Pull request overview

This PR updates shared/authentication-related dependencies used across Azure PowerShell (primarily those shipped/loaded via Az.Accounts) and applies small code adjustments in several modules to resolve type/namespace ambiguities introduced by the dependency bumps.

Changes:

Bumped shared/runtime dependency set (Azure.Core/Azure.Identity/MSAL/System.* and related transitive deps) and refreshed the Az.Accounts conditional assembly loading inventory.
Updated several modules’ code to fully-qualify Identity model types to avoid ambiguous references.
Added a repo agent guide for the standard shared-dependency update workflow and documented the dependency changes in Az.Accounts’ changelog.

        public virtual TokenCredential CreateManagedIdentityCredential(string clientId)
        {
-            return new ManagedIdentityCredential(clientId);
+            return string.IsNullOrEmpty(clientId)


Double checked this wont change behaviour. Confirmed null or empty ClientId will result in the same outcome.
