Remove Version Literals and SHAs From WORKFLOW.md

[ptr727]

Summary

Applies the fleet-wide rule that AGENTS.md, GOVERNANCE.md, CODESTYLE.md, and WORKFLOW.md carry no three-part version literal (1.2.3) and no commit SHA, whether it is a pin's value, an illustrative example, a minimum version, or a fixed constant.

A live re-scan of all four files found literals only in WORKFLOW.md, in the D1.2 coverage-extension narrative and the matching D1 evidence-table line. Both named Microsoft.Testing.Extensions.CodeCoverage's minimum version (and, in the narrative, an intermediate threshold and the xunit.v3 version) directly. Both now point at Directory.Packages.props as the manifest that holds the minimum version, per the rule's "minimum version: name the manifest ... instead of the number." AGENTS.md, GOVERNANCE.md, and CODESTYLE.md had no matching literals and are unchanged.

No judgment call was left unsettled; every literal found fell under the "minimum version" case of the rule.

Verification

• Re-scanned all four files with the maintainer-specified regex after editing: zero matches.
• Ran the repo's own Husky pre-commit hook (dotnet husky run: CSharpier + dotnet format style --verify-no-changes; Dockerized markdownlint-cli2 and cspell since Markdown was staged): all passed, commit succeeded with no --no-verify.
• git diff --stat: WORKFLOW.md | 15 ++++++++------- — only the two version-bearing passages changed, wrapping otherwise preserved.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Documentation
  • Updated coverage-extension guidance to reference the minimum version declared in package management settings instead of naming a specific version.
  • Clarified that releases earlier than the declared minimum fail, and that the minimum release requires a shared results directory.
  • Updated the static-audit criterion to compare against the declared minimum version, removing its reliance on a specific version threshold.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

WORKFLOW.md describes the coverage-extension minimum by reference to Directory.Packages.props. It retains the stated failure behavior for earlier releases and updates the static-audit criterion to check for a declared minimum version.

Changes

Coverage Extension Documentation

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Declared minimum version requirements WORKFLOW.md	The coverage-extension explanation and static-audit criterion now refer to the minimum version declared in Directory.Packages.props. The explanation retains the stated failure behavior for earlier releases and the shared results-directory requirement for the minimum release.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Estimated code review effort: 1 (Trivial) | ~3 minutes

Change: Other

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 16a5a

The workflow documentation now states the minimum consistently with the testing guidance, and the configured package version meets that requirement.

Review details

Systems and components

• observed — WORKFLOW.md (service) was modified; 1 changed file maps to changed impact.

Before / after behavior

• observed — Modified behavior in WORKFLOW.md: The coverage-extension explanation replaces the explicit 18.9.0 minimum and specific platform-version references with a minimum defined by Directory.Packages.props. It retains the described TypeLoadException and zero-test outcome for earlier releases, and states that the declared minimum is on the later minor line where test projects share the named results directory.
• observed — Modified behavior in WORKFLOW.md: The static audit now requires Directory.Packages.props to pin a minimum coverage-extension version, instead of requiring version 18.9.0 or above.

PR Summary by Qodo

Replace WORKFLOW.md Version Literals with Manifest References

📝 Documentation 🕐 Less than 5 minutes

AI Description

• Replaces package version literals with references to Directory.Packages.props as the source of
 truth.
• Preserves coverage compatibility rationale without embedding release-specific platform versions.

High-Level Assessment

The chosen approach is optimal: referencing the package manifest prevents documentation drift while retaining the operational rationale. Removing the compatibility explanation entirely was considered but would discard useful troubleshooting context.

What changed in this PR

Updates the repository’s CI/workflow contract documentation to comply with the fleet rule prohibiting three-part version literals and commit SHAs in carried instruction-set files, by replacing explicit version references with pointers to the authoritative manifest (Directory.Packages.props).

Changes:

• Rewrites the D1.2 CodeCoverage rationale to refer to the minimum version declared in Directory.Packages.props instead of hardcoded version numbers.
• Updates the 5A evidence checklist line to remove the explicit Microsoft.Testing.Extensions.CodeCoverage version threshold.

File	Description
WORKFLOW.md	Removes explicit version literals from the D1.2 coverage narrative and the matching 5A evidence checklist item, pointing readers to Directory.Packages.props for the minimum version source of truth.
