Verdict: BLOCKING — do not merge as-is. The slice-4 importer join-typing opener
(EnumOverUnderlyingFamily) is unsound: it changes program semantics and marks the
result Full fidelity.
Reviewers: GPT-5.5 and Gemini 3.1 Pro (both non-Claude per the AGENTS.md roster),
each in an isolated worktree. They independently found the same root cause via different
fixtures. All findings below were reproduced by the requester on clean base vs branch
checkouts using DecompilerHarness --dump.
ILInspector.Decompiler is not yet close to ILSpy-level state of the art as a
general-purpose .NET decompiler. It is much closer to state of the art in
observability, verification discipline, and product fit for an inspection CLI.
The core design is coherent: typed IR, an explicit ordered pass list, honest degradation, stage dumps that end on the shipped renderer, and compile-back

.NET Core started out life as a cross-platform project. We naturally wanted to encourage usage on Linux. Across the first couple versions, we figured out how to build a single set of binaries that worked everywhere (e.g. for Linux x64). A key design point of that project was building on an old Linux so that our choice of build OS didn’t unnecessarily limit where .NET apps could be run. That has worked well, using CentOS 7, but it will soon go out of support. There isn't an obvious replacement for CentOS 7, requiring us to adopt a new approach.
We intend to use a combination of Mariner and a streamlined copy of Ubuntu going forward.
The primary aspect of breadth targeting on Linux is linking with the C standard library (libc). Native code (like the .NET runtime) is compiled with a given libc and then is only able to run on distros with a libc version at le
We just shipped a cool new scenario for .NET, which is making it really easy to run .NET 8 container images as a non-root user.
Friends don't let friends run as

We should all get T-Shirts that say that.
Let's take a quick look using our favourite aspnetapp sample. I'm going to use WSL. I'll show you everthing I do. I use the patterns that are easiest for me, which might not be the same for you.
