Activity for September 2026

Suggested Actions for Maintainer

Comprehensive list of all pending actions requiring maintainer attention (excludes items already actioned and checked off).

• Review/merge PR #1264 (seealso feature) — rebased onto main and pushed clean this run; build + 90/90 ApiDocs tests pass.
• Review/merge PR #1267 (docs literate doctest fix for #1221) — rebased onto main and pushed clean this run; docs-only change, fantomas clean.
• Review/merge PR #1275 (frontmatter colon-parsing fix) — verified already up to date with main, no conflict; "blocked" status is just a review-required flag.
• Review/merge new PR "deps: bump Ionide.ProjInfo to 0.75.0 and NUnit3TestAdapter to 6.3.0" (branch repo-assist/deps-bump-projinfo-nunit-20260905) — build + tests (fsdocs-tool.Tests 12/12, FSharp.Markdown.Tests 368/368) pass. After merging, close Dependabot PRs #1273 and #1268.
• Close issue #1276 ("[gh-aw] deps bump — protected files") — superseded by the new PR above, which applies the same bump directly via create_pull_request.
• Close issue #1278 ("[gh-aw] Protected Files" notice for PR #1264) — resolved; the RELEASE_NOTES.md conflict has since been fixed and pushed successfully.
• Consider other open Dependabot PRs (#1279, #1280, #1270) for a future bundle.
• Issue #1240 (deps bundle blocked by workflow file changes) remains open — still blocked because it touches .github/workflows/; no safe path found yet via automation.

Future Work for Repo Assist

• Continue monitoring for genuinely new, low-risk coding/testing/performance improvements (Tasks 5/8/9) — none identified with high confidence this run beyond the dependency bump.
• Revisit stale TODO markers in LatexFormatting.fs (150/168), MarkdownBlockParser.fs (442), MarkdownInlineParser.fs (288) only if a concrete, low-risk fix becomes apparent; still assessed as too risky without deeper investigation.

Run History

• 2026-09-05 ~00:20 UTC — Run: Task 6 — rebased & pushed PR #1264 (resolved real RELEASE_NOTES.md conflict, build+90/90 tests pass) and PR #1267 (clean rebase, fantomas clean); verified PR #1275 needs no action. Task 3 — reviewed issues #585, #1064, #685; no new fixable bug found (all either too large in scope or already covered by open PR #1242), substituted with Task 10. Task 10 — created new PR bundling Ionide.ProjInfo 0.75.0 and NUnit3TestAdapter 6.3.0 bumps (retry of blocked issue #1276, this time via create_pull_request which permits protected files) — build and tests green. Task 11 — updated this summary.
• 2026-09-03 — Prior run: attempted deps bundle bump but push_to_pull_request_branch blocked by protected-files policy (Directory.Packages.props), filed as issue #1276; other maintenance activity recorded in memory.

Activity for September 2026

Suggested Actions for Maintainer

Comprehensive list of all pending actions requiring maintainer attention (excludes items already actioned and checked off).

• Review/rebase PR #1299: repo-assist tests PR (ToLatex coverage) — mergeable_state is dirty, needs a rebase onto main — Review
• Review/rebase PR #1291: repo-assist deps bundle (Aug 2026) — mergeable_state is dirty, needs a rebase onto main — Review
• Review PR (new this run): perf fix for O(n2) pipe-table row splitting in MarkdownTableParser.fs, 369/369 tests pass — Review
• Review PR #1315 (nojaf): Skip union case tester properties in API docs, fixes #1313 — Review
• Review PR #1317 (nojaf): Keep comments of type abbreviations to tuples, fixes #1314 — Review
• Review PR #1318: Dependabot bump github/gh-aw-actions/setup 0.86.2→0.88.6 — Review
• Consider fix for #1316 (nojaf): link postfix FSharp.Core type constructors (list/option/seq) in API doc type signatures — detailed root cause provided, no PR yet — View
• Close issue #1240: deps bundle (Aug 2026) — still blocked by workflow-file push protection; needs manual maintainer action or can likely be closed once #1291 lands/is superseded — View
• Close infra notice issues #1296, #1297, #1298: stale gh-aw workflow-failure/protected-files notices from a prior run, already actioned/superseded — View

Future Work for Repo Assist

• Rebase/fix PRs #1299 and #1291 (both dirty mergeable_state) in a future Task 6 run.
• Revisit #1316 (FSharp.Core postfix type constructor linking) as a possible Task 3/5 candidate — root cause and fix approach already spelled out by the reporter.
• Continue monitoring #1240 deps bundle blocker for a maintainer-side resolution path.

