Context
TaskHost (
OutOfProcTaskHostNode) implementsIBuildEngine10but lacks callback support. When tasks in TaskHost callIsRunningMultipleNodes,RequestCores/ReleaseCores, orYield/Reacquire, builds fail with MSB5022 orNotImplementedException. This blocks multithreaded builds with-mtmode whenMSBUILDFORCEALLTASKSOUTOFPROC=1.Changes Made

Notes
Phase 4 (BuildProjectFile* callbacks) deferred - requires complex
ITaskItem[]serialization and recursive build handling. Current implementation provides proven pattern for future extension.Warning
