Description

Implements compliance changes to align with updated .github/standards governing test traceability levels and review scope boundaries:

  • System requirements → link ONLY to IntegrationTest_* tests
  • Subsystem requirements → link ONLY to subsystem-level tests (Cli_*, Sarif_*, SelfTest_*, Utilities_*)
  • Unit requirements → link ONLY to unit-level tests (ClassName_Method_* pattern)
  • Subsystem reviews → exclude source code files (hierarchical scope principle)
  • Unit reviews → include source code files
  • needs-review → should include source code (remove !src/**/*.cs exclusion)

A full hierarchy audit has been performed confirming that all system, subsystem, and unit requirements link exclusively to their dedicated test suites and that all children: fields reference the correct requirement level.

Type of Change

  • Bug fix (non-breaking change which fixes an issue)
  • Code quality improvement

Changes

Test Files

  • SelfTestTests.cs: Added SelfTest_ResultsFile_WritesTrxFile and SelfTest_ResultsFile_WritesJUnitFile subsystem-level tests for validation result file output
  • SelfTestTests.cs: Added SelfTest_EnforceFlag_ReturnsNonZeroOnIssues subsystem test that runs --enforce with a SARIF file containing issues and asserts the non-zero exit code and error message
  • SarifTests.cs: Added Sarif_Report_ContainsResultCount, Sarif_Report_ContainsLocationInfo, and Sarif_Report_UsesCustomHeading subsystem-level tests
  • SarifTests.cs: Added Sarif_InvalidSarifFile_ShowsFormatError subsystem test that feeds malformed SARIF (invalid JSON) and asserts the tool reports a format error
  • SarifTests.cs: Added Sarif_GenerateReport_FormatsMultipleResultsWithLineBreaks subsystem test that generates a report from a multi-result SARIF file and asserts proper markdown line-break separation between results

Test Data

  • TestData/invalid.sarif: Malformed JSON file used to test SARIF format validation error handling
  • TestData/multi-result.sarif: SARIF file with two results used to test multi-result report formatting

Requirements YAML Files

  • cli/cli.yaml: Removed unit test links (Context_Create_VersionFlag_SetsVersionTrue, Context_Create_HelpFlag_SetsHelpTrue) from subsystem requirements; removed SarifMark_Enforcement integration test from SarifMark-Cli-Enforce
  • sarif/sarif.yaml: Replaced all SarifResults_* unit test references with appropriate Sarif_* subsystem tests; updated SarifMark-Sarif-Validation to link to both Sarif_NonExistentSarifFile_ShowsError and the new Sarif_InvalidSarifFile_ShowsFormatError; updated SarifMark-Sarif-Locations to link to Sarif_Report_ContainsLocationInfo
  • sarif/report.yaml: Replaced unit tests and stale integration test references with new Sarif_* subsystem tests; updated SarifMark-Report-LineBreaks to link to Sarif_GenerateReport_FormatsMultipleResultsWithLineBreaks
  • self-test/self-test.yaml: Replaced Validation_Run_* unit tests and Cli_EnforceFlagWithIssues_ReturnsError/SarifMark_Enforcement with appropriate SelfTest_* subsystem tests; updated SarifMark-Enforce-Mode and SarifMark-Enforce-ExitCode to link to SelfTest_EnforceFlag_ReturnsNonZeroOnIssues

ReviewMark Configuration

  • .reviewmark.yaml:
    • Removed !src/**/*.cs exclusion from needs-review so source code is included
    • Added SarifMark-Purpose review (new top-level review)
    • Added source code file paths to all unit-level reviews
    • Updated review titles to match standard patterns (Review that X Implementation is Correct)
    • Restructured Architecture/Design reviews per standards

Pre-Submission Checklist

Build and Test

  • Code builds successfully: dotnet build --configuration Release
  • All unit tests pass: dotnet test --configuration Release
  • Self-validation tests pass:
    dotnet run --project src/DemaConsulting.SarifMark --configuration Release --framework net10.0
    --no-build -- --validate
  • Code produces zero warnings

Code Quality

  • Code formatting is correct: dotnet format --verify-no-changes
  • New code has appropriate XML documentation comments
  • Static analyzer warnings have been addressed

