Based on discussion we had on the runtime installation design, here's a proposal for how dotnetup should handle installation tracking, updates, and uninstalls.

Pull request overview

This PR adds a design document that describes how dotnetup will track installations, handle updates, and support uninstalls. The design is based on a discussion from the runtime installation design PR (#52409) and proposes using a shared manifest to track install specifications and installed components.

Changes:

  • Added a new design document describing the installation tracking mechanism for dotnetup
  • Defined the structure for install specs, installations, and subcomponents in the shared manifest
  • Outlined the implementation approach for install, update, delete, and garbage collection operations

We should likely provide a json schema for the manifest file as well.

specs will need to include a path to a global.json but we don't have to reflect this here.
