binlog-failure-analysis Guide
Analyze MSBuild binary logs to diagnose build failures. Only activate in MSBuild/.NET build context. USE FOR: build errors that are unclear from console output, diagnosing cascading failures across multi-project builds, tracing MSBuild target execution order, and generally any MSBuild build issues. Requires an existing .binlog file. DO NOT USE FOR: generating binlogs (use binlog-generation), non-MSBuild build systems. INVOKES: binlog MCP server tools (overview, errors, search, items, properties); falls back to dotnet msbuild binlog replay + grep/cat when the MCP is unavailable.
