Description

Tier 2 — Feedback readiness · Priority: P1

Gap

Analyzers, ESLint/Prettier, and C# analyzers exist, but their output is not packaged as agent-friendly summaries that map diagnostics to file locations and likely fixes.

Investment
  • Add structured diagnostics or an agent-friendly analyzer/lint/format summary (file, rule, location, suggested fix).
Acceptance criteria
  • Analyzer/lint/format output is available in a form that maps to file locations and likely fixes.
  • An agent can consume the summary without manual translation.

Part of epic #3273

Research direction

Review epic #3273 and the existing analyzer, ESLint/Prettier, and C# analyzer outputs first; the issue names no files or tests. The work is complete when diagnostics are exposed as agent-consumable summaries containing file locations, rules, suggested fixes, and no manual translation is needed.
