Small new feature in MSBuild Structured Log Viewer:

`$project height=0`

Finds projects of the given height/depth/tier. height=0 finds all projects with no references. height=1 finds projects that reference them. If you specify `height=max` it also displays what the max is.
E.g. `$project height=0` `$project height=1` ... `$project height=max`

This is definitely the weeks where decades happen part.
That had to be the most expensive PR in history.

Coming soon: MSBuild binlog viewer will display the import chain at the bottom as you move the caret in the preprocessed text.

You can then click on any import to highlight it in the tree.

Then you can press Space on any import to jump back to the preprocessed text where that file is imported.

Family just called again for yet another HVAC capacitor issue, which I don't mind, happy to help. Even happier I just learned these exist: https://www.amazon.com/Turbo-200-Motor-Run-Capacitor/dp/B007IKYT1G

Taps for 25, 20, 10, 5, 5, and 2.5mfd so you jumper the size you need for whatever the unit wants, rather than stocking many types of capacitors. More expensive of course, but very handy.
