Work item (Internal use): ### Summary Updates MSBuild version branding from 18.3 to 18.4 following the pattern established in #12786. **Changes:** - `eng/Versions.props`: Bump `VersionPrefix` from `18.3.0` to `18.4.0` - `azure-pipelines/vs-insertion.yml`: Add `rel/d18.4` target branch and `vs18.4` branch mapping - `.config/git-merge-flow-config.jsonc`: Configure merge flow chain as vs18.0 → vs18.3 → vs18.4 → main **Note:** Creating the `vs18.3` servicing branch requires write permissions and must be done separately. ### Customer Impact None. Branding update only affects internal version strings and CI/CD pipeline configuration for VS insertions and branch merge flows. ### Regression? No. Configuration-only changes to version strings, build pipeline mappings, and merge flow automation. ### Testing - Repository build successful - MSBuild version reports `18.4.0-dev` - Sample project builds without errors - JSONC syntax validation passed - Code review and security scans passed ### Risk Low. Minimal surface area—version string, pipeline configuration, and merge flow updates following established pattern from previous version bumps. <!-- START COPILOT ORIGINAL PROMPT --> <details> <summary>Original prompt</summary> > > ---- > > *This section details on the original issue you should resolve* > > <issue_title>Snap for vs18.3 and update branding to vs18.4</issue_title> > <issue_description>- [ ] Mimic what was done in #12786 but for vs18.4 instead of vs18.3 > - [ ] Create a vs18.3 branch with https://github.com/dotnet/msbuild/tree/fb775842a00d534aaf25466ff76e0d8fe86d2e7d as the HEAD SHA</issue_description> > > ## Comments on the Issue (you are @copilot in this section) > > <comments> > </comments> > </details> <!-- START COPILOT CODING AGENT SUFFIX --> - Fixes #13004 <!-- START COPILOT CODING AGENT TIPS --> --- 💬 We'd love your input!
