ManagedCode.Communication

Trigger On

• integrating ManagedCode.Communication into services or APIs
• replacing exception-driven result handling with explicit results
• reviewing service boundaries that return success or failure payloads
• documenting result-pattern usage across ASP.NET Core or application services

Workflow

1. Confirm the boundary where the library belongs:
   • service result contracts
   • application manager boundaries
   • API endpoints that translate results into HTTP responses
2. Keep result creation and error mapping explicit instead of mixing exceptions, nulls, and ad-hoc tuples.
3. Pattern-match result objects at the boundary that converts them into user-facing responses.
4. Do not hide domain failures behind generic success wrappers.
5. Validate positive, negative, and error-path handling after integration.

Deliver

• guidance on where explicit result objects improve clarity
• usage boundaries for translating results into API or caller responses
• validation expectations for success and failure flows

Validate

• result handling is consistent across the boundary that uses the library
• callers do not fall back to exception-only logic for normal failure cases
• negative and error scenarios are documented and tested
