Description

API View for .NET has a built in set of static analysis rules. These are totally useless today. Here are the issues:
1. The analysis rule violations show as strange red boxes, and people tent to ignore them. They should be show to the users as regular comments from a bot.
2. Many rules fire too many times, and result in many duplicated comments.

Research direction

Start by locating the API View for .NET static analysis implementation and tracing how rule violations are rendered and deduplicated. Done means violations appear as regular bot comments for users and repeated rule results no longer create duplicate comments.
