✅ Include Source Generator With Library

I created a source generator for a framework I'm making. I'm trying to make the include tree look like this:

Generator -> Framework -> Application
                 ^            ^
              Generator applied to
          both framework & application

Generator -> Framework -> Application
                 ^            ^
              Generator applied to
          both framework & application

I'm including each like this:

application csproj:
  <ProjectReference Include="../Framework/Framework.csproj" />

application csproj:
  <ProjectReference Include="../Framework/Framework.csproj" />

framework csproj:
  <ProjectReference Include="../Generator/Generator.csproj" OutputItemType="analyzer" ReferenceOutputAssembly="false" />

framework csproj:
  <ProjectReference Include="../Generator/Generator.csproj" OutputItemType="analyzer" ReferenceOutputAssembly="false" />

generator csproj:
  <None Include="$(OutputPath)/netver/$(AssemblyName).dll" Pack="true" PackagePath="analyzers/dotnet/cs" Visible="false" />

generator csproj:
  <None Include="$(OutputPath)/netver/$(AssemblyName).dll" Pack="true" PackagePath="analyzers/dotnet/cs" Visible="false" />

rn the generator is only being applied to the framework. I've been looking all over to figure out how to get it to also apply to the application, but I can't find anything that works. Any suggestions would be super helpful.

I've also tried to just include the generator in the application as a temporary solution, but that causes another issue where the generator executes twice, separately for both projects. In which case leads to a bunch of different questions: - can I guarantee the execution order? - can I determine if the generator is currently running on the framework? - how can I share state between the two runs?
