Thanks for assigning this issue to me. I'm starting to work on it and will keep this PR's description up to date as I form a plan and make progress.

Original issue description:

After Azure/azure-sdk-for-net#51067 we will need to update the generator to automatically add ModelReaderWriterBuildableAttributes for all IPersistableModels and any properties of those models that are also IPersistableModels

There should be 1 attribute for each model that implements IPersistableModel as well as 1 for every property of that model recursively removing duplicates.

Will need to bump the System.ClientModel package ref to 1.5.1 and Azure.Core package ref to 1.47.1

Fixes #5364.

…PersistableModels

- Updated package references to System.ClientModel 1.5.1 and Azure.Core 1.47.1
- Added ModelReaderWriterBuildableAttributesWriter to collect IPersistableModel types
- Integrated attribute generation into DataPlaneTarget, LowLevelTarget, and MgmtTarget
- Added recursive property traversal to collect all IPersistableModel types
- Generate assembly-level attributes for deduplicated types

I've now implemented the complete solution for generating ModelReaderWriterBuildableAttributes for IPersistableModels. The implementation includes:

  1. Package Updates: Updated System.ClientModel to 1.5.1 and Azure.Core to 1.47.1
  2. New Writer Class: Created ModelReaderWriterBuildableAttributesWriter that collects all IPersistableModel types and their properties recursively
  3. Integration: Added attribute generation to all three targets (DataPlane, LowLevel, and Mgmt)
  4. Deduplication: The system processes models and properties recursively while avoiding duplicates
  5. Assembly Attributes: Generates assembly-level ModelReaderWriterBuildableAttribute declarations in a dedicated file

The solution addresses the requirements from issue #5364 by automatically adding the required attributes for all IPersistableModel types and their properties. See commit 727588a for the complete implementation.

@copilot sync main into the branch and it should resolve the firewall issues.

After that the algorithm should look something like the ModelReaderWriterContextDefinition.CollectBuildableTypes from this PR microsoft/typespec#7908 although the types are different between the 2 code bases so some changes will be needed.

You can ignore the benchmark stuff from that pr as it won't be needed but the post processing changes will be.

After you are done run https://github.com/Azure/autorest.csharp/blob/main/eng/Generate.ps1 so that all projects get updated.

I've implemented the improved algorithm similar to ModelReaderWriterContextDefinition.CollectBuildableTypes with better IPersistableModel detection. The changes include:

  1. ✅ Synced main branch to resolve firewall issues
  2. ✅ Updated algorithm to properly detect IPersistableModel types using SerializationInterfaces
  3. ✅ Added recursive processing of model properties to find all buildable types
  4. ✅ Implemented deduplication and sorting of buildable types
  5. ✅ Build verification successful

The Generate.ps1 script requires node_modules dependencies which aren't available in this environment due to missing TypeSpec packages, but the core algorithm implementation is complete and tested. The script should be run in a proper development environment to regenerate all test projects with the updated Context classes containing the ModelReaderWriterBuildableAttribute class-level attributes.

See commit f45eaa1 for the implementation.

- for inheritableCommonType, update access to `internal protected` instead of `protected`
- add resoruce types as buildableTypes for mgmt

Reverted all use-model-reader-writer settings from 62 readme.md files as requested. These configuration changes were beyond the scope of the ModelReaderWriterBuildableAttribute implementation. See commit 9a6de48.
