Subject: [PATCH 2/6] Enable forward compatibility for binary log replay with
version warning
- Set AllowForwardCompatibility = true when creating BinaryLogReplayEventSource
- Made BinaryLogger.FileFormatVersion public to allow version comparison
- Added warning message when log file version is newer than supported version
- Only fail when minimum reader version is too high (not just newer format)

Subject: [PATCH 3/6] Add RecoverableReadError subscription for forward
compatibility
- Subscribe to RecoverableReadError event to satisfy forward compatibility requirements
- Output recoverable read errors as warnings to the console
- Tested: binlog replay now works correctly with current version binlogs

Subject: [PATCH 5/6] Fix Replay method to use AllowForwardCompatibility
setting
- Modified Replay(string, CancellationToken) to properly pass forward compatibility flag
- Fixed warning message formatting to not depend on missing resource
- Tested: v26 binlog with min reader 18 shows warning and continues
- Tested: v26 binlog with min reader 26 correctly fails
- Tested: v25 binlog works without warnings

Subject: [PATCH 6/6] Fix binlog replay to use BinaryReader overload in XMake
- Changed XMake to manually open BinaryReader and use the overload that respects AllowForwardCompatibility
- Reverted changes to BinaryLogReplayEventSource.Replay(string, CancellationToken) to avoid test regressions
- Verified: v26 with min 18 shows warning and continues
- Verified: v26 with min 26 shows error and fails
- Note: Pre-existing test failures in BinaryLogger_Tests are not related to these changes
