Summary
This updates the Cargo SDK so generated primary outputs are published through the evaluated MSBuild
OutputPathinstead of staying only in Cargo’s target tree. That lets dependent projects consume Rust-produced artifacts through normal MSBuild project-reference contracts while keeping Cargo intermediates out of the public output directory.The SDK still honors
CargoOutputDiroverrides and ordinary local Cargo builds. The new contract also supports explicit output declarations and automatic discovery for the common cases the SDK can safely publish.Why this is safe
