Pull request overview
This PR enhances the documentation for the dotnet run file.cs feature by adding missing details about the PackAsTool property and clarifying the command resolution precedence rules. The changes ensure users understand how file-based apps are packaged as tools by default and how built-in commands take precedence over file-based apps with the same name.
- Documents that
PackAsToolis implicitly set totruefor file-based programs - Clarifies command resolution precedence (DLL paths, built-in commands, and NuGet tools take precedence over file-based apps)
- Adds opt-out instructions for
PackAsToolusing file-level directives
