Future Work for Repo Assist

• XML doc lookup fallback for ref assemblies: tracked in Make a more correct way to get key data points from ProjectRefrences of the current project #1471 (maximally-correct approach via DocumentationProjectOutputGroup MSBuild target)
• Cross-assembly inheritdoc cref="..." resolution (requires searching all loaded XML doc caches by cref prefix)
• Bare inheritdoc/ resolution via type hierarchy walking (requires FCS entity APIs)
• Implement full cref → command:fsharp.showDocumentation URI rendering in see and seealso tags (See and SeeAlso XMLDoc comments should be links/commands #1027)
• Type Hierarchy (Implement Call Heirarchy and Type Heirarchy members #1097): implement prepareTypeHierarchy, supertypes, subtypes using FCS FSharpEntity APIs
• Task 4 (dependency check): project uses Paket; no Dependabot PRs. Blocked until network access is available
• Anonymous record stub generator (The record generator for anonymous records. #455): implement as a diagnostic-driven code fix matching FS3578 error
• "Introduce missing binding" code fix (Code action: suggest to create missing parameter as local binding #1271): triggered on FS0039
• Issue Function application signature help: consider adding parens to tupled arguments in tooltip #745: Signature help for tupled function parameters — show tuples in parens
• Go-to implementation (Add go-to implementation that would navigate to signature file #1473): implement textDocument/implementation for .fsi → .fs navigation
• MSBuild properties for design time (Add ability to set Msbuild properties for design time #1475): implementation guidance provided in comment
• OptionalAttribute compact display (More concise completion info with OptionalAttribute/DefaultParameterValueAttribute #1310): implement in SignatureFormatter.formatParameter
• open insertion inconsistency (Inconsistency in generated open location between Code Completion and Code Fix #789): fix ResolveNamespace.adjustInsertionPoint to not override TopModule scope
• Type alias display (Show underlying Types of alias Types #653): add ShowTypeAliasDetails config flag and modify formatFSharpType
• Fantomas update notifications (UX: updating to a newer version of Fantomas #847): implement fsharp/checkFantomasUpdate opt-in command

Run History

2026-03-01 13:57 UTC — Run

• 📋 Closed February 2026 monthly issue ([Repo Assist] Monthly Activity 2026-02 #1450) and created March 2026 monthly issue
• 💬 Commented on Script reference resolution doesn't respect sdk version in global.json #605: SetDotnetRoot reads global.json SDK version via SdkDiscovery.versionAt; FCS GetProjectSnapshotFromScript may still resolve framework refs independently — worth retesting on current FSAC
• 💬 Commented on UX: updating to a newer version of Fantomas #847: suggested opt-in fsharp/checkFantomasUpdate command approach — network call only when user enables config, UX in editor layer
