See clearly. Change deliberately.

One environment: inventory reflects the dotnet host Cockpit resolves, with version-specific installation paths.
Useful context: release metadata adds lifecycle dates, support status and available patches. When it is unavailable, support status stays unknown.
You stay in control: changes require confirmation. Global tools and local declarations remain distinct, and an inherited parent manifest cannot be removed.
