Work History

Jun 1, 2026

June 2026: Improved async exception visibility and stack-trace reliability in spectre.console. Core change fixes async stack traces to show the actual source method names (e.g., ExecuteAsync) rather than MoveNext(), by passing MethodBase by reference in TryResolveStateMachineMethod and its call site. This work includes regression tests to ensure proper exception handling in async methods and regression coverage via async throw helpers, plus a verifier test with a snapshot asserting resolved async method names. These improvements reduce debugging time for async errors and align stack traces with developer expectations.
