Contributor guide
Research direction
Start with the linked CI run and the CountingSemaphore.Basic test, then inspect the surrounding CountingSemaphore test implementation and its concurrency behavior. Reproduce the crash if possible and trace the failure to its cause; done means the sporadic CI crash is explained and the relevant test or implementation no longer fails.
