Skip playground projects in build-packages workflow

[Copilot]

The SkipPlaygroundProjects parameter was added in eng/Build.props and is used in localhive.sh, but wasn't applied to the build-packages workflow. This causes unnecessary builds of playground projects during package creation.

Changes

• Added -p:SkipPlaygroundProjects=true to the build command in .github/workflows/build-packages.yml

This aligns with the existing -p:SkipTestProjects=true usage and prevents playground projects (which are for development/testing only) from being built during package builds.

- name: Build with packages
  run: ./build.sh -restore -build -build-extension -ci -pack -bl -p:InstallBrowsersForPlaywright=false -p:SkipTestProjects=true -p:SkipPlaygroundProjects=true ${{ inputs.versionOverrideArg }}

Original prompt

We added SkipPlaygroundProjects in cbab0e7 to skip it during a call to build.sh. Use it

aspire/.github/workflows/build-packages.yml

Line 28 in 0a57ac6

run: ./build.sh -restore -build -build-extension -ci -pack -bl -p:InstallBrowsersForPlaywright=false -p:SkipTestProjects=true ${{ inputs.versionOverrideArg }}

Pull Request Overview

This PR optimizes the package build workflow by skipping playground projects during the package build process. Since playground projects are not needed for package generation, excluding them reduces build time and resource usage.

Key Changes

• Added -p:SkipPlaygroundProjects=true flag to the build command in the package build workflow
