See https://microsoft-my.sharepoint.com/:w:/p/mmitche/EdchH8A4okpOoKhkki1sJEYB0LyAaaCyX5_6A887gL744Q?e=JERvht for full design:
When “true”, build only from source. Online sources may remain unless DotNetBuildOffline is set to true. This is both an infrastructure and a product switch.
This is roughly equivalent to DotNetBuildFromSource in the current infrastructure, though other controls may be better suited.
I think this is set at orchestatrator, outer, and inner repo builds.
