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; AllItems/AllProperties from proj-info may already contain the data — worth investigating first)
• 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. Cannot verify available NuGet versions without network. Blocked until either network access is available or project migrates to NuGet CPM (see Convert to NuGet Central Package Management #1280).
• Investigate whether FSAC can emit parameter semantic token type for function parameters from the untyped AST without an upstream FCS fix (see Function parameters have Semantic Token type 'variable' #1359).
• Anonymous record stub generator (The record generator for anonymous records. #455): implement as a diagnostic-driven code fix matching FS3578 error, following GenerateRecordStub.fs pattern.
• "Introduce missing binding" code fix (Code action: suggest to create missing parameter as local binding #1271): implement IntroduceMissingBinding triggered on FS0039; guidance provided in issue comment.
• Issue Function application signature help: consider adding parens to tupled arguments in tooltip #745: Signature help for tupled function parameters — show tuples in parens (related to Function application signature help: only first parameter is ever highlighted #744/[Repo Assist] fix: report all curried parameters in function application signature help #1469 fix).
• Go-to implementation (Add go-to implementation that would navigate to signature file #1473): implement textDocument/implementation for .fsi → .fs navigation and abstract/virtual member → override navigation; commented with implementation sketch.
• MSBuild properties for design time (Add ability to set Msbuild properties for design time #1475): implementation guidance provided in comment; feature tracked in fresh issue. Consider implementing this feature.
• Signature file tooling (General better support for signature files in tooling #779): implement textDocument/implementation, improve Find References to cover .fsi files; commented with notes.
• OptionalAttribute compact display (More concise completion info with OptionalAttribute/DefaultParameterValueAttribute #1310): implement in SignatureFormatter.formatParameter by checking DefaultParameterValueAttribute from FSharpParameter.Attributes; commented with approach.
• open insertion inconsistency (Inconsistency in generated open location between Code Completion and Code Fix #789): fix ResolveNamespace.adjustInsertionPoint to not override TopModule scope to line 1; or offer two variants (nearest/top-level). Root cause now documented in issue.
• Type alias display (Show underlying Types of alias Types #653): add ShowTypeAliasDetails config flag and modify formatFSharpType in SignatureFormatter.fs to show alias (= underlying) when enabled.

• 💬 Commented on Inconsistency in generated open location between Code Completion and Code Fix #789: root cause analysis for open insertion inconsistency (code fix uses TopModule → line 1 override; completion uses raw FCS nearest position); referenced TODO comment in Commands.fs
• 💬 Commented on Show underlying Types of alias Types #653: implementation sketch for type alias display — getAbbreviatedType utilities already exist in TypedAstPatterns.fs; fix would go in formatFSharpType in SignatureFormatter.fs with config flag
