What changed

  • Deleted 43 unused type declarations across 6 assemblies (DocumentFormat.OpenXml, netstandard, System.Security.Cryptography.Xml, MimeKit, MailKit, System.Drawing.Common)
  • All 49 assembly blocks retained and verified to be non-empty after deletion
  • Changes limited to a single file (dotnet.al) with 168 deletions and 0 insertions
  • No external extensions can consume these aliases because DotNet interop requires OnPrem target while partners target Cloud
  • Zero-usage scan performed across all 36,684 AL files to confirm none of the 43 aliases were referenced

AL objects touched

  • src/System Application/App/DotNet Aliases/src/dotnet.al: modified, not in the BC30 snapshot

Context
