Pull request overview
Updates the EF Core 11 breaking-changes documentation to capture recent EF tooling-related breaking changes, including clearer behavior around .NET Framework startup projects and the removal of a transitive Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.Design dependency from tools packages.
Changes:
- Adds two new “Low” impact entries to the breaking-changes Summary table.
- Introduces a new “Low-impact changes” section documenting the two EF tools breaking changes, including rationale and mitigations.

Not too sure about the .NET Framework breaking change note - either it's not a breaking change or it may need to be reworded (at least that's how I understood it). But otherwise LGTM.
