Purpose

This PR follows on the recent changes to the PM Search functionality. Following an in-depth discussion with the wider design team regarding how Compatibility should be calculated, this PR contains the changes on the PM Client side.

Current rules affecting the compatibility calculation:

1. Fall back to Dynamo Sandbox computability version will follow the below rules:
   • In Revit look for Revit specific compatibility version. If it is there, use Revit version data and stop.
   • In Revit look for Revit specific compatibility version. If Revit specific compatibility info is not present, look if only Dynamo host exists and then use it.
   • In C3D look for C3D specific compatibility version. If it is there use C3D version data and stop.
   • In C3D look for C3D specific compatibility version. If C3D specific compatibility info is not present, look if only Dynamo host exists and then use it.
   • In Sandbox only ever look for Dynamo host. If you find it use it and stop.

2. Do we support Minimum only range? Yes
   • If you only put a Minium, we assume that it is compatible with all point versions of this major version.
   • We limit it Major version.
   Example Scenario: Min = 2025.0, Max Left Black
   Assumption. This will be implemented as any version above 2025.0 and above this (Limited by major version) package works. In 2026 this package will be labeled as incompatible.
   For Dynamo we limit to Major versions (2.x, 3.X and so on)

3. Do we support Maximum only range? No

4. Min cannot be greater than the max

5. Version field is a String (not a number)
