Pull Request

Description

Ran all agents (repo-consistency, code-quality, requirements, technical-writer) and applied identified improvements ahead of release. Re-ran the repo-consistency agent against the last 20 merged PRs from TemplateDotNetTool (#16#37) and propagated all applicable improvements including workflow file reorganization.

Formatting & config:

  • Fixed trailing whitespace in Validation.cs and TraceMatrixExportTests.cs
  • Normalized CRLF→LF in Program.cs
  • Added end_of_line = lf to .editorconfig
  • Aligned .markdownlint-cli2.jsonc ignore patterns with template (node_modules, **/AGENT_REPORT_*.md)
  • Added MD025: false to .markdownlint-cli2.jsonc to allow multiple top-level headings in compiled documents

Requirements in requirements.yaml:

  • VAL-002: Enforcement mode (--enforce) — 5 tests existed but requirement was undocumented
  • RPT-006: Justifications markdown export — 3 tests
  • RPT-007: Configurable justifications header depth — 1 test
  • Added 28-line comment block documenting the testing strategy and all source filter prefixes (from template PR [Feature]: NuGet Package Contents #35)
  • Fixed platform source filters: windows-latest@windows@, ubuntu-latest@ubuntu@ to match documented convention
  • Added tags to all 38 requirements (cli, requirements, testing, reporting, logging, validation, platform)

Architecture docs (ARCHITECTURE.md):

  • Added Tags property to Requirement class documentation
  • Added FilterTags property to Context class documentation
  • Added section 7 (Tag Filtering) to Requirements Processing Flow
  • Updated Program Execution Flow to include --justifications and --filter

User guide restructuring (docs/guide/guide.md):

  • Removed root title heading (# ReqStream User Guide) — title is populated from title.txt during PDF compilation
  • Removed markdown Table of Contents — Pandoc generates it automatically via table-of-contents: true
  • Added ## Purpose and ## Scope subsections to the Introduction section
  • Promoted all headings by one level so critical sections (Introduction, Prerequisites, Installation, Requirements File Format, Command-Line Interface, Exporting, Requirements Enforcement, FAQ) are root-level # headings

Template consistency (from TemplateDotNetTool PRs #16#37):

  • AGENTS.md: Added "Test Source Filters" section with all source filter prefixes, "Markdown Link Style" section, "Agent Report Files" section, CHANGELOG.md note, and updated .markdownlint.json.markdownlint-cli2.jsonc references
  • .config/dotnet-tools.json: Bumped buildmark 0.2.0 → 0.3.0
  • .gitignore: Added versionmark captures, expanded generated docs patterns, test result patterns
  • CONTRIBUTING.md: Separated "Running Tests" into "Unit Tests" and "Self-Validation Tests" subsections
  • PR template: Changed "All tests pass" → "All unit tests pass", added self-validation checklist item, simplified yamllint command to yamllint .
  • Test .csproj: Reorganized with section comments (Build Configuration, Test Framework Dependencies, Code Analysis Dependencies, Project References), added PrivateAssets to coverlet.collector

Workflow reorganization (build.yaml, build_on_push.yaml, release.yaml):

  • build.yaml: Added descriptive job-level comments for all 5 jobs (quality-checks, build, codeql, integration-test, build-docs)
  • build-docs job: Reorganized into 7 logical phases with section comments (=== CHECKOUT AND DOWNLOAD ARTIFACTS ===, === INSTALL DEPENDENCIES ===, === CAPTURE TOOL VERSIONS ===, === GENERATE MARKDOWN REPORTS ===, === GENERATE HTML DOCUMENTS WITH PANDOC ===, === GENERATE PDF DOCUMENTS WITH WEASYPRINT ===, === UPLOAD ARTIFACTS ===), each with downstream project insertion notes
  • All markdown report generation grouped before HTML generation, before PDF generation (no more interleaving)
  • Added version/date metadata to all Pandoc steps (--metadata version=... --metadata date=...)
  • Moved tool version capture before report generation
  • Added Display Build Notes Report step
  • Consistent step naming (Checkout, Restore Tools, Restore Dependencies, Create Dotnet Tool) and shell/formatting conventions
  • build_on_push.yaml: Added inline comments on trigger events matching template style
  • release.yaml: Added job-level comments for both build and release jobs

Type of Change

  • Bug fix (non-breaking change which fixes an issue)
  • New feature (non-breaking change which adds functionality)
  • Breaking change (fix or feature that would cause existing functionality to not work as expected)
  • Documentation update
  • Code quality improvement

  • Static analyzer warnings have been addressed

Quality Checks

Please run the following checks before submitting:

  • Spell checker passes: cspell "**/*.{md,cs}"
  • Markdown linter passes: markdownlint "**/*.md"

@copilot An additional release-cleanup task is to update the heading-structure of the user guide. The guide has all its headings under one Title-like root heading. This isn't needed for documents compiled to PDF as the title is populated from title.txt. Additionally Pandoc automatically creates a Table of Contents so the guide doesn't need its own navigation table in Markdown, and should start with an Introduction section containing a Purpose and Scope, and then the critical sections of the document should also be root-level markdown sections.

Copilot AI requested a review from Malcolmnixon February 20, 2026 14:03
- Remove root title heading (title comes from title.txt for PDF)
- Remove Table of Contents section (auto-generated by Pandoc)
- Add Purpose and Scope subsections to Introduction
- Promote all heading levels by one (## → #, ### → ##, etc.)
- Disable MD025 markdownlint rule to allow multiple top-level headings

The document now has multiple top-level headings (Introduction,
Prerequisites, Installation, etc.) since the title is populated
from title.txt when compiled to PDF rather than being in the
markdown file itself.

  • Added ## Purpose and ## Scope subsections at the start of the Introduction

@copilot Hey, I asked you to run the repo-consistency agent to review the last 20 PRs from the template repository and bring over the relevant improvements; however I'm clearly seeing the workflow files (especially build.yaml) are missing significant improvements performed on the template - improvements to do with comments, grouping, and reorganizing of steps. Please go back and review the PRs on https://github.com/demaconsulting/TemplateDotNetTool and apply the improvements to this repo.

…ts, logical phases, metadata
