MAUI pivots its production CI to .NET 11.0 while Runtime consolidates stub allocation with JIT infrastructure, eliminating a parallel memory path that's leaked 15 years of technical debt.

MAUI shipped a deterministic preview workload installability gate [1] designed to catch consumer-facing problems before release, then followed with production branch alignment: net11.0 moves into the official build pipeline while net10.0 drops from nightly CI [2]. Both changes tighten the build surface and reflect the platform's maturation past preview status. On the Runtime side, a major structural consolidation removes LoaderAllocator's dedicated m_pStubHeap, routing all stub memory through the unified ExecutionManager allocator shared with JIT code [3]. That change alone cuts maintenance surface by eliminating separate init, terminate, and DAC plumbing. Meanwhile, async-profiler hardening adds StackTraceHidden attributes to V1 dispatch frames to match V2 behavior, ensuring callstack stitching works predictably for diagnostic tooling [6]. BenchmarkDotNet dropped its System.Management dependency entirely [4], replacing it with CsWin32 code generation and PowerShell-based fallbacks [5]. SqlClient's CI now prevents duplicate artifact errors on job re-runs by suffixing artifact names with job attempt numbers [7], a fix that unblocks pipeline debugging workflows.
