helix-platforms.ymltemplate include to runtime-ioslike.yml, runtime-ioslikesimulator.yml, and runtime-maccatalyst.yml to ensure helix platform variables are available when these pipelines are triggered directly via/azp runcommands.All variables are defined in
eng/pipelines/helix-platforms.ymland resolve to the same or updated queue values.Customer Impact
None. Infrastructure change only.
Regression
No. This is a refactoring to improve maintainability.
Testing
YAML syntax validation confirmed. No functional changes to pipeline behavior.
Risk
Low. Direct variable substitution with existing centralized definitions. All affected pipelines now include
helix-platforms.ymlto ensure variables are properly resolved.This pull request was created from Copilot chat.
