September 2025 – NuGet/NuGet.Client: Delivered cross-command audit source consistency for NuGet CLI flows. Refactored GetAuditSources to accept an IPackageSourceProvider and wired it into nuget.exe restore and nuget.exe install.

The changes improve security posture by ensuring uniform auditing across restore/install and provide early visibility into vulnerable dependencies. This work is captured in commit f6511c9db8672d7f6a5fbb16287cbd15bd1d31c2 (#6475).
