Research direction
Start by reproducing VersionOracleTests.CloudBuildNumber_4thPosition on the linked Ubuntu 24.04 GitHub Actions job, then inspect TryCalculateHeight where Commit.Parents is accessed concurrently. Compare behavior with the temporary serialized test collections and determine whether independent repository operations are supported; done means documenting the cause and providing a confirmed fix or guidance for the current package versions.

Description
Environment
- LibGit2Sharp 0.32.0
- LibGit2Sharp.NativeBinaries 2.0.324 (libgit2 1.8.6)
- .NET SDK/runtime 10.0.400
- Linux x64, GitHub-hosted Ubuntu 24.04 runner
Failure
A test process intermittently terminates with System.AccessViolationException while accessing Commit.Parents during a version-height calculation. The test uses distinct temporary repositories per test instance, and the LibGit2Context and its Repository are both live and strongly referenced throughout the failing call.
The latest occurrence is in this public GitHub Actions job:
https://github.com/dotnet/Nerdbank.GitVersioning/actions/runs/33464845055/job/99722455984
Relevant managed stack:
System.AccessViolationException: Attempted to read or write protected memory.
at Nerdbank.GitVersioning.LibGit2.LibGit2GitExtensions.<GetCommitHeight>g__TryCalculateHeight|19_0(LibGit2Sharp.Commit, <>c__DisplayClass19_0 ByRef)
at Nerdbank.GitVersioning.LibGit2.LibGit2GitExtensions.GetCommitHeight(LibGit2Sharp.Commit, GitWalkTracker, Func<Commit, Boolean>)
at Nerdbank.GitVersioning.LibGit2.LibGit2GitExtensions.GetVersionHeight(LibGit2Context, Version)
at Nerdbank.GitVersioning.LibGit2.LibGit2Context.CalculateVersionHeight(VersionOptions, VersionOptions)
at Nerdbank.GitVersioning.VersionOracle..ctor(GitContext, ICloudBuild, Nullable<Int32>)
at VersionOracleTests.CloudBuildNumber_4thPosition(...)
TryCalculateHeight is walking commit.Parents; this theory does not configure path filters, so it does not call Diff.Compare.
Investigation
We found and fixed separate repository-local lifetime defects where a lazy commit query escaped its context and a VersionOracle retained a disposed context. This crash persists after those fixes, and the present stack has no escaped lazy sequence or disposed native owner.
The test assembly's normal xUnit test-collection parallelism is the remaining variable. We are temporarily serializing test collections to prevent the intermittent native process crash, but would prefer a LibGit2Sharp/libgit2 fix or guidance about concurrent independent repository operations on Linux/.NET 10.
Related historical reports include #988 and #1513, but this report targets the current package versions and live-context Commit.Parents failure.
