We used a paste type flux. I applied the flux to all surfaces to be
joined before assembly. The solder appeared to my unpracticed eye to
wick in and around the joint during brazing. On inspection after the
failure, it seemed like I had good wicking action on most of the butt
joint contact area, but not on any of the slip joint area. I have no
good way to inspect the opposite side of the joint after assembly,
since that's inside the tiny chamber.
I added a fourth photo to the gallery, I think it shows that behavior
best. Here it is:

Does anyone have good resources to suggest for braze joint design
guidelines?
Did you use some flux assist?
Good idea is to have visual check
for the solder wicking being successful.
