This resource-notification pattern ensures that the resources are available before running the tests, avoiding potential issues with the tests failing due to the resources not being ready.

<Aside type="tip">
If a resource fails during startup (for example, a container exits
immediately or an executable can't be found), Aspire flushes any captured
resource logs before it publishes the terminal (`Exited` or `FailedToStart`)
state notification. That means test code awaiting `WaitForResourceAsync`
with a terminal state can rely on the resource's stdout/stderr output being
present in the captured host logs at the point the wait completes, which
makes fast-failing resources easier to diagnose.

## Start & Stop

In some cases, you may want to manually start a resource when it is not initially started, for when the resource was created `WithExplicitStart` for example.
