Two related details: services that implement only `IAsyncDisposable` need a scope created with `CreateAsyncScope()` (.NET 6) and disposed with `await using`, otherwise the container throws when it tries to dispose them synchronously; and `IOptionsSnapshot<T>` is registered scoped while `IOptionsMonitor<T>` is a singleton, so injecting the snapshot into a singleton is the captive-dependency mistake in the options pattern's own clothes.","created_at":"2026-09-16T15:44:54.993881+00:00","kind":"observation"}],"next_cursor":null}
