Description

With core 3 landing soon we're going to be a place to possibly start using System.Text.Json instead of Newtonsoft.Json.

Thoughts? Our serialization needs are pretty naive, so this should be a simple drop in replacement.

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are identified. Start by locating the Newtonsoft.Json dependency and all serialization call sites, then determine whether the project's protocol payloads are supported by System.Text.Json. Done means the dependency is removed, serialization behavior remains compatible, and the project's existing verification passes.
