timeprovider

Guidance for TimeProvider abstraction for testable time-dependent code. USE FOR: making time-dependent code testable, replacing DateTime.UtcNow and DateTimeOffset.UtcNow with injectable abstractions, controlling time in unit tests with FakeTimeProvider, testing expiration logic, scheduling, token lifetimes, and time-based business rules. DO NOT USE FOR: high-precision timing or benchmarking (use Stopwatch), NTP synchronization, or scenarios running on .NET versions prior to .NET 8.
