This PR migrates several file I/O tasks to use the new multithreadable task API by implementing the \IMultiThreadableTask\ interface and using \TaskEnvironment\ for thread-safe path resolution.

Changes

The following tasks now implement \IMultiThreadableTask\ and use \TaskEnvironment.GetAbsolutePath()\ instead of \Path.GetFullPath():

  • Copy.cs
  • Delete.cs
  • MakeDir.cs
  • RemoveDir.cs
  • Touch.cs

Why

\Path.GetFullPath()\ uses process-global state (current working directory) which is not thread-safe when multiple tasks run in parallel. The \TaskEnvironment.GetAbsolutePath()\ method provides thread-safe path resolution by using the task's execution context.

This enables these tasks to be safely executed in parallel when MSBuild's multithreading is enabled.

- Updated FileState.cs to accept TaskEnvironment parameter
- Migrated 7 File I/O tasks to IMultiThreadableTask:
  * Copy - added attribute, interface, TaskEnvironment property and updated path/environment access
  * Delete - migrated with proper path resolution
  * MakeDir - migrated with path deduplication
  * RemoveDir - migrated with directory operations
  * Touch - migrated with file timestamp operations
  * ReadLinesFromFile - migrated for file reading
  * WriteLinesToFile - migrated for file writing
- All tasks use MSBuildMultiThreadableTaskAttribute for routing
- All tasks implement IMultiThreadableTask for TaskEnvironment access
- Tasks use TaskEnvironment.GetAbsolutePath() for thread-safe path resolution
- Tasks use TaskEnvironment.GetEnvironmentVariable() for thread-safe environment access

Pull request overview

This PR converts several file I/O tasks to support multi-threaded execution by implementing IMultiThreadableTask and using TaskEnvironment for thread-safe path resolution. The changes replace static path resolution methods with instance-based TaskEnvironment.GetAbsolutePath() calls to ensure proper path handling in concurrent scenarios.

Key Changes:

  • Added IMultiThreadableTask interface and [MSBuildMultiThreadableTask] attribute to 7 file I/O task classes
  • Introduced TaskEnvironment property to all modified tasks for thread-safe operations
  • Modified FileState constructor to require TaskEnvironment parameter and use it for path resolution
