April 2025 monthly summary for microsoft/rats: Delivered AML native build support and environment provisioning via a BuildContext-based approach, with mutual exclusion between image and build settings to streamline AML environment definitions. Strengthened type safety by enforcing non-optional BuildContext path fields, and simplified configuration by removing the BuildContext namedtuple and relying on the configuration dictionary. Released version 0.10.0 across repos as part of this milestone. Key commits: - feat: aml native build support (96445411137f15237638a091bfd28f5d4b50ae97) - fix: use aml concrete class when creating the environment (3ff681ac32fb9c6388a1a45829f35b19088e4fc5) - fix: correct types (b4ebd818ec8496ca43ff2495cb276e32331ba79d) - refactor: remove BuildContext namedtuple (08bf4d5bcaa2646ed9deb635ed8a9105c599ce81) - fix: failed missing import (515f357b37229b10bde60ea05d99f4b84061740a) - bump: bump version (aa8cf10b7899b4a2f7afe61f30e8462931a30989)
