Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
jf audit discovers .NET projects by parsing the solution file, but it only understands the classic .sln; with the new XML-based .slnx it finds no projects and silently scans nothing.

Describe the solution you'd like to see
Make jf audit parse .slnx the same as .sln — enumerate the referenced projects from its XML and build the dependency graph per project - treating both formats as equivalent inputs.

Describe alternatives you've considered
Keeping a parallel .sln, generating a temporary .sln in CI, or running jf audit per .csproj - all are workarounds that add maintenance/CI overhead and are easy to forget.

Research direction

Start at jf audit’s solution-discovery and parser entry point, then compare the existing .sln handling with the .slnx XML structure. Trace how referenced projects become the per-project dependency graph, and verify that jf audit discovers the same projects from both formats; the issue does not name specific files or tests.
