Editor's note
I kept this issue intentionally mixed, because that’s what the daily feed does best. The MCP C# SDK update is the one to watch if you’re tracking where AI tooling is heading in .NET, and the SQL Server indexing piece is a practical performance read for people tuning real systems. There’s also solid grounding here with Redis, keyed services, and exception handling advice.
