Desired State Configuration (DSC) Version 3
summary
Alpha-stage DSC V3 shows concrete changes: a native reimplementation with dc.exe in Rust, JSON adapter manifests that let any executable become a resource and per-resource PowerShell 5/7 selection, and new methods get set test export plus list validate and assertions. Demos include Dev Home using DSC to install apps, export heuristics, groups/parallel execution and function-style output passing. Code is in PRs, some features are incomplete but the demos run and adapters, schema and timeout/security-context work are demonstrated.
