.NET TEMPLATING SHIPS ACROSS THREE VERSIONS AS SKILLS PLUGINS FACE CODEX COMPLIANCE OVERHAUL

By RepoJournal · Filed · About .NET

The templating pipeline rolled out point releases for .NET 8, 9, and 10 while the skills team scrambled to fix critical plugin manifest gaps that broke Codex CLI installs.

.NET 8.0.28, 9.0.17, and 10.0.9 all shipped with dependency updates from dotnet/arcade [1][2][3], closing out the templating release cycle across three active support tracks. Meanwhile, the skills desk uncovered a structural problem: the dotnet-msbuild Codex plugin fails installation because its mcpServers configuration was embedded inline instead of externalized to a separate .mcp.json file as the Codex spec demands [4]. This wasn't an isolated oversight. All 14 plugin directories lacked .codex-plugin/plugin.json manifest entry points entirely, blocking Codex CLI plugin discovery even though marketplace listings worked fine [6]. The team also patched two runtime failures: Copilot PAT rotation broke in gh-aw v0.77.5 because the agent job only declared a direct dependency on 'activation' instead of the 'pre_activation' job where the token gets selected [5], and the devops-health dashboard workflow abandoned its pinned issue and created duplicates when GitHub's search indexing silently dropped it [7]. WinForms absorbed the latest codeflow updates from the VMR [8][9][10], and Docker image metadata continues flowing through versions [11].
