… AppHost The C# empty AppHost template (aspire new aspire-empty) in Aspire 13.4 was generating a duplicate profiles block in aspire.config.json that was also present in apphost.run.json. This regression is fixed in microsoft/aspire#17820: launch profiles now live exclusively in apphost.run.json and aspire.config.json is minimal (AppHost path only).

Pull request overview
This PR updates the Aspire 13.4 “What’s new” page to explicitly document a user-visible CLI/template change: the C# empty AppHost template no longer duplicates launch profile data in both aspire.config.json and apphost.run.json.
Changes:
- Adds a new bullet under “CLI quality-of-life” describing the
aspire new aspire-emptytemplate output change. - Clarifies that
aspire.config.jsonis now minimal for this template and that launch profiles are not duplicated there.

| - `aspire update` now requires `--yes` in non-interactive mode, matching `aspire destroy`. | ||
| - `aspire stop --all` output includes the AppHost name and, when needed, the PID for clearer multi-instance shutdown output. | ||
| - `aspire new`, `aspire init`, `aspire run`, and `aspire update` include fixes for NuGet feed errors, output paths, generated files, disabled dashboards, detached shutdown, and AppHost package-reference cleanup. | ||
| - The C# empty AppHost template (`aspire new aspire-empty`) no longer emits a duplicate `profiles` block in `aspire.config.json`. Launch profiles now live exclusively in `apphost.run.json`, so newly scaffolded projects have a minimal `aspire.config.json` that only identifies the AppHost entry point. This was a regression introduced in 13.4 when `apphost.run.json` was added alongside `aspire.config.json`; it is now corrected. |

Aspire 13.4 introduced a regression (#17660) where
aspire new aspire-emptyfor a C# project emitted aprofilesblock inaspire.config.jsonthat duplicated content already present inapphost.run.json. This was confusing for users who saw the same profile data in both files and might wonder whether the files could drift.microsoft/aspire#17820 fixes the regression:
aspire.config.jsonis now minimal and only identifies the AppHost entry point (appHost.path), whileapphost.run.jsonis the authoritative home for launch profiles.The existing what's-new/aspire-13-4.mdx page mentioned
aspire newfixes generically but did not call out this specific user-visible change in scaffolded file output.Changes
