Summary

The third complete review confirmed 18 distinct defects — 37 candidates found, 16 refuted, every survivor reproduced by execution. All 18 are fixed here, one commit each.

One is a runtime bug that stops an application booting. Two are tests that report green while holding nothing. Fifteen are statements in the repository that are false, and four of those were left behind by earlier fixes in this same repository.

The runtime one

An enum nested in a generic type stopped the application booting.

public class Box<T> { public enum Colour { Red } }   // anywhere in the scanned assembly
builder.Services.AddControllers().AddEnumMemberNameBinding();
REGISTRATION THREW System.ArgumentException: Specified type is not supported
   at System.Enum.InternalBoxEnum(...)
   at EnumContract..ctor(Type enumType) in EnumContract.cs:line 78

GetTypes() returns the open form Box\1+Colour, where IsEnumis true andContainsGenericParametersis true as well, andFieldInfo.GetValue` refuses it. That happens before the contract is looked at, so an enum nobody annotated, nobody registered and nobody wanted took the whole application down. The scan now passes it by; naming the closed form still registers it, which is pinned.

The two tests

  • NullGuardTests skipped the package's one public entry point. The row for AddEnumMemberNameBinding returned before building an argument array — green, asserting nothing. The recorded reason was false: removing the exemption made it pass as written. Verified by mutation (an InvalidOperationException in place of the guard compiles clean and now fails).
  • FormattingTests named a rule the code does not implement, on the one fixture where the two orders coincide. The expectation now comes from JsonSerializer.

Four texts that earlier fixes left behind

Worth separating out, because the pattern is mine:

  • contract-rules still carried word for word the sentence corrected in limitations — the two sibling pages had been contradicting each other since.
  • EMN0004's shipped description, written in the commit that scoped the rule to [Flags], gives a mechanism this repository's own parity tests disprove.
  • EMN0005's message, corrected once already, was still wrong in another dimension: measured both ways round, Enum.GetNames order decides which member disappears, so moving the annotation to the second member reverses it and the message named the survivor as the loser.
  • TryParseSingle's summary says it receives "a value with no comma in it"; the reorder that made a comma legal off [Flags] hands it commas.

The rest

Two more with teeth: the pre-commit hook word-split its paths on a justification false in both directions — measured, it produced 4 paths for 3 files, 3 of them naming nothing on disk. And the smoke-test fixtures inherited this repository's own analyzers, because shadowing Directory.Build.props does not shadow the separate walk for Directory.Build.targets — RS0016 appeared ten times in a fixture meant to be somebody else's project; now zero.

Then: "read on every request" (measured: once per action, not five times for five requests); "ModelBindingBehaviourTests holds all of them" (it holds two of four); a dead \| unescape behind a comment about a markdown table neither page has ever been; EMN0001 wrong about both halves of its own rationale (System.Text.Json accepts a duplicate name silently, and nothing here picks a first declaration); "a contract without [Flags] accepts no combination" (it accepts one); a five-rule analyzer that ships six; three test projects that are four; and "no test can reach AddEnumMemberNameBinding()" — repeated in six places, while EntryAssemblyScanTests does exactly that and passes.

Type of change

  • Bug fix
  • New feature
  • Breaking change to the public API
  • Refactoring
  • Analyzer / diagnostic change
  • Tests
  • Documentation
  • Build / CI / tooling

Testing

  • dotnet build -c Release — clean, warnings are errors here
  • dotnet test -c Release — 963 passed, 0 failed
  • tests/PackageSmokeTest/run.sh — run because the analyzers and the fixtures' MSBuild changed; "The published package behaves as documented."

Also run: tools/style/lint-layout.sh (nothing to report), its own test, and tools/commit-lint/lint-commit-message.sh over all 19 commit messages. The hook fix and the generic-enum fix were each verified against a reproduction before and after.

Public API

  • No change to the public surface
  • The surface changed and the baseline was updated in the same commit

Two diagnostic message strings change; no symbol does.

