Generic co-/contravariance had no test coverage at all: no out/in

The Documentation namespace (XmlDocumentationProvider, IdStringProvider,

These tests pin ID-string generation and FindEntity round-trips for the
intricate encodings (nested generic types, `0/``0 type-parameter
references, ref/out @ suffixes, pointer and jagged/multi-dimensional

Doc-comment folds were created with defaultCollapsed hardcoded to true,
so /// blocks always started collapsed. The new Display option is
bridged into DecompilerSettings like the other expand flags and drives
the fold's default state.
Detecting the last line of a doc-comment block requires sibling
navigation between trivia nodes, so trivia now carry parent, sibling
list, and index state. That state lives on the Trivia subclass to keep
AstNode's size unchanged, and the tree API treats trivia as a separate
navigation space: Next/PrevSibling and Remove work within the owning
list, Slot is null, ReplaceWith throws instead of aliasing the trivia
index into the parent's child slots, GetNextNode/GetPrevNode stop at
the list boundary, Clone and CopyAnnotationsFrom deep-copy and reparent
trivia, and CheckInvariant validates the trivia lists.

AvaloniaEdit 12's TextView.InvalidateLayer only invalidates the TextView's
measure and never re-renders the per-layer child visuals, so the caret layer
repaints only on caret blinks (focused editor) or scroll changes. During
debug-step navigation focus stays in the Debug Steps panel, so the one scroll
repaint painted an early animation frame and nothing ever erased it: the frame
stayed composited as a caret-sized black line fixed in the viewport. The
adorner now invalidates the layer visuals itself on start, every animation
frame, and dismissal, and keeps its rectangles in document coordinates so the
deferred centering scroll cannot strand the highlight at a stale viewport
position.

Browsing an embedded .baml resource runs it through BamlReader.ReadDocument,
whose post-parse defer pass walks the record list with NavigateTree. That walk
recursed on every nested StaticResourceStart/KeyElementStart record with no
depth cap and indexed the record list with no bound. A crafted resource could
therefore drive recursion into a StackOverflowException -- which is uncatchable
and kills the process despite the resource node's try/catch -- or walk the index
off the end of the list. Both are reachable from ordinary resource browsing, no
project export required.
Consolidate the duplicated defer walk into one bounded, depth-capped helper that
fails with a catchable InvalidDataException, so the existing UI catch turns a
malformed resource into a "BAML decompilation failed" message instead of a crash.
Reject an oversized signature length before it drives a multi-gigabyte allocation
(it is read before the MSBAML check), and resolve defer offsets with TryGetValue
so a bogus offset reports malformed data rather than escaping as a bare
KeyNotFoundException.

Avalonia apps pack every resource (compiled XAML, image/SVG assets, ...)
behind a single !AvaloniaResources manifest blob, which until now fell
through to the generic resource node and could not be browsed. Parse the
blob's index and expose each packed file as its own entry, mirroring how
.resources files are unpacked, so individual files can be viewed and
saved. The reader is bounds-checked against crafted offsets/sizes in the
same defensive spirit as the recent .rsrc parsing guards.

OnSelectionChanged deferred its Steps = null via Dispatcher.Post. The selection
message is raised synchronously on the UI thread right as the new selection's
decompile is kicked off (AssemblyTreeModel.RaiseSelectionChanged), so a deferred
clear can land on a later dispatcher cycle than the decompile's StepperUpdated
populate post and wipe the freshly recorded steps -- leaving the pane empty
until the next decompile (the intermittent CI timeout in the debug-step UI
tests, where both C# and ILAst share this handler). Clear synchronously so the
blank is pinned to the selection moment, strictly before that selection's
decompile can finish and post its steps.

The replay tests only checked DebugStepHighlight was non-null, which the
ancestor fallback satisfies unconditionally -- a regression widening every
highlight to the enclosing method would have passed. Assert instead that the
range lies in bounds, does not span the whole document, and (unless it is a
zero-length removal caret) covers non-whitespace rendered code.

When the step limit falls on a C# transform step, Stepper.Step records the node
as LimitReachedStep but throws before TransformContext can attach the node's
highlight candidates, so the 'show state before' view had only the bare modified
node to resolve against -- and nothing if that node renders no text of its own.
The IL path already records its candidates before the throw; mirror that on the
C# side by attaching the candidates to the limit-reached node in the catch, then
re-throwing so the pipeline still halts.

NodeLookup.AddNode indexed every annotation of every rendered node by reference
identity, but the debug-step highlighter only ever looks up the DebugStepMarker;
the rest were dead keys, and a shared annotation (ResolveResult and friends,
copied across nodes) would resolve to whichever node rendered last. Make
DebugStepMarker public and bridge only it -- behaviour-preserving for resolution
while dropping the per-annotation dictionary churn on every rendered node.

The debug-step node bracket (MarkNodeStart/try/finally/MarkNodeEnd) was copied
into every hand-written WriteTo override and re-emitted by the T4 generator, so
a newly added instruction could silently omit it and lose step highlighting with
no compile error or test failure. Seal WriteTo on ILInstruction to apply the
bracket once and delegate to a new abstract WriteToCore; move every override
(hand-written and generated) to WriteToCore without the wrapper. Rendered output
is unchanged -- the marks are no-ops unless the output tracks nodes.

The step tree can run to hundreds of entries per decompile, so finding a
specific mutation means scrolling. Add a filter box in the pane's top-right
corner: a row survives when its description -- or any descendant's -- contains
the text (case-insensitive), keeping the path to every match, and the tree
auto-expands while filtering so matches nested under transform groups stay
visible. Implemented as an item-visibility converter over the existing TreeView
rather than switching to SharpTreeView, which would change the Steps contract
and rewrite the pane's tests for no functional gain here.

