• Identified the issue: Start-TypeGen in build.psm1 dynamically writes a .targets file containing the _GetDependencies MSBuild target to src/Microsoft.PowerShell.SDK/obj/Microsoft.PowerShell.SDK.csproj.TypeCatalog.targets
• Added the _GetDependencies target directly into src/Microsoft.PowerShell.SDK/Microsoft.PowerShell.SDK.csproj
• Removed the dynamic target file creation from build.psm1
• Wrapped both dotnet msbuild and dotnet run calls in Start-TypeGen with Start-NativeExecution for consistent exit-code handling
• Fixed .\dummy.csproj → ./dummy.csproj in the csproj comment for cross-platform correctness

Pull request overview

Moves the _GetDependencies MSBuild target definition from a dynamically generated .targets file created by Start-TypeGen into the Microsoft.PowerShell.SDK.csproj, so builds-from-source don’t rely on writing transient targets into obj/.

Changes:

• Added _GetDependencies target directly to src/Microsoft.PowerShell.SDK/Microsoft.PowerShell.SDK.csproj.
• Removed the transient .targets file generation block from Start-TypeGen in build.psm1.

File	Description
src/Microsoft.PowerShell.SDK/Microsoft.PowerShell.SDK.csproj	Inlines _GetDependencies target so it’s available without generating/importing an obj/*.targets file.
build.psm1	Removes the runtime creation of the .targets file while preserving the existing dotnet msbuild /t:_GetDependencies invocation flow.

Pull request overview

This PR simplifies TypeGen by moving the _GetDependencies MSBuild target from a dynamically-generated .targets file in build.psm1 into the Microsoft.PowerShell.SDK.csproj, and standardizes native command execution in Start-TypeGen.

Changes:

• Added _GetDependencies target directly to src/Microsoft.PowerShell.SDK/Microsoft.PowerShell.SDK.csproj.
• Removed dynamic generation of obj/Microsoft.PowerShell.SDK.csproj.TypeCatalog.targets from build.psm1.
• Wrapped dotnet msbuild and dotnet run in Start-TypeGen with Start-NativeExecution.

File	Description
src/Microsoft.PowerShell.SDK/Microsoft.PowerShell.SDK.csproj	Defines _GetDependencies target in-project (instead of relying on an auto-imported generated targets file).
build.psm1	Removes generated targets creation and uses Start-NativeExecution for TypeGen’s dotnet invocations.
