🗺️ Actionable Next Steps
- Review
#7626 — MSTEST0017 false-positive fix is ready for review, it closes a user-reported issue (#7578).
- Investigate
#7606 — [TestCategory] regression in v4; this needs triage/priority attention before 4.2 ships.
- Close out
#7612 — Terminal output changes still need revisiting before the 4.2 stable release.
- Track upstream arcade fix — Monitor
dotnet/arcade#16642 to eventually revert the SDK downgrade workaround.
- Review draft PRs —
#7564 (pipe protocol terminal) and #7619 (MSBuild /Isolate) are worth promoting once ready.
- Merge
#7444 — Structured assertion error messages has been open since Feb 20; getting this in would be a nice quality-of-life win for users.