Quality Checks

  • All linters pass: ./lint.sh (Unix/macOS) or cmd /c lint.bat / ./lint.bat (Windows)

Testing

  • Added unit tests for new functionality
  • Updated existing tests if behavior changed
  • All tests follow the AAA (Arrange, Act, Assert) pattern
  • Test coverage is maintained or improved

Documentation

  • Updated README.md (if applicable)
  • Updated ARCHITECTURE.md (if applicable)
  • Added code examples for new features (if applicable)
  • Updated requirements.yaml (if applicable)

Additional Notes

The code review tool flagged a comment about .github/standards/csharp-testing.md but this file was not modified in this PR — this is a false positive from the review tool examining pre-existing content.

A full automated audit of all 12 requirement YAML files confirmed zero hierarchy violations: system requirements link only to IntegrationTest_* tests, subsystem requirements link only to their dedicated suite prefixes (Cli_*, Sarif_*, SelfTest_*, Utilities_*), and unit requirements link only to their class-level test prefixes.

Remember that System/Subsystem/Unit requirements MUST only link to their own dedicated test suites - so implement the new tests in the correct location following the hierarchy rules of the reqstream-users standard.

@copilot Have you confirmed that all System requirements test-links only to the System dedicated test-suite (IntegrationTests) and 'children' requirements-links only to the subsystem or top-level unit requirements used to satisfy the system requirement.

Have you confirmed that all Subsystem requirements test-links only to the Subsystems dedicated test-suites and 'children' requirements-links only to the unit requirements used to satisfy the subsystem requirement.

Have you confirmed that all Unit requirements test-links only to the Units dedicated test-suites.

Applied all 4 review thread changes in commit 8024f8b:

  • SarifMark-Enforce-Mode / SarifMark-Enforce-ExitCode — Added SelfTest_EnforceFlag_ReturnsNonZeroOnIssues test that runs --enforce with sample.sarif (which has issues) and asserts exit code 1 + "Issues found in SARIF file" message. Both requirements now link to this test instead of SelfTest_ValidateFlag_RunsSelfValidation.

  • SarifMark-Sarif-Validation — Added Sarif_InvalidSarifFile_ShowsFormatError test that feeds invalid.sarif (malformed JSON) to the tool and asserts exit code 1 + error message. The requirement now links to both this test and Sarif_NonExistentSarifFile_ShowsError.

  • SarifMark-Sarif-Locations — Updated to link to Sarif_Report_ContainsLocationInfo (already existed from previous commit) instead of Sarif_ValidSarifFile_ProcessesSuccessfully.

  • SarifMark-Report-LineBreaks — Added Sarif_GenerateReport_FormatsMultipleResultsWithLineBreaks test with a new multi-result.sarif test data file (2 results). The test asserts a 2-issue count and that results appear on separate lines with markdown hard line breaks ( \n between results). The requirement now links to this test instead of Sarif_GenerateReport_CreatesReportFile.

@copilot Have you confirmed that all System requirements test-links only to the System dedicated test-suite (IntegrationTests) and 'children' requirements-links only to the subsystem or top-level unit...

Yes, confirmed — full audit across all 12 requirement files shows no violations:

System requirements (sarifmark.yaml) — all 9 test-links use only IntegrationTest_* prefixes. No children fields (system requirements are proved directly by integration tests).

Subsystem requirements — all test-links use only their dedicated suite prefixes:

  • cli/cli.yaml → only Cli_*
  • sarif/sarif.yaml → only Sarif_*
  • sarif/report.yaml → only Sarif_*
  • self-test/self-test.yaml → only SelfTest_*
  • utilities/utilities.yaml → only Utilities_*

All children: fields in subsystem requirements reference unit requirement IDs (SarifMark-Context-*, SarifMark-SarifResults-*, SarifMark-Validation-*, SarifMark-PathHelpers-*) ✓

Unit requirements — all test-links use only their class-level suite prefixes:

  • program.yaml → only Program_Main_*
  • cli/context.yaml → only Context_*
  • sarif/sarif-results.yaml → only SarifResults_*
  • sarif/sarif-result.yaml → only SarifResults_*
  • self-test/validation.yaml → only Validation_Run_*
  • utilities/path-helpers.yaml → only PathHelpers_*

No changes were needed — the hierarchy is already correct across all files in the PR.
