dotnet-inspect: Deep Inspect

Use this skill when a change needs expensive evidence outside normal PR CI. Deep Inspect is opt-in: run it manually when preparing risky PRs, and the test lane also runs during publish before packages are built.

Lanes

Lane	Use for	Runs
test	Blocking proof before publish or risky merges	Full decompiler tests, full analysis tests, vendored ILAssembler restore, full IL round-trip sweep.
census	Observational broad signal and triage	Real-world corpus sensor, validity predicate scan, uncapped validity sweep, assertion scan, analysis corpus sensor, paydirt recall.
all	Release-candidate deep read	Both lanes.

Run manually:

gh workflow run deep-inspect.yml -f lane=test
gh workflow run deep-inspect.yml -f lane=census
gh workflow run deep-inspect.yml -f lane=all

Inspect recent runs and artifacts:

gh run list --workflow deep-inspect.yml --limit 10
gh run view <run-id> --log-failed
gh run download <run-id> -D /tmp/deep-inspect-<run-id>

Local equivalents

For the test lane:

dotnet run --project src/ILInspector.Decompiler.Tests -c Release
dotnet run --project src/ILInspector.Analysis.Tests -c Release
bash eng/restore-ilassembler.sh
dotnet run --project tests/DotnetInspector.ILRoundtrip.Tests -c Release

For the fast PR subsets:

dotnet run --project src/ILInspector.Decompiler.Tests -c Release -- -trait- "Speed=Slow"
dotnet run --project src/ILInspector.Analysis.Tests -c Release -- -trait- "Speed=Slow"
dotnet run --project tests/DotnetInspector.ILRoundtrip.Tests -c Release -- -trait- "Speed=Slow"

For the census lane, prefer the workflow so artifacts are retained. If running locally, use the same scripts/baselines as deep-inspect.yml and preserve the generated snapshots/cards under /tmp or artifacts/ for review.

Reading results

• Treat test failures as blockers: reproduce locally, identify the first failing proof, and fix or explicitly defer before publish.
• Treat census output as triage signal unless a command exits nonzero by design. Compare snapshots against committed baselines and route meaningful drift to issues or follow-up PRs.
• Do not add broad/corpus-style tests to PR CI. Mark them [Trait("Speed", "Slow")] and keep them in Deep Inspect / publish / full local runs.