Documentation

  • README / docs/ updated
  • The French counterpart was updated to match
  • CHANGELOG.md and docs/for-users/CHANGELOG.fr.md both updated
  • No documentation change required

The changelog records the four a consumer meets — two diagnostic messages and two pages. The other fourteen are internal.

Assembly.GetTypes() hands such an enum over in its open form, Box`1+Colour,
where Type.IsEnum is true and ContainsGenericParameters is true as well.
FieldInfo.GetValue on any member of it throws ArgumentException out of
Enum.InternalBoxEnum, and that happens in EnumContract's constructor,
before the contract is so much as looked at.

So an enum nobody annotated, nobody registered and nobody wanted took the
whole application down at start-up, with a message naming neither the type
nor this package. Reproduced on a host declaring
public class Box<T> { public enum Colour { Red } } and calling
AddEnumMemberNameBinding() with no options at all.

The scan now passes it by, as it passes by any enum it cannot read. Naming
the closed form stays available and is pinned: it carries no generic
parameter, so AddEnum<Crate<int>.State>() registers it as any other.

NullGuardTests generated a row for AddEnumMemberNameBinding and then
returned before building an argument array, so the row asserted nothing
and reported green. The reason recorded beside it — that an IMvcBuilder
can only come from a configured service collection — was not true of what
the row needs, which is a null.

Removing the exemption made the row pass as written. The package's one
public entry point had therefore gone unguarded by any test for as long
as the list existed.

CA1062 holds a second line, and the two cover different things: the
analyzer refuses a boundary that validates nothing, this row refuses one
that validates with the wrong exception. Verified by mutation — replacing
the guard with an InvalidOperationException compiles clean and fails
here, naming the parameter and the fix.

FormattingTests.an_alias_is_written_with_the_first_declared_name asserted
the literal "first" twice and named a rule EnumContract.Format does not
implement. NamesByValue walks Enum.GetNames and keeps the first name it
meets there, which sorts by the binary value and, among members sharing
one, does not keep the order they were written in.

The name survived because its fixture cannot tell the two apart: Aliased
is written in ascending order, so declaration order and GetNames order
coincide on it and no assertion could separate them.

The expectation now comes from JsonSerializer rather than being restated,
which is the only reading that cannot go stale, and the test is named for
what it holds. FormattingParityTests already covers the shapes where the
two orders disagree — three of its seven do.

The summary opened "A value with no comma in it." That was true of the
caller it was written for, and adfd999 reversed the order without
reaching this sentence: TryParse now hands TryParseSingle the whole
trimmed value before it tests for a comma, and only splits when the
lookup misses.

Measured — instrumenting the method shows it receives the literal token
"a,b" on the non-[Flags] fixture CommaInsideAName and resolves it to
Ab (4), matching System.Text.Json; the split path could only produce 3.

The sentence therefore stated the resolution order backwards, against
the two paragraphs elsewhere in the file that establish it and the rule
it justifies. The summary's second sentence is untouched and stays true:
no C# member name can contain a comma, so the exact-spelling branch can
only fire for a token that has none.

It accepts one. EnumContract.TryParse has no [Flags] test on the parse
path at all, so "first,second" on a non-[Flags] contract resolves to
0 | 1, matching System.Text.Json, which splits before it looks at the
attribute. Refusing it would make a registered enum stricter than the
same enum left alone, which the package promises never to do.

What [Flags] decides is whether the values an application will bind are
an open set rather than the declared members alone — which is what
IsFlagsContract states in its own XML doc one file away, and what the
comment on this test now says.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Three comments said the model binder provider consults the record on
every request. IModelBinderProvider.GetBinder is called by
ModelBinderFactory only while building a binder for a (parameter, model
type), and the factory caches the result.

Measured by instrumenting Contains and issuing five requests to one
action: called once, not five times.

