Research direction

Start by inspecting OpenSdkToolchainBase at line 94 and SystemCoreToolchianPlugin at line 70, focusing on how the install path selects its year. Update the path selection to use wpilibyear rather than the toolchain year, then verify both locations produce the intended install path.
