Description

xunit.runner.visualstudio 2.8.2 targets net452 and net6.0+ with no netcoreapp3.1 assets. NuGet falls back to .NETFramework and emits NU1701, which Directory.Build.props promotes to a fatal error in Release builds (TreatWarningsAsErrors=true), breaking dotnet build -c:release.

Fix: Added <NoWarn>NU1701</NoWarn> to the xunit.runner.visualstudio 2.8.2 PackageReference scoped to netcoreapp3.1 (and older TFMs):

<PackageReference Include="xunit.runner.visualstudio" Version="2.8.2" allowedVersions="[2.8.2]">
    <Version>[2.8.2]</Version>
    <NoWarn>NU1701</NoWarn>
    <PrivateAssets>all</PrivateAssets>
    <IncludeAssets>runtime; build; native; contentfiles; analyzers; buildtransitive</IncludeAssets>
</PackageReference>

Additional context

The NoWarn suppression is scoped to the PackageReference itself (not project-wide), so it only silences this specific known-compatible fallback and does not mask other NuGet compatibility issues.
