Research direction
Download the Windows PowerShell-7.6.4-win-fxdependent.zip package from the linked release and compare its runtimes directories with the expected list. Trace the release packaging configuration that creates the framework-dependent archive across platforms; done means each package contains dependencies only for its target platform.
