Description
Description of the new feature / enhancement
If a configuration file is running, and I try to use the resource playground, WinGet Studio should warn me about a potential conflict.
It might be fine for me to have a configuration running and play with another resource that isn't a part of the running configuration.
It might be fine for me to use the resource playground to install an arbitrary package using the Microsoft.WinGet/Package resource, but it might be bad if I use it to uninstall a package that need to be present for the configuration in progress.
I wouldn't worry too much about deeply complex scenarios, but WinGet Studio should know about the resources being used in a configuration file that is executing such that I get a warning in the resource playground if I'm trying to do something with one of those resources.
Eg, I have Microsoft.Windows.Settings/WindowsSettings resource to enable developer mode (a requirement for something in the configuration file) in a running configuration, but I go into the resource playground and I change it to disabled. That could break the running configuration. I might be doing that intentionally to test something, but I should be informed a configuration file in progress depends on the resource I'm playing with.
