Description
### Is there an existing issue for this?
- [x] I have searched the existing issues
### Describe the bug
When applying the `[ValidatableType]` attribute to a class located in a different assembly than the one invoking `builder.Services.AddValidation()`, the validation metadata for that class is not generated into the `GeneratedValidatableInfoResolver`.
### Expected Behavior
All types annotated with `[ValidatableType]`, regardless of the assembly they reside in, should be included in the generated `GeneratedValidatableInfoResolver`.
### Steps To Reproduce
1. Create a class in Assembly A and annotate it with `[ValidatableType]`.
2. In Assembly B, call `builder.Services.AddValidation()`.
3. Observe that the class from Assembly A is not included in the generated resolver.
### Exceptions (if any)
_No response_
### .NET Version
10.0.100-rc.1.25451.107
### Anything else?
### Proposed Solutions
**Primary Solution:**
Enhance the source generator to scan all referenced assemblies for [ValidatableType] attributes and include them in the generated GeneratedValidatableInfoResolver.
**Alternative Solution:**
Generate a separate ValidatableInfoResolver per assembly. These resolvers could then be manually registered with ValidationOptions to compose a complete validation metadata set.
