+# SourceLink step-into verification
+
+Fixtures for [`sourcelink-stepinto.yaml`](../workflows/sourcelink-stepinto.yaml),
+which proves the *debugger* half of SourceLink end-to-end: that pressing **F11**
+in a consumer steps into the library's **real source** (resolved via the
+SourceLink map in the PDB), not a decompiled placeholder.
+
+This complements [`sourcelink.yaml`](../workflows/sourcelink.yaml), which proves
+every document in the PDB resolves to real GitHub content via
+`dotnet sourcelink test`. Together they cover the full chain F11 depends on:
+SourceLink map in the PDB → source-file resolution → GitHub raw-URL fetch.
+
+## How it works
+
+1. Build [`consumer/`](consumer/) with `-c Debug -p:ContinuousIntegrationBuild=true`.
+   Its `ProjectReference` compiles the library with the **same SourceLink map a
+   released package ships** (deterministic `/_/…` source roots that map to GitHub
+   raw URLs), and Debug/non-optimized codegen so the step-into target isn't
+   reordered away.
+2. Run [`verify_stepinto.py`](verify_stepinto.py) — it drives
+   [netcoredbg](https://github.com/Samsung/netcoredbg) over its MI interface to
+   break in the consumer, step into `Report`'s constructor, and assert the
+   resulting frame is the library's SourceLink-mapped source file with symbols
+   loaded. If SourceLink or the sequence points were broken the step would land
+   with no source and the script exits non-zero.
+
+## Why a ProjectReference, not the packed NuGet
+
+netcoredbg is the only CI-scriptable .NET debugger, and it does **not** reliably
+pair a *package*-sourced assembly with its symbol-package (`.snupkg`) PDB — it
+reports `symbols-loaded=0` and cannot step into it (verified during development).
+A `ProjectReference` built with `ContinuousIntegrationBuild=true` produces a
+**byte-identical SourceLink PDB**, so the SourceLink map under test is the same
+one that ships; only the delivery path differs. The packed-package symbol/URL
+resolution is covered by `sourcelink.yaml`.
+
+## Files
+
+- `consumer/StepIntoConsumer.csproj` / `Program.cs` — the fixture consumer. The
+  break line is marked `STEP_INTO_TARGET`.
+- `Directory.Build.props` / `.targets` — empty isolation stubs so the consumer
+  does **not** inherit the repo's analyzers / BannedSymbols / multi-TFM policy.
+- `verify_stepinto.py` — the debugger driver (exit 0 = step-into resolved real
+  source).
+
+## Scope
+
+Scheduled + manual, not a PR gate — debugger automation is heavier and slightly
+less deterministic than a unit test, and SourceLink's raw URLs resolve only
+against a pushed commit.

+Sets a breakpoint in the consumer, runs to it, issues a step-into, and inspects
