Detects MSBuild projects with conflicting OutputPath or IntermediateOutputPath. USE FOR: builds failing with 'Cannot create a file when that file already exists', 'The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process', intermittent build failures that succeed on retry, or missing/overwritten outputs in multi-project or multi-targeting builds where bin/obj (or project.assets.json) collide. Common causes: shared OutputPath, missing AppendTargetFrameworkToOutputPath, ex...

Design and run bounded chaos engineering experiments that test whether a system preserves measurable steady-state behavior during realistic faults. Use for resilience hypotheses, game days, fault injection, failover and recovery validation, or LitmusChaos and Chaos Mesh experiments involving pod, node, network, latency, resource, storage, DNS, time, or cloud failures. Require explicit authorization before mutating an environment, especially production; do not use as a substitute for load test...

Expert-thinking profile for Cellular Neuroscientist (wet-lab / patch-clamp electrophysiology / live-cell imaging / culture-slice-iPSC preparations / synaptic physiology): Treat the neuron as a cable with active channels, not a point integrator unless you have shown it is one for your question.
