This PR introduces a runtime assembly resolution path without locking the assembly file on disk by leveraging
File.ReadAllBytes
to load the assembly into memory without a file reference. This allows the package manager UI to use installed local dependencies while still allowing those same dependencies to be updated.Caveat: code used specifically by the package manager UI can never depend on
Assembly.Location
or similar properties in theAssembly
class that depend on loading the assembly from a file path.Fixes #1048
