Research direction

Start by reproducing the failure on a new machine with dotnet tool install -g Microsoft.Web.LibraryManager.Cli and review the package-signing validation path used by the CLI. The issue names no files or tests; done means the global install completes and the tool is available without the signing errors shown.
