Description
capa analyzes .NET files at the CIL level to extract capabilities. Unfortunately, this may differ from the decompilation generated by tools like dnSpy. Let's use this issue to track specific instances where the decompilation has differed greatly from the underlying CIL instructions.
Contributor guide
Research direction
The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by identifying a reproducible case where capa's CIL-level analysis differs substantially from dnSpy's decompilation, then document the underlying CIL and the differing interpretation. Done means a concrete discrepancy is recorded with enough detail to guide a follow-up change.
