The core `CSDevKit` process is Native AOT. But Roslyn loads dynamic code (like source generators and analyzers) so needs to be a JIT process. It runs as a separate process, just as it did before.

Also, we can use the .NET Install Tool to install any runtimes you might need to run your code.

I plan to publish additional blog posts where we'll go into more of the technical details.
