 ### Changed
 
 - **Per-schema incremental invalidation for XML AdditionalFiles (#170)**: `SBESourceGenerator` no longer `.Collect()`s the entire schema set before generation. Each schema now flows through its own `RegisterSourceOutput` path, so editing one XML file only re-runs the generators for that schema. Runtime helpers (`SpanReader` / `SpanWriter`) are emitted in a separate namespace-deduplicated step to preserve shared helper generation without reintroducing whole-project schema invalidation.
