Slice with lambda: add C# exercise projects and export

- Add SliceWithLambda.slnx + csproj scaffolding for ideas/slice-with-lambda/
  exercise/csharp (examples project + xUnit solution/test project)
- Add exercises/slice-with-lambda (C# version of the prefactored-longrange
  exercise with Buyers and SliceWithLambda projects)
- Add export/slice-with-lambda (nested git repo with exercise export)
- Ignore bin/ and obj/ build output at repo root

+# Slice with Lambda — C# exercises
+
+Exercises for the **Slice with Lambda** learning hour (C# variant).
+
+- Condensed mechanics: <https://www.sammancoaching.org/refactorings/slice.html>
+  (where that page says mock, we use a lambda instead).
+- Full Java walkthrough: `../../ideas/slice-with-lambda/storyboard/storyboard.md`.
+
+Open `SliceWithLambda.sln` in Rider (or run `dotnet test` — see below).
+Requires the .NET 10 SDK (pinned by `global.json`).
+
+## What's in the box
+
+| folder | what | start state |
+|---|---|---|
+| `src/SliceWithLambda/` | three demo examples (pristine) | the refactoring **not** done yet |
+| `src/Buyers/` | the pair exercise (pristine) | one loop, one lambda-able expression |
+| `solution/` | reference end states (facilitator + fast pairs) | mechanics done, tests stub through the seam |
+| `tests/` | test projects | see the red/green table |
+
+## The three demo examples (`src/SliceWithLambda/`)
+
+| file | guard (client state) | unwanted dependency | lambda | tail |
+|---|---|---|---|---|
+| `MetaphorFree.cs` | `if (a < 0) return 0;` | `_someDependency.mightThrowWhenPreconditionNotSatisfied(a)` | `Func<int, int> readB = a => ...` | `int c = a + b; return c * 2;` |
+| `WeatherStation.cs` | `if (_wateredToday)` | `_lightSensor.Read()` (byte) | `Func<byte> readLight = () => ...` | sunny -> `WateringDuration.Medium`, shady -> `Short` (reading > 128 => `SunExposure.Sunny`) |
+| `IceCreamShop.cs` | `if (_thawedToday)` | `_thermometer.Read()` (byte) | `Func<byte> readTemperature = () => ...` | warm -> `ThawAmount.Medium`, cold -> `Low` (temperature > 25 => `Warmth.Warm`) |
+
+In all three, the guard reads client state (a parameter or a flag the client
+owns), so it stays in the extracted method. Only the dependency call moves
+into the lambda.
+
+`MetaphorFree.cs` is the smallest possible shape: no loop, one dependency
+call, a tail of one arithmetic step. It carries the capture-to-parameter
+lesson: the lambda takes `a` as its parameter because a lambda moved up into
+the function head cannot capture method parameters. `WeatherStation.cs` and
+`IceCreamShop.cs` are same-shape domain repetitions, so participants can
+practice extracting the lambda twice — the C# delegate syntax (`Func<byte>`)
+is worth the repetition.
+
+## The pair exercise (`src/Buyers/`)
+
+`Buyers.ShoppingListTotal(buyerName)` computes a buyer's shopping-list
+total: one loop, and exactly **one** lambda-able expression —
+`priceList.PriceFor(flavour)`. `PriceList` adds random surge pricing, so the
+test in `tests/BuyersTests/` is red or flaky by design: it stands for the
+external pricing service.
+
+Do the mechanics on the whole method:
+
+1. Extract the dependency-using code into a lambda and slide it to the top
+   (`Func<IceCream, int> priceFor = flavour => priceList.PriceFor(flavour);`
+   — the invocation in the loop stays put).
+2. Extract the loop into a method taking the lambda as a parameter.
+3. Keep a no-arg overload for callers (pass the method group
+   `priceList.PriceFor` as the "real" pricing function) and make the test
+   pass with a pure lambda (`_ => 2`): 2 flavours x 2 scoops x 2 = 8.
+
+Reference end state: `solution/Buyers/` (green test in
+`tests/BuyersSolutionTests/`).
+
+## Tests: red/green map
+
+| test project | against | expected at start | after the refactoring |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| `tests/BuyersTests/` | `src/Buyers/` | red or **flaky** (surge pricing) — that is the point | green once you stub with a pure lambda |
+| `tests/BuyersSolutionTests/` | `solution/Buyers/` | green | — |
+| `tests/SliceWithLambdaTests/` | `solution/SliceWithLambda/` | green | — (the demo end states, with pure-lambda stubs, incl. a throwing stub) |
+
+## Run
+
+```sh
+dotnet test                                    # everything
+dotnet test tests/BuyersTests                  # the pair exercise only
+```
+
+## Next move (debrief)
+
+Add `DiscountFor(IceCream)` to `PriceList` and feel why one lambda is no
+longer enough — extract a role interface (`IPricing`) instead of two lambdas.
