PR Summary
This pull request introduces platform-aware filtering to the package installation process, ensuring that only the most relevant files for the user's runtime and platform are extracted from NuGet packages. It adds new parameters to allow explicit selection of target runtime and framework, and implements logic to filter out unnecessary files, significantly reducing installation size and improving cross-platform support.
Platform-aware installation and filtering:
RuntimeIdentifierandTargetFrameworkparameters to theInstallPSResourcecmdlet, allowing users to specify the desired platform and framework for filtering package contents.InstallHelper.csto filter runtimes andlib/entries in.nupkgfiles, installing only those matching the detected or specified RID and TFM, and skipping unrelated files. [1] [2]GetBestLibFramework), filter library entries (ShouldIncludeLibEntry), and auto-detect the current runtime's framework (GetCurrentFramework).User experience and diagnostics:
WarnIfCrossLineageTfmSkipped) when TFM filtering skips assemblies for a different .NET lineage, alerting users if the installed module may not work on another host (e.g., installing for PowerShell 7+ but skipping Windows PowerShell 5.1 assemblies).PR Context
Platform aware installation was brought up in issue: #794.
