Pull Request Overview
This PR fixes a file lock issue with unloadable AssemblyLoadContext by removing an unnecessary AddRef() call in the CoreCLR VM. The fix prevents loaded assemblies from holding file locks after their AssemblyLoadContext has been unloaded, which was causing the issue described in GitHub #119647.
Key changes:
- Removes extra
AddRef()call that was preventing proper cleanup of file handles - Moves assembly validation to occur during Assembly creation rather than DomainAssembly construction
- Adds comprehensive test to verify file locks are properly released after ALC unload
