Description
**Description of the false positive**
NRT attributes appear to be ignored by CodeQL. This results in lots of noise as we have to explicitly mark each point of use as a false positive and so safe.
**Code samples or links to source code**
```cs
if (TryConvertContractState(tradingPhase, state, out Models.ContractState? contractState))
return contractState.Value;
```
when it is defined as:
```cs
private static bool TryConvertContractState(
string tradingPhase, string state,
[NotNullWhen(true)] out PersistedModels.ContractState? cdmState)
{}
```
