SoDataBase.BusinessLogic.dll — which is shipped inside the SuperOffice.NetServer.Core NuGet package — hard-references SuperOffice.ServiceCopilot.Client, Version=1.4.0.0 (package version 1.4.163, pinned in Directory.Packages.props, referenced from Server/Source/SoDataBase.BusinessLogic/SoDataBase.BusinessLogic.csproj).

However, SuperOffice.ServiceCopilot.Client is:

• not declared as a dependency of the SuperOffice.NetServer.Core package,
• not bundled as a DLL inside the package's lib/netstandard2.0/ folder, and
• not available on any public NuGet feed.

As a result, any consumer that builds a local/console NetServer app from the NuGet packages (rather than copying a full onsite/config installation) gets a FileNotFoundException the moment NetServer scans SoDataBase.BusinessLogic during authentication. Because the assembly scan aborts, the actual failure is masked behind a generic SoSessionException: "Authentication failed!" (and can also surface as the misleading "Missing dialect for database Major: 'MSSQL', Minor: '15'", since the dialect/plugin factories that live in SoDataBase.BusinessLogic never get registered).

The same gap applies transitively: Microsoft.Kiota.Abstractions (a dependency of ServiceCopilot.Client) is also not pulled in, so consumers have to discover and add it manually too.

Repro steps

1. Create a new .NET Framework 4.8 console app.
2. Add the SuperOffice.NetServer.Core (11.13.1541) and SuperOffice.ContinuousDatabase (11.13.1541) NuGet packages.
3. Wire up a minimal local host:
   csharp

   services.AddNetServerCoreForAsyncLocalProcess(config);
   services.AddSoDatabase(config);
   var provider = services.BuildServiceProvider();
   provider.RegisterWithNetServer();
   SoSession.Authenticate("**", "****");
   

4. Run.

Expected result

The NuGet package set contains (or declares as dependencies) everything SoDataBase.BusinessLogic needs at runtime, so a local NetServer host authenticates without manually hunting for DLLs.

Actual result

SoSession.Authenticate throws SoSessionException: "Authentication failed!". The underlying cause (visible by calling Assembly.Load("SoDataBase.BusinessLogic").GetTypes() and inspecting ReflectionTypeLoadException.LoaderExceptions) is:

System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Could not load file or assembly
'SuperOffice.ServiceCopilot.Client, Version=1.4.0.0, Culture=neutral,
PublicKeyToken=bdda2d694ae22a86' or one of its dependencies.
Calling assembly: SoDataBase.BusinessLogic, Version=11.13.0.0, ...

There is no NuGet feed from which the consumer can obtain SuperOffice.ServiceCopilot.Client.

System info

• Package: SuperOffice.NetServer.Core 11.13.1541 (+ SuperOffice.ContinuousDatabase 11.13.1541)
• Bundled assembly: SoDataBase.BusinessLogic.dll 11.13.0.0
• Missing assembly: SuperOffice.ServiceCopilot.Client 1.4.0.0 (pkg 1.4.163), PublicKeyToken bdda2d694ae22a86
• Also missing transitively: Microsoft.Kiota.Abstractions
• Target framework: net48 (also affects any non-web NuGet-based host)

Impact

Blocks all partners/customers building local/console NetServer integrations from the published NuGet packages (a documented, supported scenario). Current workaround is fragile: copy SuperOffice.ServiceCopilot.Client.dll (and any further missing first-party DLLs) from an existing config/onsite installation — not from the web bin folder, which drags in web-only plugins (e.g. RequestIdentitySupplier) and produces a different "Unable to resolve service for type 'SuperOffice.Web.ISoHttpContextAccessor'" failure.
