Pull request overview

Updates the .NET linker optimization step that inlines ObjCRuntime.Class.GetHandle calls so that it does not inline calls for types in the BrowserEngineKit / BrowserEngineCore namespaces. This aligns the linker’s behavior with the build’s opt-in linking policy for those frameworks, avoiding native link failures (and unintended linking implications) when the frameworks aren’t meant to be linked.

Changes:

• Add a namespace-based skip to prevent inlining Class.GetHandle for BrowserEngineKit / BrowserEngineCore types.
• Document the rationale in-code (with an opportunity to improve traceability via a reference link).
• (Suggested) Add regression coverage to prevent this special-casing from being accidentally removed.
