Impact
REQUIRED: Choose either Tooling Impact or Customer Impact (or both). At least one checkbox must be selected.
Tooling Impact
Updates Azure Pipelines templates for MSIX store publishing (3-task split architecture), global tools validation (added bootstrap), SDK validation (added bootstrap and DOTNET_NOLOGO), and improved regex patterns for changelog URL generation. Changes module name from ThreadJob to Microsoft.PowerShell.ThreadJob and updates Linux SDK image to Ubuntu 22.04.
Customer Impact
Regression
REQUIRED: Check exactly one box.
This is not a regression.
Testing
Validated YAML syntax for all modified pipeline files. Confirmed architectural change from 2-task MSIX publish structure (Stable/LTS combined) to 3-task structure (separate LTS, Stable, Preview tasks). Verified all conditions use correct variable syntax and service endpoints. Tested Get-BackportWorktreeDiff function to review all changes against upstream/release/v7.4.
Risk
REQUIRED: Check exactly one box.
This backport includes significant architectural changes to Azure Pipelines store publishing automation (splitting from 2 to 3 conditional tasks) and updates to SDK validation bootstrapping. While these changes come from the tested v7.6.0-preview.5 release branch, they modify critical build and release infrastructure. The changes are well-understood and conflicts were carefully resolved following established patterns.
