Description

Comprehensive documentation review revealed and fixed critical requirements traceability issue plus alignment inconsistencies in contributor documentation.

Changes:

  • requirements.yaml: Restored platform/runtime-specific test source filters with simplified patterns (windows@, ubuntu@, dotnet8.x@, dotnet9.x@, dotnet10.x@) that prove cross-platform compatibility. These patterns match ANY test execution from the respective OS or runtime, not overly specific combinations. Added inline comments explaining why filtering is necessary to prevent future removal.

  • CONTRIBUTING.md & PR template: Standardized linting commands to match CI enforcement exactly (npx markdownlint-cli2, npx cspell, yamllint .)

  • docs/tracematrix/introduction.md: Documented dual test source requirement (unit/integration tests + validation tests) for complete traceability

Context:

Platform-specific test filters were previously removed, breaking the proof that requirements are satisfied across Windows/Linux and .NET 8/9/10. These filters are intentional design to validate cross-platform compatibility, using simple patterns that accept any test from the target environment.

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

Perhaps the issues I reported are due to you running unnecessarily for 40+ minutes and blowing your LLM context window.

- Use "windows@" instead of "windows-latest@" or "integration-test-windows-latest-dotnet8.x@"
- Use "ubuntu@" instead of "ubuntu-latest@" or "integration-test-ubuntu-latest-dotnet8.x@"
- Use "dotnet8.x@", "dotnet9.x@", "dotnet10.x@" without platform-specific prefixes
- Filters now match ANY test from the respective OS or runtime, not overly specific combinations
