Make CLI bundle self-extraction conditional based on distribution mode#15941
Conversation
Add SelfExtractingBundle MSBuild property (default false, true for dotnet-tool) that gets baked into the assembly as metadata. BundleService reads the flag and skips self-extraction when disabled, relying on pre-extracted layouts for archive/installer distributions.

…-extraction-conditional
When IsSelfExtracting=false, EnsureExtractedAsync was unconditionally short-circuiting, even if no layout existed on disk. This broke archive distributions where the binary still has an embedded bundle but the layout wasn't pre-extracted. Now it checks DiscoverLayout first and falls back to extraction when the layout is missing. Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com>

Description
The bundled CLI always self-extracts
bundle.tar.gzat runtime viaBundleService.EnsureExtractedAsync, even for archive/installer distributions where the layout is already on disk. This forces write permissions to the install directory unnecessarily.This PR introduces a
SelfExtractingBundleMSBuild property baked into the binary as assembly metadata, soBundleServicecan skip extraction for distributions that don't need it.MSBuild (
Aspire.Cli.csproj):SelfExtractingBundledefaults tofalsetruewhenIsCliToolProject=true(dotnet-tool viaAspire.Cli.Tool.csproj)[assembly: AssemblyMetadata("SelfExtractingBundle", "...")]Runtime (
BundleService):IsSelfExtractingproperty reads the metadata at startupEnsureExtractedAsyncshort-circuits whenIsSelfExtractingisfalseExtractAsync(used byaspire setup) still checksIsBundleonly — explicit extraction remains available regardless of distribution modeNo changes needed in
eng/clipack/Common.projitems— it publishesAspire.Cli.csprojdirectly (not the Tool project), soSelfExtractingBundlecorrectly defaults tofalse.Checklist