The atomicity argument the surrounding comments make is unaffected — it
needs the record to be filled before any binder is built, which is still
after AddEnumMemberNameBinding has returned — and the concurrent
dictionary is still the right choice for the same reason. Only the
frequency was wrong.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
The binder's remark listed four behaviours it reproduces from
SimpleTypeModelBinder — the repeated key, the blank value, the message a
failure earns, and the refusal to bind an undefined value — and closed
"ModelBindingBehaviourTests holds all of them".

That suite is five tests and holds two of the four. The blank value on a
required and a nullable parameter is EmptyValueTests; the undefined-value
refusal is ParityWithSystemTextJsonTests, control included. A reader sent
to ModelBindingBehaviourTests to check either found a file that does not
mention them.

The remark now names the three suites and what each holds.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
The comment said the pattern sits "inside a JSON snippet in a markdown
table, so backslashes are doubled and pipes are escaped for the table".
Both pages carry it in a fenced json block, and the pipes of
(read|write|delete) are written bare — checked in both languages.

So the \| replacement the sentence justified could not fire on any input
the regex admits: the capture group stops at the first quote, and no
pattern the transformer emits contains \|. Removing it leaves the two
tests green.

A dead branch behind a false explanation is worse than either alone: the
explanation is what stops a reader from noticing the branch.

The page said "the binder picks the first declaration, and the second
member becomes unreachable — silently, and in declaration order".
Nothing is picked and nothing is silent: EnumContract's constructor
collects Problem.DuplicateName when byContractName.TryAdd fails and then
throws EnumContractException for the whole type, so the enum never binds
at all. Measured — EnumContract.For on a duplicate-name enum throws.

The paragraph now says what happens: the shape is refused, at build time
by this rule and at start-up by the exception. The claim about
System.Text.Json in the same section is a separate defect, corrected in
the commit that follows.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
It accepts it. Measured on { ["same"] First = 0, ["same"] Second = 1 }
with JsonStringEnumConverter<T>(null, false): the converter builds,
reading "same" gives First, and writing either member gives "same" —
the enum round-trips one value and loses the other with nothing said.

The only enum-identifier throw in the serializer is for a null, empty or
whitespace-padded name, and a comma on a [Flags] enum. Duplicates are not
among them.

So this is one of the few places the package is deliberately stricter
than the serializer, which is a stronger reason for the rule than the one
the page gave — and the page said the opposite of the fact.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Two halves, both false, and the second is the one that mattered: the
sentence said the undefined-combination 400 is "ASP.NET Core's rather
than this package's". It is this package's own. Its binder is registered
ahead of the provider ASP.NET Core uses for enums, so EnumTypeModelBinder
never sees the value — the check is reproduced here deliberately.

The first half called it "the one input the body accepts and no other
channel does". There are at least three: this one, the [Flags] shape the
limitations page describes, and a name carrying a character a route or a
header cannot transport.

limitations.en.md was corrected for both a3637ee ago; this page was not,
so the two sibling pages have been contradicting each other since. Fixed
in both languages.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
The shipped description read "System.Text.Json refuses a comma inside a
declared name on a [Flags] enum, where the whole name is never looked up
before the value is split".

The subordinate clause is false, and this repository measures the
opposite: EnumContract.TryParse tries the whole trimmed value as one name
before splitting, with no [Flags] carve-out, and ReadParityTests holds
that order against the serializer token by token. I wrote the clause in
the commit that scoped this rule to [Flags], and it was wrong there.

It is also not the reason. The serializer validates declared names when
it builds the converter and throws for a comma on a [Flags] enum — "Flags
enums must additionally not contain commas" — so the enum cannot be
serialized at all. That is what the rule page and Problem.CommaInFlagsName
both say, and now what the description says.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Both messages said the declared name is matched first, so the value
resolves to the annotated member and the unannotated one is left over.
That is true of one declaration order and false of the other.

Measured against the serializer, both ways round:
  { ["Blue"] Red = 0, Blue = 1 }  ->  "Blue" reads Red (0)
  { Blue = 0, ["Blue"] Red = 1 }  ->  "Blue" reads Blue (0)

What decides is Enum.GetNames order: the first member met claims the
spelling, whether its name is the declared one or its own C# name. So
moving the annotation to the second member reverses which member
disappears, and the message named the survivor as the loser.

