[Bug/Question] - Is a manual rebuild required in order for DacPac scaffold to see Stored Procedure parameter signature changes?

[chassq]

Bug description / exact reproduction steps

I attached a demo project. When we change the datatype of a parameter on Procedure3 (e.g., change from bigint to nvarchar) in the demo project, the DacPac scaffold does not seem to see the datatype change unless we do a manual rebuild on the database project (Right click on database project and rebuild). Is a manual rebuild always required before scaffolding?

I have some code to ensure that the projects builds, but it might not always work as expected?

From what I can see we are not getting any build of the DB project before the scaffolding. However, I do see a difference in our output window. We get a build is we use the legacy scaffolding but not when we use the current scaffolding. Maybe something to do with the recent scaffolding and a DacPac?

@chassq Ah, could be a bug in the new Wizard flow?

Could it be here: https://github.com/ErikEJ/EFCorePowerTools/blob/master/src/GUI/Shared/Handlers/ReverseEngineer/RevEngWizardHandler.cs#L649

Looks like might run only if it's not a DacPac?
