feat: Load assets during ControlSystem initialization for enhanced resource management

- Introduced `FakeCrestronEnvironment` and `FakeEthernetHelper` for testing purposes.
- Implemented `InMemoryCrestronDataStore` to facilitate unit tests for data storage.
- Created `DebugServiceTests` to validate the behavior of debug-related services.
- Added project files for unit tests targeting .NET 9.0 with necessary dependencies.
- Developed production adapters (`CrestronConsoleAdapter`, `CrestronDataStoreAdapter`, `CrestronEnvironmentAdapter`, `CrestronEthernetAdapter`) to interface with the Crestron SDK.
- Updated `Debug` class to utilize injected service abstractions instead of direct SDK calls.
- Enhanced `ControlSystem` initialization to register service adapters before usage.

+# How to Add Documentation to Essentials
+
+This guide explains how to add new documentation articles to the Essentials docFx site.
+
+## Overview
+
+The Essentials documentation uses [docFx](https://dotnet.github.io/docfx/) to generate a static documentation website. Documentation files are organized in a hierarchical structure with a table of contents (TOC) file that defines the site navigation. Documentation should be organized and written to fit into the [Diátaxis](https://diataxis.fr/start-here/) conceptual framework.
+
+## Documentation Structure
+
+Documentation files are located in `/docs/docs/` and organized into the following subdirectories:
+
+- **how-to/** - Step-by-step guides and tutorials
+- **usage/** - Usage documentation for SIMPL bridging, standalone use, and hardware integration
+- **technical-docs/** - Technical documentation including architecture, plugins, and API references
+- **images/** - Image assets used in documentation
+
+## Adding a New Document
+
+### Step 1: Create Your Markdown File
+
+1. Determine which category your document belongs to (how-to, usage, or technical-docs)
+2. Create a new `.md` file in the appropriate subdirectory
+3. Use a descriptive filename with hyphens (e.g., `my-new-feature.md`)
+
+**Example:**
+```bash
+# For a how-to guide
+touch /docs/docs/how-to/configure-audio-settings.md
+
+# For usage documentation
+touch /docs/docs/usage/video-switcher-control.md
+
+# For technical documentation
+touch /docs/docs/technical-docs/custom-device-plugin.md
+```
+
+### Step 2: Write Your Content
+
+Start your markdown file with a level 1 heading (`#`) that serves as the page title:
+
+```markdown
+# Your Document Title
+
+Brief introduction to the topic.
+
+## Section Heading
+
+Content goes here...
+
+### Subsection
+
+More detailed content...
+```
+
+**Markdown Features:**
+- Use standard markdown syntax
+- Include code blocks with language specifiers (```csharp, ```json, etc.)
+- Add images: `![Alt text](../images/your-image.png)`
+- Link to other docs: `[Link text](../usage/related-doc.md)`
+
+### Step 3: Add to Table of Contents
+
+Edit `/docs/docs/toc.yml` to add your new document to the navigation:
+
+```yaml
+- name: How-to's
+  items:
+    - href: how-to/how-to-add-docs.md
+    - href: how-to/your-new-doc.md  # Add your document here
+```
+
+**TOC Structure:**
+- `name:` - Display name in the navigation menu
+- `href:` - Relative path to the markdown file
+- `items:` - Nested items for hierarchical navigation
+
+**Example with nested items:**
+```yaml
+- name: Usage
+  items:
+  - name: SIMPL Bridging
+    href: usage/SIMPL-Bridging-Updated.md
+    items:
+    - name: Your Sub-Topic
+      href: usage/your-sub-topic.md
+```
+
+### Step 4: Test Locally
+
+Build and preview the docFx site locally to verify your changes:
+
+```bash
+# Navigate to the docs directory
+cd docs
+
+# Build the documentation
+docfx build
+
+# Serve the site locally
+docfx serve _site
+```
+
+Then open your browser to `http://localhost:8080` to view the site.
+
+## Best Practices
+
+### File Naming
+- Use lowercase with hyphens: `my-document-name.md`
+- Be descriptive but concise
+- Avoid special characters
+
+### Content Guidelines
+- Start with a clear introduction
+- Use hierarchical headings (H1 → H2 → H3)
+- Include code examples where appropriate
+- Add images to illustrate complex concepts
+- Link to related documentation
+
+### TOC Organization
+- Group related documents under the same parent
+- Order items logically (basic → advanced)
+- Keep the TOC hierarchy shallow (2-3 levels max)
+- Use clear, descriptive names for navigation items
+
+## Common Issues
+
+### Document Not Appearing
+- Verify the file path in `toc.yml` is correct and uses forward slashes
+- Ensure the markdown file exists in the specified location
+- Check for YAML syntax errors in `toc.yml`
+
+### Images Not Loading
+- Verify image path is relative to the markdown file location
+- Use `../images/` for files in the images directory
+- Ensure image files are committed to the repository
+
+### Broken Links
+- Use relative paths for internal links
+- Test all links after building the site
+- Use `.md` extension when linking to other documentation files
+

 A Device doesn't always represent a physical piece of hardware, but rather a logical construct that "does something" and is used by one or more other devices in the running program.  For example, we create a room device, and its corresponding Fusion device, and that room has a Cisco codec device, with an attached SSh client device. All of these lie in a flat collection in the `DeviceManager`.
 
-> The `DeviceManager` is nothing more than a modified collection of things, and technically those things don't have to be Devices, but must at least implement the `IKeyed` (`PepperDash.Core.IKeyed`) interface (simply so items can be looked up by their key.) Items in the `DeviceManager` that are Devices are run through additional steps of [activation](~/docs/Arch-activate.md#2-pre-activation) at startup.

 In this flat design, we spin up devices, and then introduce them to their "coworkers and bosses" - the other devices and logical units that they will interact with - and get them all operating together to form a running unit. For example: A room configuration will contain a "VideoCodecKey" property and a "DefaultDisplayKey" property. The `DeviceManager` provides the room with the codec or displays having the appropriate keys. What the room does with those is dependent on its coding.

 Note: It is best-practice in Essentials to not write arbitrarily-timed startup sequences to ensure that a "system" or room is functional. Rather, we encourage the developer to use various properties and conditions on devices to aggregate together "room is ready" statuses that can trigger further action.

 In any real-world system, devices and business logic need to talk to each other, otherwise, what's the point of all this coding? When creating your classes and configuration, it is best practice to _try_ not to "plug" one device into another during construction or activation. For example your touchpanel controller class has a `Display1` property that holds the display-1 object. Rather, it may be better to refer to the device as it is stored in the `DeviceManager` when it's needed using the static `DeviceManager.GetDeviceForKey(key)` method to get a reference to the device, which can be cast using various interfaces/class types, and then interacted with.  This prevents objects from being referenced in places where the developer may later forget to dereference them, causing memory leak.  This will become more important as Essentials becomes more able to be reconfigured at runtime.
 
-As an example, [connection-based routing](~/docs/Connection-based-routing.md#essentials-connection-based-routing) uses these methods.

It would be beneficial to review the wiki entry on the [Feedback Class](~/docs/technical-docs/Feedback-Classes.md) for this.
 
 5. When building plugins, we highly recommend reusing JoinMaps, as this will make code more easily interchangeable. For example; if you were to build a display plugin, we'd recommend you use/extend the existing `DisplayControllerJoinMap`. This way, you can swap plugins without needing any change on the SIMPL Windows side. This is extremely powerful when maintaining SIMPL Windows code bases for large deployments that may utilize differing equipment per room. If you can build a SIMPL Windows program that interacts with established join maps, you can swap out the device via config without any change needed to SIMPL Windows.
