Do not use to diagnose, provide therapy, manufacture certainty, or lower goals for reassurance.

Build, review, debug, package, and test Roslyn diagnostic analyzers, code fix providers, and incremental source generators. Use for DiagnosticAnalyzer, CodeFixProvider, IIncrementalGenerator, IOperation analysis, Microsoft.CodeAnalysis dependency pinning, Roslyn test harnesses, C#/VB tests, and analyzer NuGet packaging.
