One member the decompiler could not handle aborted the whole export, so a
single unsupported method in a large assembly left the user with nothing: no
sources, no .csproj, no way around it. Recovering silently would trade that
for a worse outcome - broken output nobody knows is broken - so every failure
is recorded, written where the content would have gone, and pointed at the
issue tracker.
The recovery has to hold for anything the export touches, not just method
bodies: a file that cannot be created, a resource that cannot be decoded, an
output visitor that throws mid-type. Each of those costs its own unit and
nothing else, and the units behind a failure are still produced - dropping
them would make the export look complete when it is not.
Consumers that relied on the exception keep their failure signal: ilspycmd
exits non-zero and lists the failures, the PowerShell cmdlets raise an error
record per failure, and the round-trip suite asserts the export reported none
- otherwise a crash on a method its own tests never call would ship green.

Decompiler.Tests targeted net11.0-windows only because
Microsoft.DiaSymReader.Native is Win-only and Tester.cs hardcoded ilasm.exe
/ ildasm.exe filenames. Both are narrow problems: gate the Native package
to Windows, replace the ".exe" suffix with an OS-aware helper, and drop
the -windows TFM. The Microsoft.NETCore.IL{,D}Asm metapackages' RID graph
already ships ilasm/ildasm for linux + osx via per-RID runtime sub-packages
when RuntimeIdentifier resolves dynamically, so the tool just lands in the
test output dir with the right suffix on every host.
Windows-only test fixtures (RoundtripAssembly + the RunWithTestRunner,
SignAssembly, FindMSBuild call sites) gate via Assert.Ignore +
[Platform("Win")] so they skip on non-Windows instead of failing. CA1416
joins NoWarn -- the analyzer can't see the runtime guards, and the test
inputs (Console.CapsLock, Registry access) are decompilation targets, not
infrastructure.
BuildTools/pre-commit learns to find dotnet-format on non-Windows (XDG
basedir + no .exe suffix) so the hook can run wherever the build now does.

- Use custom test runner for correctness tests.
- Use .NET 6.0 framework for all Roslyn compiler tests.
- Disabled tests involving new string interpolation patterns.
