Fix: The type or namespace name 'X' could not be found (after adding a project reference)

CS0246 right after a fresh ProjectReference is almost always a TargetFramework mismatch, a stale obj folder, or a missing using directive. Five fixes in order of likelihood.

How to Set Up an LLM-as-Judge Eval Harness for a Coding Agent

Build a working LLM-as-judge eval harness for a coding agent in Python: golden tasks, deterministic checks, a rubric judge on Claude Sonnet 4.6, calibration against human labels, and a CI gate that fails the build when scores regress.

GitHub Copilot Drops Claude Sonnet 4 From Every Surface

GitHub deprecated claude-sonnet-4 on May 6, 2026 across Copilot Chat, inline edits, ask and agent modes, and code completions. Recommended migration target is Claude Sonnet 4.6. What to grep for in your repo before the next pinned model selection silently breaks.

Fix: Cannot consume scoped service 'X' from singleton 'Y'

ASP.NET Core's scope validation throws this when a singleton would capture a scoped dependency for the rest of the process. Make the consumer scoped, or take IServiceScopeFactory and create a scope on demand.

Fix: PlatformNotSupportedException: Operation is not supported on this platform in Native AOT

Native AOT strips the JIT and the interpreter, so reflection emit, expression-tree compilation, and unseen MakeGenericType throw at runtime. Find the call via IL3050 and replace it with a source generator or a pre-baked path.

2026-05-10 errors csharp dotnet

Fix: Unable to resolve service for type 'X' while attempting to activate 'Y'

ASP.NET Core throws this when a constructor asks for a type that was never registered, was registered on the wrong container, or was added after the host was built. Three concrete fixes cover almost every case.

How to Pipe Cursor's Context to an Aider Session for Multi-Agent Refactors

Cursor is the best place to plan a refactor. Aider is the best place to execute it from a terminal with cheap models and atomic git commits. This guide shows the exact pipe: dump the Cursor chat to markdown, hand it to Aider as a read-only context file, and run an architect/editor split that finishes the work.

Fix: TaskCanceledException: A task was canceled in HttpClient

HttpClient throws TaskCanceledException for three different reasons: timeout, caller cancellation, or a connection-level abort. Tell them apart with InnerException and CancellationToken.IsCancellationRequested, then fix the right one.

Copilot Studio's .NET 10 WebAssembly upgrade: 20% cold path, 5% warm

Microsoft moved Copilot Studio's WASM engine from .NET 8 to .NET 10. The dual JIT/AOT package, fingerprinting, and WasmStripILAfterAOT explain the numbers.

Fix: The JSON value could not be converted to System.DateTime

System.Text.Json only accepts ISO 8601 strings for DateTime. Send 2026-05-08T14:00:00Z or register a JsonConverter that parses your format. Empty strings and Unix timestamps both throw.
