Add supplementary remarks for System.Reflection.Emit.DynamicMethod members

[Copilot]

Extracted long-form remarks (>15 lines) from System.Reflection.Emit.DynamicMethod XML documentation into standalone markdown files following the established pattern for runtime library API documentation.

Files Added

Created 9 supplementary documentation files in docs/fundamentals/runtime-libraries/:

• system-reflection-emit-dynamicmethod-ctor.md - Constructor overloads (3)

  • Anonymous hosting and visibility restrictions
  • Module-associated methods and member access
  • Security permission requirements

• system-reflection-emit-dynamicmethod-createdelegate.md - CreateDelegate overloads (2)

  • Method completion semantics
  • Closed delegates and instance binding

• system-reflection-emit-dynamicmethod-defineparameter.md - DefineParameter method

• system-reflection-emit-dynamicmethod-getilgenerator.md - GetILGenerator overloads (2)

• system-reflection-emit-dynamicmethod-invoke.md - Invoke method

  • Performance vs delegate execution
  • Security demands for anonymously hosted methods

• system-reflection-emit-dynamicmethod-issecuritycritical.md - IsSecurityCritical property

• system-reflection-emit-dynamicmethod-issecuritysafecritical.md - IsSecuritySafeCritical property

• system-reflection-emit-dynamicmethod-issecuritytransparent.md - IsSecurityTransparent property

  • Transparency matrix for security levels
  • Trusted vs partially trusted assembly handling

• system-reflection-emit-dynamicmethod-name.md - Name property

Format

• Overloads grouped in single file with H2 xref headings
• Standard frontmatter with ai-usage disclosure
• Context include and code examples preserved from XML source

Please create a new PR with these changes.

[Chronological Review] 1. User requested extracting remarks from DynamicMethod.xml members where remarks > 15 lines, creating new markdown files in the fundamentals/runtime-libraries folder 2. Fetched the XML file from GitHub (dotnet/dotnet-api-docs repo) - file was 210KB+ 3. Searched for the example format file (system-xml-xmlreader-create.md) and found it at C:\Users\gewarren\docs\docs\fundamentals\runtime-libraries\ 4. Parsed the XML to identify all members with remarks > 15 lines - found 13 qualifying member entries across 9 groups 5. Read the example format file to understand structure (frontmatter, title, context include, content) 6. Read the ResourceManager constructor file to understand overload grouping pattern 7. Extracted and cleaned all remarks content from the XML CDATA blocks 8. Created all 9 markdown files 9. Verified files were created correctly 10. Cleaned up temp files and marked task complete

[Intent Mapping]

• User wants remarks from DynamicMethod XML members (>15 lines) extracted into separate markdown files
• Files should be in docs/fundamentals/runtime-libraries/ folder
• Naming convention: all lowercase, e.g., system-reflection-emit-dynamicmethod-getilgenerator
• Overloads of same method/constructor go in same file
• Format should match existing file system-xml-xmlreader-create.md

[Technical Inventory]

• Source: GitHub repo dotnet/dotnet-api-docs, file xml/System.Reflection.Emit/DynamicMethod.xml
• Target: docs/fundamentals/runtime-libraries/ in local repo at C:\Users\gewarren\docs
• Format: YAML frontmatter + markdown with xref links, context include
• XML parsing done via PowerShell [xml] type
• Content was in CDATA blocks within tags

[Code Archaeology]

• 9 new files created (listed below)
• Existing files referenced for format: system-xml-xmlreader-create.md, system-resources-resourcemanager-ctor.md, system-reflection-emit-dynamicmethod.md
• includes/context.md contains: "This article provides supplementary remarks to the reference documentation for this API."

[Progress Assessment]

• ALL WORK COMPLETE: All 9 files created and verified
• Task was marked complete with task_complete tool

[Context Validation]

• All qualifying members identified and processed
• File naming convention followed
• Overloads properly grouped
• Format matches existing examples

[Recent Commands Analysis]

• Final sequence: view of two created files to verify formatting, cleanup of temp files, task_complete call
• The task_complete tool was called with summary of all work done
• All 9 files confirmed created with correct sizes

1. Conversation Overview: - Primary Objectives: User requested extracting remarks from `System.Reflection.Emit.DynamicMethod` members (from dotnet-api-docs GitHub repo XML) where remarks sections exceed 15 lines, creating new markdown files in the `fundamentals/runtime-libraries` folder following the naming/format conventions of existing files like `system-xml-xmlreader-create.md`. Overloads of the same method/constructor go in the same file. - Session Context: Single-task session. Fetched XML source, parsed it, identified qualifying members, extracted/cleaned remarks content, created 9 markdown files, verified them, and completed the task. - User Intent Evolution: No evolution - single clear request executed to completion.

2. Technical Foundation:

   • Source XML: xml/System.Reflection.Emit/DynamicMethod.xml from dotnet/dotnet-api-docs GitHub repo (SHA: 88be2374bef3ab5b1c453ffe29ff920efa42c0f3), ~210KB
   • Local repo: C:\Users\gewarren\docs (the dotnet/docs repo)
   • Target directory: docs/fundamentals/runtime-libraries/
   • Format template: YAML frontmatter (title, description, ms.date, ai-usage) + [!INCLUDE [context](includes/context.md)] + markdown content with <xref:> links
   • XML structure: Remarks in <format type="text/markdown"><![CDATA[...]]></format> blocks within <Member><Docs><remarks> elements
   • Naming convention: all lowercase, dots→hyphens, e.g., system-reflection-emit-dynamicmethod-getilgenerator
   • For constructors: use ctor in filename; for overloads: use plural in title ("methods"/"constructors")
   • Overload heading format: ## <xref:System.Reflection.Emit.DynamicMethod.%23ctor(...)> with %23 encoding for #

3. Codebase Status:

   • system-reflection-emit-dynamicmethod-ctor.md (9865 bytes):
     • Purpose: Constructors with >15-line remarks (3 overloads)
     • Overloads: (String,Type,Type[],Boolean) 28 lines, (String,Type,Type[],Module) 17 lines, (String,Type,Type[],Type) 31 lines
     • Each overload has H2 xref heading with content underneath; Examples as H3 under respective overloads
   • system-reflection-emit-dynamicmethod-createdelegate.md (6170 bytes):
     • Purpose: CreateDelegate overloads (2 overloads)
     • Overloads: (Type) 16 lines, (Type,Object) 34 lines
   • `system-reflecti...
