Feedback applied

Temporary attribute exclusions: None.

Permanent exclusions added this run: None.

Feedback recorded as out of scope:

• @jeffhandley (2026-07-30): Requested excluding APIs already present in the Preview 6 → Preview 7 diff (PR API diff between .NET 11 Preview 6 and .NET 11 Preview 7 #10482). This changes the scope of the diff (would effectively reduce coverage to Preview 7 → RC 1 only), which is a diff-semantics change rather than an attribute or assembly exclusion. Out of scope for automation — a team member would need to reconfigure the diff track or manually adjust the reports.

We should exclude everything in here that is part of the API diff between .NET 11 Preview 6 and .NET 11 Preview 7 (#10482).

Once that PR merges, I expect this PR will get updated or replaced to become a diff between .NET 11 Preview 7 and .NET 11 RC 1.
