## Fully-qualified test name
`Microsoft.Build.Coordinator.UnitTests.CoordinatorIntegration_Tests.NestedBuild_InheritsCoordinatorGrant_DoesNotDeadlock`
Source: `src/MSBuild.Coordinator.UnitTests/CoordinatorIntegration_Tests.cs`
## Next steps
This test will be quarantined via `[ActiveIssue("https://github.com/dotnet/msbuild/issues/")]` (from `Microsoft.DotNet.XUnitV3Extensions`, namespace `Xunit`) until the underlying nondeterminism is fixed. This approach stamps the `Category=failing` trait, which normal CI excludes; the quarantine pipeline (def 344) re-runs it on all platforms to gather ongoing signal.

Research direction
Start with src/MSBuild.Coordinator.UnitTests/CoordinatorIntegration_Tests.cs and the test Microsoft.Build.Coordinator.UnitTests.CoordinatorIntegration_Tests.NestedBuild_InheritsCoordinatorGrant_DoesNotDeadlock. Reproduce the failure on the CoreOnMac and FullOnWindows Release legs, using the reported coordinator connection error as the signal. Done means the nondeterminism is fixed and the test no longer needs the ActiveIssue quarantine.
