Assessment

Difficulty: 4/5
Estimated time: 3-5 days
Newbie friendliness: 45/100

Issue type: Bug
Clarity: Mostly clear
Activity status: Stale
Tech stack: fsharp
Domain: build-system, tooling

Research direction

Reproduce the failure with paket install --redirects and the shown F#/.NET configuration, then inspect how Paket generates binding redirects. Compare the generated XML with the missing FSharp.Core redirect and verify that the affected test or sample can load the resolved assembly without the FileLoadException.
