Research direction

Start with the discussion in dotnet/runtime#109852, then inspect src/installer/managed/Microsoft.NET.HostModel/Microsoft.NET.HostModel.csproj at the referenced lines. Determine what “live SRM” means for HostModel and which project dependency or implementation changes are required. Done means the approach is agreed and HostModel uses the live System.Reflection.Metadata implementation without regressions.
