.NET Test Platform Requires --project <PROJECT_PATH> / --solution <SOLUTION_PATH to be specified

cake/src/Cake.Common/Tools/DotNet/Test/DotNetTestSettings.cs

Line 14 in af6ab79

public class DotNetTestSettings : DotNetSettings

Options:
  --project <PROJECT_PATH>                        Defines the path of the project file to run (folder name or full path). If not specified, it defaults to the current directory.
  --solution <SOLUTION_PATH>                      Defines the path of the solution file to run. If not specified, it defaults to the current directory.

Probably something like

public enum DotNetTestPathType
{
    None,  // default
    Auto,
    Project,
    Solution
}

that on .NET 10 or greater prefixes --project or --solution based on DotNetTestPathType
