The source-generation article still demonstrated
JsonSerializerOptionsandJsonSerializerContextoverloads as primary usage, which can produce trimming warnings and misleading Native AOT guidance. This update shifts examples and guidance toJsonTypeInfo<T>-first usage and documents the options-based workaround pattern when options flow is required.Default guidance now centers on
JsonTypeInfo<T>JsonTypeInfo<T>first, then callJsonSerializertype-info overloads.Removed obsolete/non-preferred overload examples from snippets
BothModesNoOptions.cs: removedSerializeWithContext/DeserializeWithContextand direct options-overload samples.SerializeWithTypeInfoFromOptions/DeserializeWithTypeInfoFromOptionssnippets usingoptions.GetTypeInfo(...).SerializeOnlyWithOptions.cs: removed context-overload sample block.RoundtripEnumSourceGeneration.cs: replaced options-overload enum serialization calls with generatedJsonTypeInfo<T>calls.Added Native AOT footnote for options-overload behavior
