Why

MA0067 only flagged new Guid(), so equivalent empty-Guid constructions were missed. This change makes the rule consistently detect empty GUID values regardless of common constructor or parse syntax.

What changed

  • Extended UseGuidEmptyAnalyzer to also report:
    • new Guid("...") when the constant string parses to Guid.Empty
    • new Guid(0, 0, 0, ...) when all numeric constructor arguments are zero
    • Guid.Parse("...") when the constant string parses to Guid.Empty
  • Reused the existing shared helper NumericHelpers.IsZero for numeric zero checks.
  • Expanded UseGuidEmptyAnalyzerTests with positive and negative cases, including multiple supported empty-Guid string formats (dashed, braced, parenthesized, and no-dash).
  • Updated MA0067 documentation examples to reflect the broader detection coverage.

Notes

  • Detection for string-based cases relies on Guid.TryParse, so it naturally supports all formats accepted by the BCL parser.

Detect additional empty Guid patterns in MA0067, including constant string constructors, all-zero numeric constructors, and Guid.Parse on constant empty values. Add test coverage for supported formats and non-empty negatives, and update MA0067 documentation examples.
