+## .NET 10 Best Practices (Research Updated: November 2025)
+
+### Key Improvements in .NET 10
+
+**Performance:**
+- AsyncTaskMethodBuilder optimizations - reduced async overhead
+- ValueTask<T> expansion - zero allocations for synchronous completions
+- Array enumeration inlining - faster iterations
+- Background GC compaction improvements - reduced pause times
+
+**C# 14 Features:**
+- Field-backed properties with `field` keyword
+- Extension members (properties, static methods)
+- Null-conditional assignment operator `?.=`
+- Implicit Span conversions
+
+**ASP.NET Core 10:**
+- Native SSE support via `TypedResults.ServerSentEvents()`
+- OpenAPI 3.1 with JSON Schema 2020-12
+- Cookie authentication behavior changes (401/403 instead of redirects for APIs)
+- Built-in validation support for minimal APIs
+
+### Library-Specific Recommendations
+
+#### SourceLink Configuration (Critical for Debugging)
+Add to `.csproj` for better consumer debugging experience:
+```xml
+<PropertyGroup>
+  <PublishRepositoryUrl>true</PublishRepositoryUrl>
+  <EmbedUntrackedSources>true</EmbedUntrackedSources>
+</PropertyGroup>
+
+<ItemGroup>
+  <PackageReference Include="Microsoft.SourceLink.GitHub" Version="*" PrivateAssets="All"/>
+</ItemGroup>
+```
+
+#### Nullable Reference Types
+- New projects have `<Nullable>enable</Nullable>` by default in .NET 10
+- Use "Boy Scout Rule" for existing code: enable file-by-file with `#nullable enable`
+- Avoid null-forgiving operator `!` when possible
+
+#### NuGet Audit (.NET 10 Feature)
+- Automatically audits transitive dependencies for security issues
+- Run `dotnet package update --vulnerable` regularly
+- Integrates with GitHub Advisory Database
+
+### Async/Await Best Practices
+
+#### Channel<T> Patterns
+**Current Implementation is Good, but Consider:**
+
+1. **Add Channel Options** for better control:
+```csharp
+var options = new UnboundedChannelOptions
+{
+    SingleReader = true,  // Each client has one reader
+    SingleWriter = false, // Multiple publishers
+    AllowSynchronousContinuations = false  // Avoid blocking publisher
+};
+```
+
+2. **Handle Channel Completion**:
+```csharp
+public void Publish(T item)
+{
+    foreach (var (clientId, channel) in _channels)
+    {
+        if (!channel.Writer.TryWrite(item))
+        {
+            // Channel completed or full - remove dead channels
+            _channels.TryRemove(clientId, out _);
+        }
+    }
+}
+```
+
+#### IAsyncEnumerable Guidelines
+- Use `[EnumeratorCancellation]` attribute on CancellationToken parameters
+- Methods returning `IAsyncEnumerable<T>` should end with "Async" suffix
+- Never call `.Result` or `.Wait()` - deadlock risk
+- Implement `IAsyncDisposable` for resources
+
+#### ValueTask Optimization
+- Use `ValueTask<T>` for high-throughput scenarios (>90% synchronous completion)
+- .NET 10 has zero-allocation ValueTask for synchronous paths
+- Only apply after benchmarking shows benefit
+
+### Testing Best Practices
+
+#### Avoid Flaky Tests
+**Root cause of test flakiness:**
+- 54% race conditions (use condition-based waits, not arbitrary delays)
+- 30% timing issues (increase timeouts for CI environments)
+- 16% shared state pollution
+
+**Solution - Polling Helper Pattern:**
+```csharp
+public static async Task WaitUntilAsync(
+    Func<bool> condition,
+    TimeSpan? timeout = null,
+    string? timeoutMessage = null,
+    CancellationToken cancellationToken = default)
+{
+    timeout ??= TimeSpan.FromSeconds(10);
+    using var cts = CancellationTokenSource.CreateLinkedTokenSource(cancellationToken);
+    cts.CancelAfter(timeout.Value);
+
+    try
+    {
+        while (!condition())
+        {
+            await Task.Delay(TimeSpan.FromMilliseconds(50), cts.Token);
+        }
+    }
+    catch (OperationCanceledException) when (!cancellationToken.IsCancellationRequested)
+    {
+        throw new TimeoutException(timeoutMessage ?? "Condition not met within timeout");
+    }
+}
+```
+
+**Usage:**
+```csharp
+// Instead of: while (sseStream.ClientCount == 0) await Task.Delay(50);
+await WaitUntilAsync(() => sseStream.ClientCount > 0, TimeSpan.FromSeconds(10));
+```
+
+#### Testcontainers with IAsyncLifetime
+**Best practice for shared containers:**
+```csharp
+public sealed class RabbitMqFixture : IAsyncLifetime
+{
+    private readonly RabbitMqContainer _container = new RabbitMqBuilder()
+        .WithImage("rabbitmq:3.13-management")
+        .Build();
+
+    public string ConnectionString => _container.GetConnectionString();
+
+    public async Task InitializeAsync() => await _container.StartAsync();
+    public async Task DisposeAsync() => await _container.DisposeAsync();
+}
+
+[CollectionDefinition("RabbitMQ Collection")]
+public class RabbitMqCollection : ICollectionFixture<RabbitMqFixture> { }
+```
+
+**Benefits:**
+- Container started once per test collection (faster)
+- Proper async lifecycle management
+- Automatic cleanup
+
+#### xUnit v3 Features
+- Use `TestContext.Current.CancellationToken` for test timeouts
+- Use `IAsyncLifetime` for async setup/teardown
+- Tests automatically cancelled after timeout
+
+### RabbitMQ Integration Patterns
+
+#### Core Principles
+- **Publish to exchanges, not queues** - enables flexible routing
+- Use `BasicAck` to confirm successful processing
+- Use `BasicNack` with requeue for transient failures
+- Implement Dead Letter Exchange (DLX) for permanent failures
+
+#### Retry Patterns
+**Quorum Queues (Modern Approach):**
+- Set "Delivery limit" argument for automatic retry limits
+- Automatically dead-letters after max retries
+
+**Exponential Backoff:**
+- Use multiple wait queues with TTL: 1min, 5min, 15min
+- Each queue dead-letters back to application exchange
+- Track retry count via `x-death` header (RabbitMQ 3.8+)
+
+#### Framework Considerations
+- For complex scenarios, consider NServiceBus or MassTransit
+- Provide built-in retry, saga, and error handling patterns
+
+### Security & Breaking Changes
+
+#### ASP.NET Core 10 Authentication
+- Unauthenticated API requests now return 401/403 instead of redirecting
+- Applies to endpoints with `IApiEndpointMetadata`
+- If exposing HTTP endpoints, ensure proper 401/403 handling
+
+#### NuGet Package Security
+- Always use SPDX license expressions (not deprecated LicenseUrl)
+- Include README.md in package for better first impressions
+- Enable NuGet audit in CI/CD pipelines
