Requires [Argon2.Bindings 1.20.0](https://github.com/modernuo/Argon2.Bindings/pull/14), now published.
## What
- Consume `Argon2.Bindings` 1.20.0, which resolves the Argon2 type from the stored PHC string rather than from the verifier's own configuration.
- Default to **Argon2id, m=16384, t=1, p=1** — 8.51 ms against the old Argon2i 8 MiB t=3 at 10.11 ms. Cheaper *and* stronger.
- Rehash on a successful login whenever the stored parameters are stale, not only when the algorithm changes.
- Fix `SetPassword`, which derived the password phrase from the outgoing algorithm while storing it under the incoming one.
## Why
**Verification was gated by the verifier's configured type.** `Verify` passed the instance's own `ArgonType` to native `argon2_verify`, whose `decode_string` rejects a disagreeing `$argon2i$`/`$argon2id$` prefix and returns `DECODING_FAIL` — folded into `false`, the same answer as a wrong password. Switching the default type would have locked out every existing account, and `VerifyAndUpdate` could not have migrated them either: it delegates to the same type-fixed `Verify` and never compared `ArgonType`. Fixed upstream in 1.20.0. The pinned legacy-`$argon2i$` test here fails on 1.19.0 for exactly that reason, which is what makes the package bump load-bearing rather than incidental.
**Changing the defaults would otherwise have reached nobody.** Argon2's PHC string embeds `m`, `t` and `p`, so verification uses the parameters stored with each account, not the configured ones — and verification is the hot path. `CheckPassword` only rehashed when the *algorithm* changed, never when its cost parameters did, so on an established shard the new defaults would have applied to new accounts only. `IPasswordProtection.NeedsRehash` closes that: it defaults to `false`, so PBKDF2 and the `HashAlgorithm` protections are untouched — only Argon2 carries its cost inside the stored value.
**`SetPassword` picked the phrase rule from the wrong algorithm.** SHA1 and SHA2 salt the phrase with the username; Argon2 and PBKDF2 do not. It chose the rule from the *outgoing* algorithm while storing under the *incoming* one, so any algorithm change wrote a credential its own next verify could not reproduce. It now assigns `PasswordAlgorithm` first and derives the phrase from that. Note this ordering is load-bearing and invisible — `UpgradingAlgorithm_DoesNotLockTheAccountOut` is what pins it.
## Cost
Verification is re-derivation, so these are login numbers. A full login calls `CheckPassword` twice — `AccountLogin` (0x80) then `GameLogin` (0x91): **~20 ms before, ~17 ms after**, plus a one-time ~8.5 ms rehash on each account's migrating login.
That cost is still paid on the game loop. Moving hashing off-loop is deliberately **not** in this PR — it needs a pending-auth state in the login handlers, bounding of in-flight hashes, and login rate limiting.

### Summary
- Adds an application project
- Consolidates process restarts to use `Core.Kill(true)`
- Removes some old messaging, for example processor optimization
- Fixes missing build cleanup
* Fixes an issue with moving directories across volumes
* Removes usages of WebClient
* Removes usages of Cryptographic Providers
Note: Even though .NET 6 introduces Xoshiro RNG, there is no way to control the seed. I'll do some reconciliation of Xoshiro so it functions closer to the built in one. For the most part, it has parity though.
Benchmarks show there is nothing odd about the implementations, they are within 1ns of each other.
- [X] Removes some string allocations (e.g. split)
- [X] Optimizes some collections
- [X] Converts insensitive to extension methods of built-ins.
- [X] Adds ordinal (case sensitive) string helpers
- [X] Fixes conditionals for in-game commands so they use Ordinal comparisons.
- [X] Replaces ToLower.Contains with InsensitiveContains
- [X] Adds ValueStringBuilder
- [X] Implements ValueStringBuilder in a few places where it makes sense
- [X] Removes the redundant Wrap function and replaces it with an optimized version
- [X] Fixes list conversions in Utility
