Setting StableRelease.PublishToChannels to false makes ChannelSelection.IsStable evaluate to false for non-preview builds, which leads to "No valid channel detected" failures in downstream release templates (e.g., release-MSIX-Publish.yml and package-store-package.yml) because they require exactly one channel to be true. To disable publishing without breaking the pipeline, consider separating "is stable build" from "publish stable to channels" (e.g., keep IsStable derived from the tag/build type and gate publish steps with a separate publish flag), or ensure the MSIX/Store publish stages/jobs are fully skipped when stable publishing is disabled.

PR title/description mention preventing 7.5.x from publishing to stable channels, but this flag disables stable-channel publishing for all stable (non-preview) builds produced from this branch. If the intent is specific to 7.5.x only, it may be worth confirming this PR targets the correct release branch and that disabling stable publishing here won’t unintentionally affect other stable servicing releases that use the same pipeline config.
