…tched The worker binds an edited file without the global usings that other files of the assembly declare, so an existing method whose parameter or return type comes from such a using no longer matches its compiled signature and is classified as added. The new fixtures cover a parameter, a return type, a field type and a base class that resolve only through the test assembly's global usings, plus an internal parameter type from another file that must keep matching, and the introduced-type planning test gains a sibling-file global alias variant. The internal probe type has no methods, so it joins the self-snapshot allow-list.
The shape fixture file holds other fixtures, and one of them may be skipped on purpose without telling anything about how an inaccessible parameter type binds, so the regression pin looks only at the rows of the fixture it is about.
…ling global using The planning compilation holds only the edited sources, so a base class the source reaches through another file's global using stays an unresolved error type, the Unity object ancestry check walks nothing, and the type is planned instead of refused. The new base type has no methods, so it joins the self-snapshot allow-list.
… worker compilation The worker compilations held only the edited files, so a global using declared in another file of the assembly reached the emitted shims but not the binding: an existing method whose parameter or return type came from such a using no longer matched its compiled signature and was classified as added, a field of such a type looked retyped, a base class looked missing, and introduced-type planning walked an unresolved base and missed a Unity object ancestor. Each of the five compilations now also holds one tree with only those global using directives, built from the list the worker already collects for the shims and without the directives the compilation's own roots declare, so nothing repeats. The const drift compilations build their own tree because a changed sibling may declare global usings itself.
…neric skip When a parameter type of an existing generic method cannot be resolved, the method no longer matches its compiled signature, is classified as added, and is skipped with the added-generic reason, which sends the caller after a limit that does not apply instead of the missing type.
…t be matched A method whose return or parameter type does not bind cannot be matched to its compiled counterpart, so it was classified as added and skipped with whatever reason an added method of its shape gets, such as the added-generic limit. The skip now names the type that did not resolve and says to pass the file that declares it, or to compile. An inaccessible type is not counted as unresolved: it still names the compiled type, and such a method matches as before.
… added The existing tests with an internal type in a signature edit methods that match their compiled counterparts, so they never reach the unresolved-type check that only added methods go through. This one adds a method whose parameter is an internal type of another file and checks that it is added and that its caller is patched, which fails once an inaccessible type counts as unresolved.
The worker compilations hold only the edited sources, so a reader of the worker section needs to know where a sibling file's global usings come from.

📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe hot-reload worker now adds assembly-wide global usings to planning, retained-declaration, and sibling const-drift compilations. Added-method checks identify unresolved signature types with a dedicated skip reason. Editor tests cover global aliases, sibling const changes, and internal signature types.

…rted The per-sibling const drift compilation carries the assembly's global usings, but no test reached it with a sibling that needs them. The new const's enum type lives in a namespace only the test assembly's global using imports, so without that using the const has no value and the drift warning silently disappears.
…d as changed Planning verifies the consts an introduced type reads in a compilation that adds the changed siblings and carries the assembly's global usings. No test reached that compilation with a sibling that needs them. When the sibling names its const's type only through a global using, the value is now read and the type is refused because the value changed, not because the value could not be verified.
…y edits patched The reload that edits a retained type's body checks the declaration against its record in a compilation that carries the assembly's global usings. No test reached that compilation with a declaration that needs them, so the record check could drop the using without any test noticing.

Traverse pointer signature types.
When an added method has a missing type in its pointer return or parameter type, TryFind does not reach that type. The method can miss AddedMethodSignatureTypeUnresolved and proceed to transformation. The later accessor check is conditional and does not cover methods whose bodies need no inaccessible-member rewrite. Recurse through IPointerTypeSymbol.PointedAtType.

Summary
global usingdeclared in another file of the assembly are now patched. Before, such a method was reported as an added method, a method with a retyped field, or a compile error.Skippedrow now names that type and says to pass the file that declares it, or to compile. Before, it reported an unrelated limit such as "Added generic methods are skipped".User Impact
global usingin one file, editing only the body ofint Measure(Alias builder)in another file reported the method asAdded, so the edit never reached the running method. A method reading a field of such a type was skipped with "Field '_buffer' has a different type in the compiled assembly". A method reading a base-class member from a globally imported namespace failed with CS0103 and took the whole file down with it. A new type whoseMonoBehaviourbase was reachable only through such a using was planned as an introduced type instead of being refused.Added, and warned that edits outside method bodies were not applied when one of its fields had such a type.Patched, the Unity object type is refused as it is when its base is imported directly, the changed const is reported as changed, and an unresolved signature type is named in the skip reason.Root cause
The worker's Roslyn compilations hold only the edited sources, plus the changed sibling sources for the const checks. The assembly's
global usingdirectives were collected from the other source files for the emitted shim source only, never for the compilations that bind the edited files. A type imported only through another file'sglobal usingtherefore bound as an error type. The method's signature then no longer matched the compiled method, the method was classified as added, and everything else followed from that.Changes
New
WorkerGlobalUsingBindingTree. It builds one syntax tree that holds only the assembly'sglobal usingdirectives, leaving out the ones the compilation's own roots already declare so that nothing is declared twice, and appends it to a compilation's trees.The tree is added to all five worker compilations:
WorkerGroupPipeline)RetainedDeclarationStage)IntroducedTypePreparation)SiblingConstDriftCollector)New reason code
AddedMethodSignatureTypeUnresolved. It is checked first for a method that did not match its compiled counterpart. An inaccessible type is not counted as unresolved: the worker binds an internal type of the compiled assembly as an error type whose candidate still names the compiled type, and such a method keeps matching or being added as before. The text is "The method signature names a type the hot-reload compilation could not resolve ('{0}'), so hot reload cannot tell whether this method already exists in the compiled assembly. If the type is declared in another file of this edit, pass that file with --files too; otherwise run 'uloop compile'." It does not get the shared compile call to action appended, because the sentence already ends with the compile step.docs/hot-reload.md: one paragraph on the synthesized tree. The skill reference already lists "A declared return or parameter type cannot be resolved" as aSkippedcondition, so it is unchanged and the generated skill copies need no update.Tests

The last three have no members the self-snapshot test can classify, so they joinSelfSnapshotMethodlessTypeAllowList.HotReloadSiblingConstDefinitionsgains a const of the new enum type, and the test assembly's global usings gain one namespace import.Verification
