Research direction

Start by reviewing the added package references in linked PRs 838 and 837, then collect the missing dependabot.yml, manifest, package-manager and language versions, and a minimal reproduction. Done means a NuGet update no longer injects unrequested package references, with the behavior covered by an appropriate regression test.
