Documents changes from microsoft/aspire#19847.
@eerhardtTarget:
release/13.6, based on the source PR milestone13.6(exact match:release/13.6already exists onmicrosoft/aspire.dev).Why
Source PR microsoft/aspire#19847 moves bundled Aspire CLI NuGet operations (search, restore, package probe-manifest generation) from a separate
aspire-managed nugetsubprocess into the Native AOTaspireexecutable, calling NuGet.Client APIs in-process. This is a user-facing change:aspire integration listandaspire addkeep working without startingaspire-managed).aspire-managedhelper never initialized NuGet's credential service, so bundled search/restore could only use credentials stored innuget.config. Feeds that rely on a credential provider plugin (for example, Azure Artifacts) returned401. The in-process client now initializes the credential service, so installed credential provider plugins are used.The PR body's "User-facing usage" and "Intentional behavior change: NuGet credential providers" sections both describe user-visible effects, which triggered the
pr_body_has_user_facing_sectionandpr_body_has_cli_flag_mentionsignals (the latter from the--nuget-configfallback discussion). No existing docs mentioned this fix by name, so this PR documents it.What changed
src/frontend/src/content/docs/whats-new/aspire-13-6.mdx: added a new "In-process NuGet operations, with credential provider support" subsection under "🛠️ Aspire CLI enhancements", explaining the removal of theaspire-managedsubprocess hop for NuGet operations and the credential provider plugin fix. Also updated the release summary bullet to mention it.src/frontend/src/content/docs/get-started/troubleshooting.mdx: added a note to the existing "aspire addfinds no packages with an Azure Artifacts feed" troubleshooting entry, clarifying that 13.6+ initializes the NuGet credential service and how to further diagnose a persistent401after updating.Both are updates to existing pages — no new pages were created.
