Test crash from 'stride crash test'.

Error message

Test crash from 'stride crash test'.

What it means

This is a deliberate exception thrown by the hidden `stride crash test` subcommand. It exists solely to exercise the crash-report pipeline (store, consent prompt, send) end to end without a real bug. It is not a malfunction of the library.

Solutions

1. No fix required — this crash is intentional; confirm the crash report was stored and the consent/send flow behaved as expected.
2. If you hit this accidentally, simply do not run `stride crash test`; it is hidden and for pipeline testing only.

try { await command.InvokeAsync("crash test"); }
catch (InvalidOperationException ex) when (ex.Message.Contains("Test crash from")) {
    // expected: intentional pipeline test crash; assert report stored/sent
}

When it happens

Trigger: Running `stride crash test` on the command line; the hidden test command's action unconditionally throws InvalidOperationException.

Common situations: Developers or QA validating crash reporting works in headless tools; someone discovering the hidden command via help/autocomplete and running it unknowingly.