A step that removes a node has nothing left to highlight in the resulting text,
so range resolution fell back to the enclosing block and flooded it. Record the
changed node's surviving neighbours as seam anchors (captured before the
mutation) and split a step's candidates into precise / seam / ancestor tiers:
when neither the node nor its marker resolves, place a zero-length caret at the
gap -- the successor's start, else the predecessor's end -- and only fall back
to the enclosing block when no neighbour survives. A zero-length highlight is
rendered as a caret (positioned, pulsed, centered) with no background mark.

NodeLookup population runs per AST node (and per annotation) on every on-screen
C# decompile, but the debug-step highlighter only consumes it when a step limit
is set. Gate the node-tracking token writer on StepLimit so the common Release
path skips the bookkeeping; AvaloniaEditTextOutput is an ISmartTextOutput, so it
still gets full syntax highlighting via the existing branch.

The debug-step highlight centred with a logical (line-number * line-height)
calculation posted at default dispatcher priority. That ignores collapsed
foldings above the target, races the layout of a just-applied document
(silently no-oping when the viewport is not yet measured), and does not recheck
the document, so a newer decompile could scroll the wrong content. The symptom
was unreliable centring, most visible in the ILAst view whose nested block
output is fold-dense and larger.
Route the highlight through the existing CenterLineInView helper that bookmark
navigation already uses: it centres via GetVisualTopByDocumentLine (fold-aware),
runs at Background priority so the document finishes measuring first, and
rechecks the document identity.

MarkNodeStart and BeginSpan captured builder.Length to anchor a node range
or highlight span, but indentation is written lazily on the first token of a
line. A node or span opened at the start of an indented line therefore
recorded its start before the leading tabs, so the debug-step highlight (and
any span) extended back across the indentation to column 0.
Flush the pending indent in both before capturing the offset, matching the
WPF AvalonEditTextOutput.BeginSpan the Avalonia port derived from. The emitted
text is unchanged -- the indent is written either way, in the same place; only
the recorded start moves to the first real character.

The Debug Steps "show state before/after" replay re-decompiles the active
tab; the headless UI tests inferred completion by polling IsDecompiling +
Text, which can return on stale state or hit the 60s wait deadline when
that shared signal races under CI load (the observed intermittent CI
timeout). RestartDecompileWithStepLimit now returns the decompile Task so
the replay completion can be awaited deterministically; the tests await it
instead of polling. The production IsDecompiling reset is unchanged -- the
last decompile's finally always resets it; the race was only in the test's
completion inference.

The C# debug-steps view highlights and centers the exact AST node a
transform changed; the ILAst view already had the step tree and
replay-at-step but produced no highlight. Bring it to parity.
IL rendering has no token-writer seam like the C# output visitor, so
per-instruction text spans are recorded by bracketing
ILInstruction.WriteTo via a new INodeTrackingOutput. The dominant
inst.ReplaceWith(newInst) transform pattern detaches the instruction
passed to Step, so ILTransformContext gains EndStep to record the
produced instruction; Stepper additionally records the position's
ancestor chain as fallback candidates before the step-limit throw, so
the "show state before" view -- which halts at the selected step --
still resolves to a surviving ancestor (ultimately the ILFunction).
The highlight-range resolver is shared with the C# language.

ILSpy resolves an assembly's references against the target framework it
detects from the TargetFrameworkAttribute. When that attribute is missing,
wrong, or the user wants to force a different framework, there was no way to
hint the correct one, so references could resolve against the wrong runtime
pack or framework directory.
A LoadedAssembly can now carry a TargetFrameworkIdOverride that short-circuits
detection (it is the single value every LoadedAssembly-based resolution path
reads), is persisted in the assembly-list XML, and is carried across a reload
so a runtime change re-resolves against the new framework. The "Set Target
Framework" context-menu entry edits it through a dialog with a free-form text
box and an always-visible list of common monikers to pick from (the app forces
overlay popups, so a dropdown would be clamped inside the small dialog); input
is validated and converted from the short TFM users know (net48) to the long
FrameworkName form the resolver consumes (.NETFramework,Version=v4.8) via
NuGet. The direct DetectTargetFrameworkId callers in the decompiler core
(project export, language version) intentionally keep reading the real
attribute; only reference resolution is overridden.
Resurrects a 2020 prototype (branch tfmoverride) re-implemented against the
current ILSpyX/Avalonia code, whose surrounding structures no longer matched.

Two costs on the gutter's hot path:
The margin rebuilt its document-line -> glyph map on every Render, resolving
each bookmark by scanning the document's reference segments. A scroll, a hover,
or the 600 ms post-navigation pulse repaints many times a second, so this
rescanned the references per bookmark per frame. Compute the map once and reuse
it, clearing the cache only when the document or the bookmark set changes (the
model's DebugInfo/References are set before the text, so the document-change
hook sees them current).
CanToggleBookmarkAtLine, called for every gutter line the pointer moves over,
built a full bookmark including a captured editor view state -- a foldings
snapshot, scroll offsets, and a tree-path walk -- only to test it for null. It
now does an anchor-only check; the view state is captured only when a bookmark
is actually created.

After scrolling to a navigated bookmark, the deferred apply restored the
caret/scroll captured when the bookmark was created, which overwrote the
centering that had just been computed for the resolved line. A bookmark
re-anchors by token / IL offset, so a decompiler-setting change that reflows
the C# moves it to a different line than the one saved in its view state; the
stale offset then scrolled that line back off-screen, leaving only the
highlight playing where it could not be seen.
Restore just the captured foldings now -- and before centering, since
collapsing or expanding shifts where lines sit -- and let the centered,
re-resolved line be the final caret and scroll position.
