- Add execute permission to sdk-build-env.sh and RunTestsOnHelix.sh
- Remove the PayloadDirectory metadata from the HelixCorrelationPayload. This is not supported by Helix and is something sdk added. The CreateLocalHelixTestLayout task had a hard dependency on the PayloadDirectory yet is wasn't specified for every HelixCorrelationPayload. The CreateLocalHelixTestLayout was updated to depend on the include metadata instead.

Good call here, since Directory.CreateDirectory already works ok if the directory exists.

I was initially concerned about this, but I don't think this crosses any trust boundary that isn't already crossable.

Something isn't working properly in GitHub here...
The .sh files are properly set as text here. Any idea what is going on?

Can this throw if it doesn't have permission (for some reason) or if any of the files are locked?

Yes, it will throw UnauthorizedAccessException for permissions and IOException if the files are locked.