The messages now say that both answer to the spelling and that GetNames
order decides, without asserting which. A theory holds both orders
against JsonSerializer. The rule pages are untouched: their example
declares the annotated member first, where the old wording was right.

One assertion moves with it — the exception test pinned the word
"casing", which the message no longer uses; it now asks for the word
that carries the meaning.

The NoWarn justification for RS2008 reads "ceremony for a five-rule
analyzer". SupportedDiagnostics exposes six descriptors, EMN0001 through
EMN0006, and the documentation suite holds a page for each.

The count is the whole weight of the argument for skipping release
tracking, so it should be the real one.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
TestSources() enumerates every *.cs under tests/ recursively, and there
are four projects there — Tests, OpenApi.Tests, Analyzers.Tests and
Documentation.Tests — all four carrying an NFluent reference. The ADR the
remark cites repeated the count in both languages.

Named for the directory rather than for a number, since that is what the
code does and what stays true the next time a project is added.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
The comment justified a word split with "none of which can contain a
space, since the repository has no such file and git would quote it if it
did". Both halves are wrong, and they fail in opposite directions.

Measured on a repository holding 'My Enum.cs', 'Café.cs' and 'Plain.cs':

  git diff --cached --name-only  ->  My Enum.cs
                                     "Caf\303\251.cs"

  old logic  ->  4 paths for 3 files: ["Caf\303\251.cs"] NO, [My] NO,
                 [Enum.cs] NO, [Plain.cs] yes
  new logic  ->  3 paths, all three existing

git prints a spaced path unquoted, so the split tore it in two, and it
prints a non-ASCII one quoted and escaped, which the split kept whole and
which names nothing on disk. Either way the checker was handed something
that is not the file.

core.quotePath=false stops the escaping and reading a line at a time into
"$@" stops the tearing, which is also what removes the SC2086 suppression
rather than re-justifying it. A path containing a newline is still beyond
this loop, and the comment says so instead of claiming otherwise.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
tests/PackageSmokeTest/Directory.Build.props is empty and load-bearing:
without it the fixtures inherit the repository's own defaults and stop
resembling the thing they exist to imitate. Its comment closed "whatever
these fixtures need, they declare themselves", and that was not true.

MSBuild walks up for Directory.Build.props and again, independently, for
Directory.Build.targets. Only the props file was shadowed, so the second
walk reached the repository's own targets and added
Microsoft.CodeAnalysis.PublicApiAnalyzers to every fixture under it.
Measured: RS0016 appears ten times in InvalidContract's build log.

An empty Directory.Build.targets beside the props closes the second walk.
After it, RS0016 is gone from that log and the smoke test still reports
the published package behaves as documented.

The fix is the file rather than the sentence: a fixture imitating
somebody else's project consuming us from nuget.org should not be
carrying our analyzers.

run.sh, Consumer/Program.cs, both smoke-test READMEs and both changelogs
all said AddEnumMemberNameBinding() with no options is a path no test in
this repository can reach, because Assembly.GetEntryAssembly() under a
test host is testhost.dll.

xUnit v3 generates the entry point into the test assembly itself, so
GetEntryAssembly() there is the test assembly. EntryAssemblyScanTests
.configuring_nothing_scans_the_entry_assembly calls the zero-option form
and asserts that Delivery, an enum declared in that assembly and reached
by no endpoint, was scanned. It passes.

That mattered beyond the sentence: it was the stated reason the fixtures
are applications rather than tests, so the whole section rested on it.
The reason that holds is the package — a PackageReference to the packed
.nupkg, the analyzers inside it, the MSBuild assets and a real Kestrel,
none of which a ProjectReference from a test project touches. Every one
of the six now says that instead.

The other fourteen are internal — comments, test names, a shell hook, an
MSBuild file — and the changelog documents the packages. These four a
consumer meets: two diagnostic messages, and two pages they read.
