Description

Summary of the new feature / enhancement

AdaptedResource manifests have a hardcoded value for the type name of the adapter, e.g. Microsoft.Adapters/PowerShell. This limits the ability to have different adapters built that may have other benefits that can work with the same adapted resources.

Proposed technical implementation details (optional)

Add a new optional property CompatibleWithAdapter that has the value of an object with typeName and optionally version (which can accept a semver req string). The engine would use this when searching for an adapter. The engine would still apply the "first one wins" rule.

For enterprises, we could add policy for preferred adapters.

Research direction

Start by locating the AdaptedResource manifest definition and the engine's adapter-search logic. Confirm how adapter type names are currently matched, then implement and verify the optional CompatibleWithAdapter object, including typeName and an optional semver version, while preserving the first-one-wins rule.
