Lower the framework-dependent Helix Job Monitor .NET tool from the repository's latest bundled target framework to $(NetMinimum), and allow it to run on newer installed .NET runtimes through major-version roll-forward.
Motivation
The monitor currently targets the latest in-development runtime, which unnecessarily requires that exact runtime on the fixed Azure Pipelines monitor agent. The tool does not require latest-runtime APIs. Targeting Arcade's supported minimum framework while opting into major roll-forward keeps one portable tool package and allows the existing agent SDK/runtime to host it.
Scope
- Target
Microsoft.DotNet.Helix.JobMonitor at $(NetMinimum) instead of $(BundledNETCoreAppTargetFramework).
- Set
<RollForward>Major</RollForward> for the packaged executable.
- Keep the existing framework-dependent
PackAsTool package, manifest installation, and dotnet exec invocation model.
- Align direct project dependencies only where required for the Job Monitor to compile at
$(NetMinimum); avoid unrelated framework-target changes.
- Verify the packed tool/runtimeconfig carries the intended target framework and
Major roll-forward setting.
- Preserve Job Monitor behavior and existing scenario coverage.
Out of scope
- Self-contained publication.
- RID-specific packages or apphosts.
- Native AOT or single-file publication.
- Pipeline-template installation or invocation changes.
Acceptance criteria
- The Job Monitor builds and packs for
$(NetMinimum) as a framework-dependent .NET tool.
- Its generated runtimeconfig targets the minimum framework and specifies major-version roll-forward.
- The installed tool can launch on the monitor agent using a newer available runtime when the minimum runtime is absent.
- Existing Job Monitor tests continue to pass.
- Any dependency target changes are minimal and justified by the executable's dependency graph.
