Description

### Is there an existing issue for this?

- [x] I have searched both open/closed issues, no issue already exists.

### CefSharp Version

144

### Operating System

Windows 11

### Architecture

x64

### .Net Version

.Net 6

### Implementation

OffScreen

### Reproduction Steps

**Summary**
ijwhost.dll bundled in CefSharp.Common.NETCore was downgraded to an older version starting from 144.0.120, compared to 140.1.140.

**Steps to Reproduce**
Install CefSharp.Common.NETCore 140.1.140 and 144.0.120

Compare ijwhost.dll file versions under runtimes\win-x86\lib\net6.0\ in the NuGet cache

Observe the version downgrade

### Expected behavior

ijwhost.dll should be updated to the latest available version with each CefSharp release, or at minimum should not regress to an older version.

### Actual behavior

**Version details**
CefSharp Version - ijwhost.dll Version
- 140.1.140 - 6.0.3624.51421
- 144.0.120 - 6.0.3324.36610
- 145.0.260 - 6.0.3324.36610

Impact
Applications using CefSharp.Common.NETCore >= 144.0.120 will have an older ijwhost.dll copied to their build output, overriding any newer version provided by the .NET runtime packs on the build machine.

Research direction

Start by inspecting the CefSharp.Common.NETCore NuGet package contents under runtimes\win-x86\lib\net6.0\ and the packaging source that supplies ijwhost.dll. Compare the 140.1.140, 144.0.120, and 145.0.260 artifacts, then verify that a release no longer includes an older ijwhost.dll than the expected runtime version.
