Fix: A possible object cycle was detected

System.Text.Json refuses to serialize graphs with back-references. Set ReferenceHandler.IgnoreCycles, project to a DTO, or mark the back-pointer with [JsonIgnore]. Preserve is a last resort.

Fix: SqlException: Timeout expired during EF Core migrations

Migrations use the design-time DbContext, not your runtime CommandTimeout. Set the timeout via UseSqlServer(o => o.CommandTimeout(...)), the connection string Command Timeout, or Database.SetCommandTimeout before Migrate().

Fix: System.Text.Json.JsonException: The JSON value could not be converted

System.Text.Json throws this when the incoming JSON token doesn't match the CLR target type. Match the JSON to the type, or register a JsonConverter or JsonSerializerOption that bridges them.

Fix: System.Security.Cryptography.CryptographicException: Keyset does not exist

Fix: The command 'dotnet' could not be found on CI

Your CI runner cannot resolve dotnet because the SDK is not installed for that step, or it is installed but not on PATH. Use actions/setup-dotnet, pin a global.json, and export DOTNET_ROOT and ~/.dotnet/tools.

Fix: InvalidOperationException: Synchronous operations are disallowed

Replace the Stream.Read or Write call with ReadAsync/WriteAsync. As a last resort, set AllowSynchronousIO on Kestrel, IIS, or per-request via IHttpBodyControlFeature.

Fix: RZ10012: Found markup element with unexpected name in Blazor

Blazor's Razor compiler emits RZ10012 when a PascalCase tag has no matching component type in scope. Add @using for the component's namespace in _Imports.razor, or @namespace in the component, then rebuild.

Fix: dotnet ef migrations add fails with 'Unable to create an object of type DbContext'

EF Core's design-time tools could not instantiate your DbContext. Either expose a host via WebApplication.CreateBuilder, point to the right startup project, or implement IDesignTimeDbContextFactory.

Fix: MSB3027 Could not copy X to Y. Exceeded retry count of 10. Failed

MSB3027 means MSBuild retried a file copy 10 times and a process still held the destination. Kill the locking process, exclude bin/obj from antivirus, or raise CopyRetryCount.
