Public-safe by design
How sensitive context stays out of this repo entirely.
Microsoft-sensitive context lives under
private/microsoft/ms-build-2026-info-repo —
intentionally gitignored, local-only, and never pushed. A pre-push
check, scripts/validate-public-boundary.sh, blocks
private, binary, and local browser debug artifacts from leaving
local before they can reach GitHub.
Everything you can read here, on every page, is drawn only from the
public sources above and the public content scan in
docs/build-2026-latest-content-scan.md.
