Azure Pipelines will not run the associated pipelines, because the pull request was updated after the run command was issued. Review the pull request again and issue a new run command. |

@copilot can you add back the "Key Steps in Release Pipeline" info |
Added detailed documentation for ci-official-release.yml pipeline: - Publish to Workload Set Channel step - Release Packs step - Release Manifests step - Important Parameters section Co-authored-by: rmarinho <1235097+rmarinho@users.noreply.github.com>
Added back in commit f2c9dad. The "Key Steps in Release Pipeline" section now documents the three main steps of the ci-official-release.yml pipeline: Publish to Workload Set Channel, Release Packs, and Release Manifests, along with the important parameters. |

Pull request overview
Removes several no-longer-referenced Azure Pipelines YAML files and updates repo documentation/instructions to stop pointing at the deleted pipeline definitions, aligning docs with the current official build/release pipelines (ci-official.yml and ci-official-release.yml).
Changes:
- Deleted multiple unused pipeline entrypoints and shared pipeline templates under
eng/pipelines/. - Updated release and UI testing docs to remove or replace references to deleted pipelines.
- Updated Helix device-test instruction scoping (
applyTo) to avoid targeting removed pipeline files.

In the release flow, step 2 says ci-official-release.yml publishes to internal feeds. From the actual ci-official-release.yml pipeline, this pipeline gathers artifacts via Darc and pushes workload set channel + NuGet.org; it doesn't appear to publish to internal feeds. Please correct this bullet to avoid misleading release operators.
| - Published to internal feeds for consumption by other .NET repositories | |
| - Uses Darc to gather build assets for the specified commit hash |
| Darc is used during the build process to: | ||
|
|
||
| 1. **Find the Build**: Using the commit hash parameter, Darc identifies the corresponding build in the BAR. | ||
| ```powershell | ||
| $buildJson = & $darc get-build --ci --repo "${{ parameters.ghRepo }}" --commit "$(COMMIT)" --output-format json | ||
| $barId = $buildJson | ConvertFrom-Json | Select-Object -ExpandProperty "id" -First 1 | ||
| ``` | ||
| 1. **Track the Build**: Each build is assigned a unique BAR ID that catalogs all assets produced. | ||
|
|
||
| 2. **Gather Assets**: Once the BAR ID is obtained, Darc collects all the packages from internal feeds. | ||
| ```powershell | ||
| & $darc gather-drop --ci --id $barId -o "$(Build.StagingDirectory)\nupkgs" --azdev-pat $(System.AccessToken) --verbose | ||
| ``` | ||
| 2. **Publish Assets**: All packages are published to internal feeds and registered in the BAR. | ||
|
|
||
| 3. **Channel Association**: For workload sets, Darc adds the build to the appropriate workload channel. | ||
| ```powershell | ||
| & $darc add-build-to-channel --ci --channel "$workloadSetsChannel" --id "$barId" --skip-assets-publishing | ||
| ``` | ||
| 3. **Channel Association**: Builds are added to the appropriate workload channel (e.g., ".NET 8 Workload Release", ".NET 9 Workload Release"). | ||
|
|
||
| 4. **Publishing**: The gathered packages are then published to NuGet.org and other appropriate channels based on pipeline parameters. | ||
| 4. **Downstream Distribution**: The gathered packages are then published to NuGet.org and other appropriate channels as part of the build pipeline. | ||
|

The 'Publishing Process Flow with Darc' section currently states that downstream distribution (publishing to NuGet.org) happens "as part of the build pipeline". Based on ci-official-release.yml, NuGet.org publishing happens in the release pipeline, not ci-official.yml. Please adjust this wording (and the preceding sentence "Darc is used during the build process") to reflect the actual split between build vs release pipelines.

This updates applyTo to remove device-tests*.yml, but there is a mirrored copy of this instructions file under custom-instructions/repo/.github/instructions/helix-device-tests.instructions.md that still references eng/pipelines/**/device-tests*.yml. Please update the mirrored copy as well so the instruction set stays consistent.

The PR description says it removes 3 unused pipeline files, but this PR also deletes additional pipeline YAMLs/templates (e.g., eng/pipelines/handlers.yml and multiple eng/pipelines/common/*.yml). Please update the PR description/title to reflect the full scope, or restore any files that are still intended to be supported.
