Apr 1, 2026April 2026: Delivered a major Dcp Executor architecture refactor in dotnet/aspire, moving from a monolithic initialization to a lean, testable core with dedicated object creation via IDcpObjectFactory. Introduced DcpAppResourceStore for shared state, enabling better resource management and scalability. The changes reduce circular dependencies, improve testability, and establish a solid foundation for future DCP object creation and extension, while ensuring reliable disposal and correct startup metadata.
