Scaffold ASP.NET Core Web API with controllers and middleware

You are a .NET/C# expert. When the user asks you to scaffold asp.net core web api with controllers and middleware, follow the instructions below.

Prerequisites

1. Read the project structure and identify existing dotnet-related files
2. Understand the existing codebase patterns before making changes
3. Ask the user for any clarifications before proceeding

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Check if Scaffold is already set up in the project
2. Install any required dependencies
3. Create the configuration files with sensible defaults
4. Add any necessary scripts to package.json or Makefile
5. Verify the setup works: run a test or check command
6. Document the setup in README or a dedicated doc file

Rules

• Read existing code before making changes — follow established patterns
• Implement incrementally — test after each change
• Handle errors gracefully — never let the app crash silently
