Features
ForgeGuard Core Class
Automatically discovers and executes guard tests defined across loaded assemblies.

Attribute-Driven Guard System

[GuardClass] to mark types containing guards

[Guard] for test-like methods. with an optional constructor overload to define severity. defaults to Catastrophic

[GuardSetup] / [GuardTeardown] for per-class setup and teardown

[GlobalSetup] / [GlobalTeardown] for once-per-run hooks

[Fatal] to mark guards that should abort the app on failure

Severity-Aware Execution
Guard methods can be tagged with severity levels to reflect the criticality of a failure.

ForgeGuard.RunGuards(Stream)
Execute all guard classes and emit structured diagnostic output to a stream.

Production-Safe Checks
Ideal for runtime verification of invariants, environment sanity, or post-start health validation.

ANSI Color Formatting
Toggle ForgeGuard.IncludeColorInMessageFormat for easy-to-read terminal output.





Added XML documentation to all methods (i think)
added a way to tag guard classes, and to only run guards tagged with a specified tag.
ForgeGuard now throws exceptions when no guards are found in the loaded assemblies, or when no guard with one of the specified tags was found
