| description | INTERNAL DEV WORKFLOW for WpfHexEditor — Claude self-invokes after editing
any *.xaml, *.resx, or *Resources.Designer.cs file to detect regressions in
the high-incident XAML/resx/loc domain (hardcoded user-strings, XAML patcher
corruption, resx malformed, key drift, HexEditor Resources alias, MessageBox
in code-behind, ContextMenu transparency, DockPanel-row alignment). Skip on:
pure structural attribute edits (Grid.Row, Margin, Width).

xaml-guard (internal)
Layered guard for the highest-incident surface in project memory: adr_007_xaml_patcher_bug, feedback_resx_satellite_corruption, feedback_localization_new_strings, feedback_resources_alias_hexeditor, bug_contextmenu_transparent, feedback_overflow_menu_alignment.
When I invoke
| Situation | Run? |
|---|
Edit *.xaml, *.resx, *Resources.Designer.cs, new UserControl/Window/Page | yes |
Pure structural attribute edit (Grid.Row, Margin, Padding), code-behind .xaml.cs only | no |

LocCoverage is approximate (DynamicResource count vs attribute string count). Does not rewrite XAML, translate strings, or verify XAML compiles.
False positives: technical values (Style="{StaticResource …}", x:Key=…, FontFamily="Segoe UI", brush names) are whitelisted — see references/xaml-rules.md.
