Description
Description
Paket is trapped in an infinite loop when resolving (Microsoft.Data.SqlClient 5.0.1) with [strategy: min].
Repro steps
I created a minimum reproduce repo.
https://github.com/HenryZhang-ZHY/reproduce-paket-issue-4263
Expected behavior
Paket can resolve the conflict or exit with an error. Anyway, it should not fall into an infinite loop.
Actual behavior
Paket trapped into an infinite loop.
Known workarounds
Pin Microsoft.IdentityModel.Logging to a specific version.

Research direction
Start by running the linked reproduce-paket-issue-4263 repository with Microsoft.Data.SqlClient 5.0.1 and [strategy: min], then compare the resolution path with the pinned Microsoft.IdentityModel.Logging workaround. Done means Paket terminates by resolving the conflict or reporting an error instead of looping indefinitely.
