@flash0ver.bsky.social Okay. So now I am getting to separating Code Fixes and Analyzers in separate assemblies. Is the thought that I should expect consumers to use two nuget packages? Or should I find a way to bring them back together under a single package?

I have decided I am going to just start deleting code until the compiler fails or until tests start failing. Anything that doesn't cause these to fail must not be necessary.

The fundamental theorem of software talks of solving any problem with a layer of indirection. This is the hammer by which most over architecture is crafted. Yes. Add indirection. When, Where, and How are the difference between good and bad outcomes.
