<p align="center"> <strong>Roslyn analyzer toolkit for .NET operational stability.</strong><br/> Detect concurrency, async, memory, and HTTP risks at compile time — before they reach production. </p>

Why RuntimeSentinel
Most static analyzers focus on style and correctness. Operational risks — concurrency issues, retry storms, memory pressure under load — typically surface late in the cycle: during load tests or production incidents.
RuntimeSentinel shifts that detection earlier by making high-impact runtime risks visible at compile time, in your IDE and in CI pipelines. No extra tooling, no runtime overhead — just warnings where you write code.
| ⚡ Stability under load | 🔒 Safe concurrency |
| 📡 Resilient HTTP patterns | 🧠 Memory efficiency |
| ⏱ Predictable throughput | 🔁 Retry safety |
Implemented Rules
| Rule | Category | What It Flags | Why It Matters |
|---|---|---|---|
| RS1001 | Concurrency | Thread.Sleep inside async methods |
Blocks real worker threads; under load this starves the thread pool |
| RS1002 | Concurrency | Task.WhenAll fan-out without an explicit bound |
Unbounded fan-out can flood downstream dependencies |
| RS1003 | Concurrency | Parallel.ForEach without MaxDegreeOfParallelism |
Can oversubscribe CPU and saturate shared resources |
| RS1004 | Async | Blocking calls .Wait() / .Result in async context |
Blocks threads and raises deadlock/starvation risk |
| RS1005 | Memory | ToList() materialization on unbounded queries |
Can spike memory and trigger GC pressure at scale |
| RS1006 | Communication | new HttpClient() created inside a method |
Per-request instantiation causes socket exhaustion over time |
| RS1007 | Communication | HTTP call without explicit timeout or CancellationToken |
Requests can hang indefinitely under latency spikes |
| RS1008 | Communication | Retry loop without an explicit max-attempt limit | Infinite retries amplify load on an already failing dependency |
| RS1009 | Communication | Retry with fixed delay instead of exponential backoff | Fixed interval keeps hammering unstable dependencies at high frequency |
| RS1010 | Communication | Exponential backoff without jitter | Synchronized retries across instances cause coordinated traffic bursts |
| RS1011 | Async | async void method outside event handler |
Exceptions escape the call stack and crash the process; caller cannot await or handle them |
| RS1012 | Memory | string += inside a loop |
Each iteration allocates a new string on the heap; use StringBuilder to avoid GC pressure |
Code Fix — RS1002
For RS1002 (Task.WhenAll unbounded fan-out), RuntimeSentinel ships an automatic code fix with two strategies:
Before:
var results = await Task.WhenAll(items.Select(i => ProcessAsync(i)));
After — option 1: limit with Take:
var results = await Task.WhenAll(items.Take(100).Select(i => ProcessAsync(i)));
After — option 2: limit concurrency with SemaphoreSlim:
var semaphore = new SemaphoreSlim(10);
var results = await Task.WhenAll(items.Select(async i =>
{
await semaphore.WaitAsync();
try { return await ProcessAsync(i); }
finally { semaphore.Release(); }
}));
Operational Risk Scorer
Beyond individual diagnostics, RuntimeSentinel includes a scoring engine that produces a composite operational risk report for a C# source snippet.
var scorer = new OperationalRiskScorer();
var report = await scorer.AnalyzeSourceAsync(sourceCode);
Console.WriteLine(report.OperationalRisk); // 0-100
Console.WriteLine(report.OperationalRiskLevel); // Low / Medium / High
Console.WriteLine(report.ToMarkdown());
Console.WriteLine(report.ToJson());
The report includes:
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
ConcurrencyRisk |
0-100 score for concurrency issues |
AsyncRisk |
0-100 score for async blocking issues |
MemoryRisk |
0-100 score for memory pressure issues |
OperationalRisk |
Weighted composite score (0-100) |
OperationalRiskLevel |
Low / Medium / High classification |
Findings |
List of individual diagnostics with location |
Justifications |
Human-readable explanations per finding |
Default weights: Concurrency 50% · Async 30% · Memory 20%.
Thresholds: Low < 30 · 30 ≤ Medium < 70 · High ≥ 70.
Weights and thresholds are configurable via OperationalRiskScoringOptions.
Quick Start
Install via NuGet (recommended):
dotnet add package RuntimeSentinel.Analyzers
Or add directly to your .csproj:
<PackageReference Include="RuntimeSentinel.Analyzers" Version="0.1.3" />
Warnings appear automatically in Visual Studio, VS Code (C# Dev Kit), Rider, and CI pipelines.
Build from source:
git clone https://github.com/resolvendobug/RuntimeSentinel
dotnet build RuntimeSentinel.slnx
dotnet test test/RuntimeSentinel.Analyzers.Tests/RuntimeSentinel.Analyzers.Tests.csproj
Compatibility
- Target framework:
netstandard2.0 - Compatible with .NET Framework 4.6.1+, .NET Core 2.0+, .NET 5/6/7/8/9/10+
- Analyzer integrates with any Roslyn-powered IDE (Visual Studio, VS Code with C# Dev Kit, Rider)

Scope
RuntimeSentinel is purpose-built for operational stability analysis in C#/.NET — not a general-purpose linter.
In scope:
- Roslyn diagnostic analyzers (RS1001–RS1010)
- Automatic code fixes for selected rules
- Operational risk scoring engine with JSON and Markdown output
Out of scope for v1:
- Generic style or naming convention linting
- Replacing load tests or runtime monitoring
- Full observability platform features
Contributing
Contributions are welcome!
- Open an issue to discuss the proposed change
- Fork the repository and create a feature branch
- Add tests for new analyzers or fixes
- Submit a pull request referencing the issue
If you have a production scenario that led to an incident and would make a good new rule, that context is especially valuable.
FAQ
How do I suppress a specific warning?
Inline suppression:
#pragma warning disable RS1011
public static async void FireAndForget() { ... }
#pragma warning restore RS1011
Project-wide suppression in your .csproj:
<PropertyGroup>
<NoWarn>RS1011</NoWarn>
</PropertyGroup>
Can I configure thresholds (e.g. RS1002 concurrency limit)?
Yes, via .editorconfig:
[*.cs]
dotnet_diagnostic.RS1002.max_concurrent_tasks = 50
dotnet_diagnostic.RS1005.max_materialized_items = 200
Does it work with .NET Framework projects?
Yes. The analyzer targets netstandard2.0 and is compatible with .NET Framework 4.6.1+ and all .NET Core / .NET 5+ versions.
What is RuntimeSentinel.Scoring for?
It aggregates all diagnostics from the analyzer and produces a single Operational Risk Score for the project, useful in CI pipelines to block or warn on high-risk code before deployment.
Will analyzers run in CI?
Yes. Roslyn analyzers run as part of dotnet build. Any warning can be escalated to an error in CI by adding to your .csproj:
<PropertyGroup>
<TreatWarningsAsErrors>true</TreatWarningsAsErrors>
</PropertyGroup>
or selectively: <WarningsAsErrors>RS1011;RS1012</WarningsAsErrors>
