Issue description

We are hitting the 25 MB marketplace update size limit for an SPFx .sppkg package.

We are building a client-side CAD viewer for SharePoint. The package is about 30.8 MB after production build because it includes the runtime assets needed to render CAD and 3D files in the browser.

This appears to be specifically a Marketplace upload/update limitation. The same .sppkg can be uploaded through the tenant App Catalog, so there is already precedent for SharePoint accepting larger SPFx packages.

Could Microsoft increase the Marketplace SPFx .sppkg update size limit above 25 MB? Anything above the current limit would help; 50 MB would give Marketplace SPFx apps with legitimate client-side runtime assets much more breathing room.
