Editor's note
I put together a pretty varied mix this time: AI plumbing, platform previews, architecture hygiene, and a few practical productivity pieces. The MCP server article and the new C# SDK release stand out for teams building AI-enabled services, while the architecture tests piece is a solid reminder that maintainability still matters. I also liked the .NET 11 Preview 2 and VS Code AI posts because they show where the platform and tooling are headed.
