@copilot figure out what's causing the test's failure. I suspect it's a change in how MSTest deals with threading. The failing tests are setting up apartment models to simulate what happens in a real Windows WPF app

I tracked it down in the failed CI run: MSTest 4.2.1 is aborting in TestMethodInfo.get_TestContext() when our SharedApplicationTestMethodAttribute executes tests through the shared STA worker. The old implementation used a single shared slot/event and can race under concurrent scheduling, which leaves execution in an invalid context and crashes the host. I fixed it by making the shared STA runner queue-based with proper per-test completion signaling (2f35759).

@copilot, it looks like it's still failing with the same or a similar error.

@copilot, it looks like it's still failing with the same or a similar error.

Root cause found by reading MSTest 4.2.1 source: TestMethodRunner.ExecuteTestAsync now wraps the ExecuteAsync call with using (TestContextImplementation.SetCurrentTestContext(...)), which stores TestContext.Current in an AsyncLocal. Because our STA worker thread was created before the test run, it never receives that AsyncLocal value — so TestMethodInfo.get_TestContext() throws UnreachableException.

The fix (commit 1684756) captures the calling thread's ExecutionContext (which holds the AsyncLocal) and uses ExecutionContext.Run(capturedContext, ...) in the STA worker so TestContext.Current is visible when base.ExecuteAsync runs on the STA thread. Applied the same fix to SingleThreadedApartmentTestMethodAttribute which has the same pattern.
