From bf4a7e94f8c93aadc2e909a1ec7f6a921d87ea86 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Viktor Hofer Date: Wed, 14 Jan 2026 16:16:21 +0100 Subject: [PATCH 01/14] Fix the lifecycle of task host factory when using Runtime=NET If the task host factory is explicitly requested, do not act as a long lived task host.
