Description
Description:
Non-root install in tool cache using Microsoft provided binary archives.
Justification:
self-shosted runners should be run as non-privileged user for security.
The action is unable to install dotnet without hacks, that are hard to maintain.

Research direction
Start by tracing the setup-dotnet action's current installation path and how it handles tool-cache permissions; the issue does not name specific files or tests. Compare that path with Microsoft-provided binary archives and determine the required non-root behavior, then add coverage showing a self-hosted runner can install without privileged access.
