Pull request overview
This PR updates documentation for the dotnet store command and the runtime package store to clearly indicate that the feature is deprecated, not supported on modern .NET, and generally should not be used. It adds prominent warnings, cautions, and a workaround note to reduce confusion for users encountering this legacy feature.
Changes:
- Updated
dotnet storecommand docs with front matter metadata, an AI usage flag, and high-visibility warnings about deprecation and known issues on .NET 6 and later. - Updated the runtime package store article with warnings, cautions, and clearly marked legacy sections, including a discouraged workaround, to emphasize that the feature is deprecated and not supported on modern .NET.
- Added a reference link to the relevant GitHub issue documenting the
dotnet store/crossgen problems.
