Convert ResourceUrlAnnotation.DisplayOrder from field to property

[Copilot]

Description

ResourceUrlAnnotation.DisplayOrder was a public field. Converted to a property with get/set accessors for consistency with other public API members and to follow .NET design guidelines.

Changes

• ResourceUrlAnnotation.cs: Changed public int? DisplayOrder; to public int? DisplayOrder { get; set; }
• api/Aspire.Hosting.cs: Updated API baseline to reflect property signature
• CompatibilitySuppressions.xml: Added CP0008 suppression for field-to-property breaking change

The change is backward compatible for all existing usage patterns (read/write).

This is a binary-breaking change I believe. It is currently being used from the CommunityToolkit too: https://github.com/CommunityToolkit/Aspire/blob/5f8321271f9c3630d5758c44dae3d014cf1e7237/src/CommunityToolkit.Aspire.Hosting.McpInspector/McpInspectorResourceBuilderExtensions.cs#L96

[James Newton-King (JamesNK)]

Yes it would be a breaking change. Either we fix it now or never change it.

Do you have suggestions to mitigate? We could put an issue in the CT repo to let them know and document that MCP inspector requires a certain version of Aspire

If we want to break it I think we should wait for a major version.

[James Newton-King (JamesNK)]

Good point. If 13.2 is the next release then this should wait.

[James Newton-King (JamesNK)]

If we have time before this releases, we can help smooth out breaking change by removing usage in community toolkit - CommunityToolkit/Aspire#1088. Then re-add it once CT upgrades to vnext major.

Dismissing own review since consensus is to wait since this is a binary breaking change. That said if we are making other binary breaking changes we should slip this one in at the same time.

Closing as we aren't doing this now.
