Code completion checklist

Run before finishing any implementation cycle.

Workflow

Step 0: Remove dead code

Before running quality gates:

• Delete obsolete or commented-out code
• Remove unused imports, variables, helper methods
• Strip debugging aids (Console.WriteLine, breakpoints)
• Remove scratch files (.bak, .new, .debug.*)

Step 1: Run linters

dotnet format --severity info --no-restore
npx markdownlint-cli2 --fix

Zero errors and zero warnings required. Individual checks:

dotnet tool run roslynator fix --properties TargetFramework=net10.0 --severity-level hidden --verbosity normal
dotnet format --severity info --no-restore
npx markdownlint-cli2 --fix

VS Code task: Lint: All (fix)

Step 2: Build

dotnet build "Stock.Indicators.sln" -v minimal --nologo

VS Code task: Build: .NET Solution (incremental)

Step 3: Test

dotnet test "Stock.Indicators.sln" --no-restore --nologo

VS Code task: Test: Unit tests

Step 4: Update documentation

When changing indicators or public APIs:

• Update XML documentation for changed public APIs
• Update docs/indicators/{IndicatorName}.md
• Update docs/migration.md for notable and breaking changes from v2
• Update src/Obsolete.V3.*.cs for deprecated APIs

Step 5: Verify

dotnet format --verify-no-changes --severity info --no-restore
dotnet build "Stock.Indicators.sln" -v minimal --nologo
dotnet test "Stock.Indicators.sln" --no-build --nologo
npx markdownlint-cli2

Quality standards

• Zero linting errors and zero warnings
• Zero build warnings and errors
• All tests pass (coverage ≥ 98% validated in CI/CD)
• Documentation updated for public API changes
• Migration bridges updated for breaking changes

Do not ignore, defer, or suppress warnings.

Indicator components

New or updated indicators require:

• Series: *.StaticSeries.cs
• Catalog: *.Catalog.cs + registration
• Tests: *.Tests.cs with full coverage
• Docs: docs/indicators/{Name}.md
• Regression baseline (if algorithm changed)
• Performance benchmark (complex indicators)

Migration bridge

When changing public APIs:

• Add [Obsolete] with migration message
• Update docs/migration.md
• Update src/Obsolete.V3.Indicators.cs and src/Obsolete.V3.Other.cs
