Disable .NET SDK rollForward in global.json

[Copilot]

The SDK was configured with rollForward: latestMinor, allowing automatic upgrades to newer minor SDK versions. This change locks the SDK to the pinned version.

Change

// global.json
"rollForward": "disabled"  // was "latestMinor"

Original prompt

Create a PR on branch BAS/disable-dotnet-rollforward for repository WiseTechGlobal/WTG.Analyzers to ensure the .NET SDK global.json disables roll-forward.

File: global.json
Current content (from

WTG.Analyzers/global.json

Lines 1 to 6 in 2b23b78

	{
	"sdk": {
	"version": "8.0.300",
	"rollForward": "latestMinor"
	}
	}

):

{
  "sdk": {
    "version": "8.0.300",
    "rollForward": "latestMinor"
  }
}

Requirements:

• Set sdk.rollForward to exactly "disabled".
• Ensure property name is exactly rollForward (camelCase) per .NET SDK documentation (fix casing if needed).
• If rollForward is missing, add it and set to disabled.
• Preserve JSON validity and do not change other fields.

WTG.Analyzers is built & tested in a GitHub workflow, not on DAT. So the set of installed SDKs is determined by configuration within this repository.

WTG.Analyzers/.github/workflows/build.yaml

Line 27 in 2b23b78

dotnet-version: 8.0.300

So this will only affect people trying to build locally.

Note: this is a public repository.

I think these days we can take out lines 26 and 27 from the GitHub Actions workflow, and actions/setup-dotnet will act based upon the root global.json by default.

Also lines 53-54. Then release.yaml lines 28-29.

Should probably remove them just so we don't have so may places to update when updating the SDK.

I'm happy to restrict to only those repositories based on QGL/DAT too.
