✅ Recommended Next Steps

  1. Review PR#7692 (v4 publishing onboarding) — infrastructure change, good to land early in the cycle.
  2. Review PR#7693 + PR#7597 — clean, focused changes ready to merge.
  3. Triage #7680 — new feature request needs area labels and discussion.
  4. Evaluate breaking-change proposals (#7665, #7664) — best decided early in the 4.3 / 2.3 cycle.
  5. Advance Assert.Scope() (PR#7355) — soft assertions are a frequently requested feature; would be a great 4.3 highlight.
  6. Revisit #757 — long-standing MSTest issue awaiting approval; could improve a lot of inheritance-based test suites.
