description	Opinionated baseline for .NET MAUI apps: analyzers/format, tests where feasible, Makefile targets, and CI wiring (build validation).

Stack Default: .NET MAUI

When to use

Use when:

• Repo is .NET MAUI and foundations are missing/incomplete
• Bootstrapping a MAUI app baseline
• Preparing for UI use-case work

Baseline outcomes

• Formatting/analyzers enforced
• Build validation in CI (platform constraints acknowledged)
• Makefile provides canonical commands
• Docs updated for run/test

Preferred tools (default choices)

• Format/lint: .editorconfig + analyzers + (optional) dotnet format
• Build: dotnet build
• Tests: unit tests for shared logic/projects (UI automation may be constrained)

Rule: Prefer existing repo conventions if present.

Required files / locations

• Makefile
• .editorconfig
• .github/workflows/ci.yml
• /docs/testing/how-to-run.md

Make targets (required)

• make lint
• make build
• make test (for unit tests where feasible)

Step 1 — Lint baseline

• Add .editorconfig if missing
• Ensure analyzers are enforced
• Implement make lint (verify-no-changes if format is used)

Step 2 — Build baseline

• Ensure make build runs the correct MAUI build for CI constraints
• If full MAUI build is not feasible in CI:
  • at least build shared projects + core libraries
  • add blockers/questions only if truly required for correctness

Step 3 — Test baseline

• Ensure make test runs unit tests for non-UI logic
• Add minimal unit tests if none exist

Step 4 — CI wiring

• CI runs make lint, make build, make test
• Document any CI limitations clearly (short, factual)

Step 5 — Docs alignment

Update /docs/testing/how-to-run.md:

• prerequisites (SDK workloads)
• Make targets
• how to run tests/build

Suggested required_gates[]

• Baseline setup: lint, build, ci
• If tests exist: add unit
