How to get XUnit v3 to work with Test Explorer in VS Code
These problems seem to stem from the fact that xUnit v3 uses the new Microsoft Test Platform (MTP) which is a replacement for the older VS Test platform, but C# Dev Kit extension in VS Code - which is responsible for discovering tests in a C# test project and providing these to the Test Explorer window - does not work properly with MTP (yet!).

Pressing CTRL+C while reading user input (Console.ReadLine) has a weird issue.
Another commenter in your first post linked you to a bug report. The original bug was a sporadic one with dotnet test. But commenters added more reliable cases, and cases for other dotnet commands.

Why does VSTest put the output of data collectors to GUIDed subdirectories?
However, I am hesitant to do so. Whenever it seems I have to fight the tools that are provided for me this is a likely sign that I’m Doing Things Wrong because of some fundamental misunderstandings and misassumptions on my part. I did some digging and found that VSTest by design forces the placement of data collectors’ output into GUIDed subdirectories, see Coverlet documentation, Coverlet issue #500 and VSTest issue #2378. That this is forced by design reinforces my worries that I’m doing something counterproductive.

Integrating VSTest
I've had success creating my own logger by following this guide on the vsdocs github. Nowadays you don't have to deploy the assemblies for the custom logger to the vs install folders. vstest will scan the build output directory for assemblies that match the specified pattern, *.testlogger.dll. You can also specify the path for custom test adapters either from the command line or a runsettings file using the TestAdapterPath option (this is only available since v15.1 but you mentioned you've tried the html logger and I think that's much newer than v15.1). If you get stuck with the implementation you can try referring to vstest's own loggers: htmllogger, trxlogger.

Pick your class
IMO it's just held back by its ecosystem. NuGet doesn't integrate nearly as well with library source as Maven/Gradle/etc, and stuff like this makes it feel like a second-class citizen for CI.

Banging my head against a wall, any one here ever get intimate with Microsfot.NET.Test.SDK?
But going to have to dig in deep tonight, it seems that answer to what I seek is probably hidden somewhere in this repo: https://github.com/microsoft/vstest/ and the ITestDiscovery discovery process.
