High memory usage and context overflow are two different problems in Claude Code. Raise the Node heap for RAM, use /context and /compact for the window, /heapdump to diagnose.

A complete guide to IAsyncDisposable in C#: when to use await using, how to write DisposeAsync and DisposeAsyncCore correctly, and the stacking and ConfigureAwait gotchas that leak resources.

Thread a CancellationToken cleanly through every layer of an async call chain in .NET 11: last-parameter convention, default values, linked tokens, ASP.NET Core RequestAborted, and the CA2016 analyzer that catches the ones you drop.

Use CancellationTokenSource.CancelAfter to enforce an async deadline in .NET 11: constructor vs CancelAfter, linked tokens for composing timeouts with caller tokens, exception disambiguation, Task.WaitAsync, TryReset for pooling, and testable timeouts with TimeProvider.

SkiaSharp 4.148.0 is the first stable v4 release. GPU-heavy UIs render up to 24% faster, CPU shaders run ~6x faster, and the legacy API surface is finally retired. Here is what upgrading actually costs you.

After auto-compaction, Claude Code can leave your MCP server connected but with no tools. Run /mcp to reconnect; if tools stay gone, /clear or restart. Here is why and how to prevent it.

Use HasData only for fixed, model-owned reference data. Use UseSeeding and UseAsyncSeeding for everything else in EF Core 11. A side-by-side comparison with the rules that force the decision.

Claude Code v2.1.191 (June 24, 2026) extends /rewind so you can restore conversation and code state from before you ran /clear, recovering context that used to be gone for good.

EF Core throws FOREIGN KEY constraint failed because the parent still has dependents the database refuses to orphan. Load the children, make the relationship optional, or configure OnDelete.

MCP error -32000 means your MCP server process exited before the handshake finished. Fix the missing binary, the Windows cmd /c wrap, the event-loop exit, and the startup race.
