The Pdb2Xml command (ILSpy) and the PDB round-trip tests (Decompiler.Tests)
reference Microsoft.DiaSymReader*, previously gated on the build host being
Windows. That made dotnet restore resolve a different graph on Windows than
on Linux -- the packages (and their transitive tail: DiaSymReader.PortablePdb,
the legacy NETCore.Platforms/Win32 packages) appear only on Windows, and
DiaSymReader.Native flips between Direct and CentralTransitive. So a checkout
could not be developed across OSes without the committed packages.lock.json
churning on every Windows restore.
Drop the OS gate (keep Debug-only) so the restored graph, and the committed
lock, are identical on every OS. The consuming code is still gated by DEBUG
and WINDOWS, so on non-Windows the packages are restored but never compiled
in; the native asset only resolves for win-* RIDs.
The "Verify package contents" step (which checks the committed *.filelist
snapshots still match the built VSIX/MSI contents) had been excluding
packages.lock.json from its git diff to tolerate that per-OS churn. With the
locks now identical across OSes the carve-out is unnecessary, so it goes back
to a plain git diff --exit-code.
