.NET 11 Interactive Framework and Device Selection is nice, but remove any TFM where the OutputType isn’t set to Exe.

For testing purposes, we usually include the base framework target in the multi-targeted project, but it’s also appearing as one of the target options in the Spectre console. Filter it out.

<TargetFrameworks>$(TargetFrameworks);net11.0</TargetFrameworks>
<OutputType Condition="'$(TargetFramework)' != 'net11.0'">Exe</OutputType>

Describe the solution you'd like

Look for the OutputType node and filter out the TFM which isn't valid for dotnet run.

Additional context

Multi-targeted projects like .NET MAUI

The Spectre console will still appear for selection, even if the project has only one valid Exe (runnable) TFM and base TFM configured.

Ideally, only runnable targets are to be listed in the Spectre console.

This is a great suggestion. It'll lead to potentially many more evaluations, so the overall experience could be slowed down noticeably. This will increase pressure on the MSBuild team to supply some kind of evaluation cache for sure, but that's a good thing overall.
