MAUI Base Template (ConnectSoft.MauiBaseTemplate)

Mobile kernel (Layer-analog for MAUI): a standalone solution template for .NET MAUI apps. It does not embed ConnectSoft.BaseTemplate; that repo remains the ASP.NET microservice kernel. Use this template when you need a ConnectSoft-standard MAUI layout that pairs with backend services generated from other Factory templates.
