Research direction

Start by reading README, AGENTS.md, run.ps1, and PandocAgreementTests to see how the AotCheck publish command and local test skips are handled. Check the repository’s CI setup for the expected pandoc behavior. Done when the Visual Studio Installer path requirement is documented or configured, and missing pandoc produces a visible skip reason or is required locally.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

  1. dotnet publish tests/AotCheck -r win-x64 fails at the native link step unless C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\Installer is on PATH. Document this in README/AGENTS.md or set it in run.ps1. 2. PandocAgreementTests skip without a message when pandoc is missing and CI isn't set. Make the skip visible (a skip reason that names pandoc) or require pandoc locally. Found by the checker inventory (2026-11-06).
