Pull Request Overview
This PR moves testing-related files from being placed directly in the artifacts directory to a dedicated subfolder under artifacts/tmp/testing/. This change prevents interference between the testing global.json and Arcade's signing logic by isolating test artifacts from build artifacts.
Key changes:
- Introduces a new
TestLayoutDirproperty pointing toartifacts/tmp/testing/ - Updates all MSBuild targets to use
TestLayoutDirinstead ofArtifactsTmpDirfor test-related file operations - Modifies global.json generation to create files in both the artifacts bin directory and the new test layout directory

I expect this to break lots of tests - I think it had to go in that directory so that test usages would all work. WAIT you're a genius |