Run History

• 🏷️ Labelled #1316 with enhancement, documentation
• 🏷️ Labelled #1313 with bug, documentation

## Future Work for Repo Assist

- Continue monitoring for genuinely new, low-risk coding/testing/performance improvements — none identified with high confidence beyond issue #1316's fix this run.
- Revisit stale `TODO` markers in `LatexFormatting.fs`, `MarkdownBlockParser.fs`, `MarkdownInlineParser.fs` only if a concrete, low-risk fix becomes apparent.

## Run History

### 2026-09-13 04:24 UTC — [Run](https://github.com/fsprojects/FSharp.Formatting/actions/runs/34727786811)
- Task 3 (Issue Fix): Implemented the fix proposed by `@nojaf` in #1316 — `tryResolveCrossReferenceForEntity` in `CrossReferenceResolver.fs` now resolves postfix FSharp.Core type abbreviations (`list`, `option`, `voption`, `string`, etc.) through their abbreviated type's definition when the abbreviation entity has no full name of its own, so they render as hyperlinks instead of plain text. Added a regression test and updated two pre-existing test assertions whose expectations predated the fix (`string` in union case signatures is now also correctly linked). Full test suite green (368+32+28+146+92 tests). Opened draft PR and commented on #1316 linking it.
- Task 2 (Issue Comment): Reviewed all 16 open issues oldest-first. All already have adequate Repo Assist/human engagement or open fix PRs; no new comment needed beyond #1316 (addressed via Task 3).
- Task 4 (Engineering Investments): Checked `Directory.Packages.props` (all packages current, recently bumped) and CI workflow action versions (`actions/checkout@v6`, `actions/cache@v5`, `actions/setup-dotnet@v5` — all current). No actionable engineering item found this run; verified issue #1240 (deps bundle, previously flagged blocked) is already closed by dsyme, correcting stale memory.
- Verified memory was stale on several fronts: issue #1240 already closed 2026-09-08; PRs #1130/#1241/#1242/#1264/#1267/#1275 already merged. Updated memory accordingly.

### 2026-09-11 — [Run](https://github.com/fsprojects/FSharp.Formatting/actions/runs/34546068188)
- Task 1: labelled #1316 (enhancement, documentation), #1313 (bug, documentation), #1314 (bug, documentation).
- Task 8: created PR fixing O(n2) `pipeTableFindSplits` in `MarkdownTableParser.fs`, 369/369 tests pass.
- Task 2: no new comment needed — all issues already adequately covered.

### 2026-09-09 — [Run](https://github.com/fsprojects/FSharp.Formatting/actions/runs/34294605274)
- Task 9: added 2 new tests to `Markdown.fs` covering `Markdown.ToLatex` OtherBlock and InlineHtmlBlock rendering (370/370 pass); opened draft PR.
- Task 3: reviewed several bug/help-wanted issues — no new fixable bug found this run.

### 2026-09-08 (command mode: /repo-assist try again to bump to tool 0.38.0)
- Bumped fsharp-analyzers tool 0.37.2→0.38.0, G-Research.FSharp.Analyzers 0.23.0→0.24.0, Ionide.Analyzers 0.15.0→0.18.0 directly on PR #1291's branch; build and full test suite green.

### 2026-09-05 ~00:20 UTC — [Run](https://github.com/fsprojects/FSharp.Formatting/actions/runs/33932588559)
- Task 6 — rebased & pushed PR #1264 and PR #1267 (conflicts resolved, tests pass); verified PR #1275 needs no action.
- Task 10 — created PR bundling Ionide.ProjInfo 0.75.0 and NUnit3TestAdapter 6.3.0 bumps via `create_pull_request` (protected-file friendly); build and tests green.

### 2026-09-03 — Prior run
- Attempted deps bundle bump but `push_to_pull_request_branch` blocked by protected-files policy (`Directory.Packages.props`); other maintenance activity recorded in memory.> Generated by 🌈 Repo Assist, see [workflow run](https://github.com/fsprojects/FSharp.Formatting/actions/runs/34727786811).

This is an automated monthly maintainer summary rather than a defined implementation task. Start by reviewing the referenced pull requests and issues, especially #1316 and PRs #1315, #1317, and #1319; there is no single file, test, or acceptance criterion that defines when this issue is done.
