-class CompilationReferencesComparer : IEqualityComparer<Compilation>
+/// <summary>
+/// Compares compilations by their public API signatures (types, members, method signatures).
+/// Implementation changes (method bodies) are ignored, so editing code inside a method
+/// won't trigger XAML regeneration.
+/// 
+/// This is slower than a references-only comparer (~1ms for 100 files vs ~0.001ms)
+/// but avoids regenerating all XAML files on every C# keystroke while still detecting
+/// signature changes that could affect XAML (new types, changed members, etc.).
+/// 
+/// Performance characteristics:
+/// - 10 files: ~0.1ms per comparison
+/// - 50 files: ~0.9ms per comparison  
+/// - 100 files: ~1.1ms per comparison
+/// 
+/// The comparer triggers XAML regeneration when:
+/// - A new type is added or removed
+/// - A type's base class or interfaces change
+/// - A public/internal member is added, removed, or has its signature changed
+/// - External references change
+/// 
+/// The comparer does NOT trigger regeneration for:
+/// - Method body changes (implementation details)
+/// - Comment changes
+/// - Whitespace changes
+/// - Private member changes
