<!-- Enter a brief description/summary of your PR here. What does it fix/what does it change/how was it tested (even manually, if necessary)? --> ## Summary of the Pull Request This pull request introduces an "artifact-based" mode for consuming the Windows App SDK in CI pipelines, allowing builds to use NuGet packages directly from Azure DevOps pipeline artifacts instead of public/internal feeds. This is achieved by adding new parameters and logic to pipeline YAML and PowerShell scripts, supporting scenarios where packages are not yet published to a feed. The changes also improve robustness when updating package versions and add documentation for authentication requirements. These changes make the pipeline more flexible and robust, enabling builds to consume unreleased or pre-release packages directly from CI artifacts, which is especially useful for testing and validation scenarios. <!-- Please review the items on the PR checklist before submitting--> ## PR Checklist - [ ] Closes: #xxx <!-- - [ ] Closes: #yyy (add separate lines for additional resolved issues) --> - [x] **Communication:** I've discussed this with core contributors already.
