Research direction

Start by locating MSIX Core's existing bundle and resource-package handling, along with the entry points used for loose file deployment. Trace how applications and resource packages are discovered and loaded without packaging. Done means loose file app contents can be treated as bundles with resource packages and resource loading can be tested without creating or sideloading packages.
