Description
Description
I was working on a PR over in FsAutoComplete and was suggested to open an issue for discussion over in this repo see here per @smoothdeveloper
Repro steps
-
I ran
dotnet tool restore -
I then ran
dotnet paket simplify
Additional Context:
Running dotnet sdk check this is what is on my local
dotnet-tools.json at the time of running these commands
Expected behavior
It sounds like the expected behavior (up for discussion) is to keep the FSharp.Core reference in the paket.reference files
Actual behavior
Paket removes FSharp.Core from the paket.reference since it is a transient dependency

Research direction
Reproduce the behavior with dotnet tool restore followed by dotnet paket simplify, using the issue's paket.references and dotnet-tools.json context. Trace why FSharp.Core is treated as transient, then verify that simplification preserves the reference if that is confirmed as the expected behavior.
