Pull request overview
This PR backports log grouping functionality from #26326 to the release/v7.5 branch, improving GitHub Actions CI log readability by adding collapsible sections to build operations. The changes wrap major build phases with Write-LogGroupStart and Write-LogGroupEnd functions, and introduce a new Show-Environment function to standardize environment variable display across workflows.
Changes:
- Added log grouping to major build operations in
build.psm1(clean, restore, build, publish, module restore, configuration generation) - Created
Show-Environmentfunction intools/ci.psm1to consolidate environment display logic - Updated all GitHub Actions workflows and composite actions to use
Show-Environmentinstead of inline commands - Added
