In `@README.md`:
- Line 286: Update the README entry for the "snitch" link: locate the list item
containing "[snitch](https://github.com/spectresystems/snitch)" and replace the
current inaccurate description that mentions unused references with the correct
wording indicating it finds duplicate transitive package references (e.g.,
change the description to ".NET tool to find duplicate transitive package
references."). Ensure the updated line keeps the same link text and formatting.

💡 Result:
Snitch (by Spectre Systems) is a .NET CLI tool that helps you find transitive NuGet package references. It’s published as a dotnet tool (installable global/local) and the NuGet package (Snitch) description and versions are on nuget.org — latest stable listed 2.0.0 (published 2023-11-14). [1][2]
Install example:
- dotnet tool install --global Snitch --version 2.0.0. [2]
Sources:
- Spectre Systems NuGet profile (Snitch listed). [1]
- Snitch NuGet package page (2.0.0, description, install command). [2]
Update the description to accurately reflect the tool's functionality.
The repository link is valid, but the description is inaccurate. According to the official GitHub repository, snitch is specifically "A tool that help you find duplicate transitive package references," not a generic tool for finding unused references.
Change line 286 to:
* [snitch](https://github.com/spectresystems/snitch) - .NET tool to find duplicate transitive package references.
