Nx 23: 4x Faster Nx Agents, Agentic Nx Migrate, improved targetDefaults, .Net GA

Nx 23 introduces significant enhancements, including smarter migrations, improved performance, and expanded features for developers working with monorepos. The update boasts Nx Agents that are four times faster and 30% cheaper than GitHub Actions, a streamlined Nx core with a reduced memory footprint, and an OS-level sandboxing mechanism to ensure cache correctness. Migrations have been upgraded with the introduction of agentic migrations, which leverage AI to handle complex updates that can't be fully automated. The release also sees @nx/dotnet becoming generally available, offering first-class support for .NET projects within Nx. Additional improvements include shell tab-completion, native Node.js support for plugin loading, and a V8 compile cache that enhances performance. The update aligns Module Federation with upstream standards, simplifies multi-version plugin compliance, and enhances Self-Healing CI with broader VCS support and auto-apply recommendations. Several deprecated APIs and executors have been removed or replaced as part of a cleanup effort, while community contributions continue to play a vital role in Nx's development. The release encourages users to update seamlessly using the nx migrate command.
