Research direction
The issue names no files or tests. Start by locating PS7 Native API usages, the assembly dependency, and #ifdef UNIX guards; then assess the .NET API or P/Invoke alternatives and the universal-package constraint. Done means the dependency is removed without losing the required platform-specific runtime support.
