+  F# Debug VSIX Compiler Override Props File
+  =====================================================================================
+  
+  PURPOSE:
+    This props file overrides FSharpCompilerPath to point to the VSIX Tools directory,
+    enabling use of locally-built F# compilers from the Debug VSIX.
+  
+  IMPORTANT - MANUAL IMPORT REQUIRED:
+    This file is NOT automatically imported by MSBuild. The Microsoft.VisualStudio.MsBuildProps
+    asset type only deploys the file to the VSIX package - it does NOT auto-import.
+    
+    To use this override, you must MANUALLY import this file in your project or 
+    Directory.Build.props:
+    
+    <Import Project="[VSIX_INSTALL_PATH]\Microsoft.FSharp.VSIX.Debug.Overrides.props" 
+            Condition="Exists('[VSIX_INSTALL_PATH]\Microsoft.FSharp.VSIX.Debug.Overrides.props')" />
+    
+    Typical VSIX install path (replace <version> and <random>):
+    %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\VisualStudio\<version>\Extensions\<random>\Microsoft.FSharp.VSIX.Debug.Overrides.props
+  
+  VERIFICATION STEPS:
+    1. Build VisualFSharpDebug project in Debug configuration
+    2. Check artifacts\bin\VisualFSharpDebug\Debug\ for this file
+    3. After F5/install, find VSIX at:
+       %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\VisualStudio\<version>\Extensions\
+    4. Search for "Microsoft.FSharp.VSIX.Debug.Overrides.props" in that directory
+    5. Manually import in your test project's Directory.Build.props
+    6. Build your F# project - look for warning: "[F# Debug VSIX] Using custom F# compiler from: ..."
+  
+  TROUBLESHOOTING:
+    - If no warning appears: props file is not imported (see above)
+    - If warning shows wrong path: check the VSIX install location
+    - To verify compiler is used: add /v:d to MSBuild and search for FSharpCompilerPath
