Pull request overview
This PR updates the XML doc “TrimDocs” build step to use a pwsh local dotnet tool (restored via dotnet tool restore) so developers on macOS/Linux don’t need to install PowerShell separately.
Changes:
- Switch TrimDocs execution to
dotnet tool run pwshand adddotnet tool restorebefore running the script. - Add a
RestoreToolstarget and wire it as a dependency for doc trimming in the consolidated ref project. - Register the
powershelldotnet tool (commandpwsh) in the repo’s tool manifest.

Having to install powershell is a roadblock for local development on mac and linux. We can install it via dotnet tools before performing any build actions that depend on it.
