
+
+```
+dotnet 10
+```
+
+Install those however you prefer, as long as they end up on your `PATH`. The quickest route is
+[mise](https://mise.jdx.dev/), which reads the file for you:
+
+```sh
+mise install
+```
 
 ## Usage
-- `./script/setup` to install dependencies (uses [homebrew](https://brew.sh/))
-- `./script/test` to run the tests
-- `./script/start` to run the code
+- `./script/setup` to restore dependencies
+- `./script/test` to run the tests, or `./script/test --watch` to re-run them on every change
+- `./script/start` to run the app
 
 ## Structure
 - Code located in [`PairingTest.cs`](./Code/PairingTest.cs)
 - Tests located in [`Tests.cs`](./Test/Tests.cs)
 
-However, you're free to organise your code as you like.
