Summary

  • A method or property getter on a partial type is now patched when its body uses an internal field, property or method of another compiled type of the same assembly that the reload was not given, for example Host.InternalValue(), new Host().InternalField, host?.InternalCall() or an inherited this.InternalCall(). Until now such an edit was skipped with a reason claiming that a part generated at compile time was missing.
  • A file brought back to re-bind its active patches is re-applied in the same case instead of being skipped.
  • Uses hot reload cannot patch in place stay skipped, now with a reason that says why and what to change.

User Impact

  • Before: the edit was reported as Skipped with "None of this partial type's source files known to hot reload declares that name: a part generated at compile time is not visible to it ...", although the member is declared and only internal. The edit did not take effect until uloop compile, while the same body on a non-partial type was patched.
  • After: these edits are patched, and the next call returns the edited value. When the use cannot be patched in place (a bare name, a method passed as a delegate, a use inside a lambda, local function, query, iterator or async method, a body where a lambda, local function or query works with the member's result, or a body patched through a delegating shim), the reason says the member is internal to that type, lists the forms hot reload can patch, and suggests qualifying a bare name with this. or the type name, or running uloop compile.

Cause

  • The worker binds bodies in a compilation that imports referenced assemblies through their public surface only, so an internal member of a compiled type does not exist there: the error is CS0117 / CS1061 / CS0103, not CS0122.
  • The partial-type guard added in feat: Hot reload now applies method edits on partial types #3184 reads those errors as a part it cannot see. The guard for a brought-back file skips on any error in the body; it predates feat: Hot reload now applies method edits on partial types #3184 and hits non-partial types as well.
  • The shim compile, however, references the target assembly with every member public, and code copied into the patched method runs without access checks. These uses therefore bind and run there, which is why the same edit on a non-partial type was already patched.

Changes

  • New worker check UnpassedInternalMemberUse. For an error that reports a missing member, it looks the name up in the target assembly read with every member visible, on the receiver's type (or the enclosing type for a bare name). It walks base types that belong to the target assembly and that the run does not declare from source. Types are looked up by reflection name, because the two compilations hold different symbols. It reports the internal member it found and whether the patched method itself runs the use.
  • A use also stays out when any lambda, local function or query in the body has an expression whose type the worker could not resolve. The worker reports no error for a use that follows an unresolved value, such as the result of an internal member, so it cannot tell whether such a closure reaches an internal member. A closure runs in the shim assembly, where that use would throw. The method's own statements still go through, because they run inside the patched method.
  • Partial-type guard: a use that can be patched in place passes, and the guard goes on to the next error. A use that cannot is skipped with the new reason MethodTransformUnpassedInternalMemberOutOfReach. Any other missing name keeps today's reason.
  • Brought-back file guard: the body passes only when every error in it is a use that can be patched in place. Otherwise the guard skips with exactly today's reason.
  • Both guards cover getters too; TrySkipPropertyGetterByDecision now receives the target assembly.
  • For value?.Name the compiler reports the whole .Name member binding rather than the name, so the check unwraps it. This came up when the conditional-access case was made to pass.
  • The new reason also says that a lambda, local function or query that works with a value hot reload could not resolve, such as the member's result, keeps the whole body out.
  • Skill reference scope-and-limits.md gains two Skipped rows. The generated .claude/ and .agents/ copies are regenerated.

What passes and what stays skipped, and the evidence

These are uses of an internal member of an unpassed compiled type of the same assembly. "Measured" means an investigation run with the guards removed.

Use Before After Evidence
Field, property or invoked method written with a receiver (Type.X, expr.X, expr?.X, this.X, Outer.Nested.X, inside nameof) in the method's own statements Skipped Patched Measured: identical to a non-partial type (Patched, transplant, the call returns the edited value). A brought-back file re-applies and keeps the edited value
Bare name X() (inherited internal member) Skipped Skipped, new reason Measured: the shim compile fails with CS0103 and the whole file becomes Failed. The shim qualifies a bare name only when the worker binds it
Inside a lambda or an iterator Skipped Skipped, new reason Measured: Patched, then MethodAccessException on the first call. Closure classes and state machines are JIT-compiled inside the shim assembly with access checks
Inside a local function, query or async method, or in a body patched through a delegating shim Skipped Skipped, new reason From the code: these run inside the shim assembly the same way. Local functions and queries are collected as closures, async methods are state machines, and a delegating shim runs the whole body there
Method passed as a delegate (not invoked) Skipped Skipped, new reason Not run either way, so it stays skipped
A lambda, local function or query works with the member's result (a var local holding it, a lambda parameter typed by it, a query over it) Skipped Skipped, new reason Measured with this PR's tests before the closure check: the worker saw only the error on the member itself and emitted the body. The run reported Patched, and the call threw MethodAccessException or FieldAccessException
The member's result used in the method's own statements (Type.InternalSelf().InternalValue()) Skipped Patched Measured: Patched, and the call returns the edited value

Inputs that are not axes: static or instance members and reads or writes of fields and properties behave the same in the investigation; #1 covers them through test cases. Whether the unpassed type is partial or wrapped in #if does not matter either; two worker tests keep both. Generic receivers are looked up through OriginalDefinition, but no fixture has such an internal member. protected internal, private protected and public members of internal types already bind in the worker and never reach the guards.

What did not change

  • Existing methods of passed non-partial types: there is still no guard, including the gaps listed under Not covered.
  • Added methods still skip with AddedMethodBodyUnbound.
  • The brought-back file guard's reason text when it skips.
  • The worker's binding compilation, which still imports only the public surface.
  • Guard order: brought-back file guard then partial-type guard for ordinary methods, and the reverse for getters.

Verification (local)

Pull requests to the integration branch do not trigger the main PR CI, so the checks below were run locally on this branch.

  • uloop compile: 0 errors, 0 warnings.

  • Red before the worker change: 31 of the new or rescoped tests failed (worker 20, end-to-end 11), and the tests predicted to pass passed. The reason-text case failed until the reason was added.

  • Second round, for closures over an internal member's result (found in review): before the closure check, 8 tests failed. The 6 worker tests saw the body emitted instead of skipped, and the 2 end-to-end tests saw Patched followed by FieldAccessException or MethodAccessException on the call. The 3 pins for the result used in the method's own statements passed. The reason-text case failed until the new sentence was added.

  • uloop run-tests (regex filter), all on the final code:

    • The three target classes all passed inside the two runs below: TransformWorkerPartialTypeTests (60), HotReloadWorkerReasonTextTests (145) and HotReloadUnpassedInternalMemberE2ETests (41).
    • Surrounding unit classes: 801/801 passed. These are every hot-reload test class that mentions the brought-back file guard, the partial-type reason or property getters: TransformWorkerPartialTypeTests, HotReloadWorkerReasonTextTests, HotReloadApplyOutcomeTests, HotReloadCompileFallbackDeciderTests, HotReloadGroupProcessorTests, HotReloadOrchestratorTests, HotReloadToolTests, HotReloadWorkerNoticeAppenderTests, TransformWorkerAddedEventTests, TransformWorkerAddedMemberAccessTests, TransformWorkerBindingSplitTests, TransformWorkerClientTests, TransformWorkerRetainedDeclarationTests, TransformWorkerSkippedWriterWarningTests.
    • Surrounding end-to-end classes: 121/121 passed. These are HotReloadUnpassedInternalMemberE2ETests, HotReloadAddedEventE2ETests, HotReloadAddedMemberInvocationCountE2ETests, HotReloadBindingSplitE2ETests, HotReloadCrossFileE2ETests, HotReloadDefaultSelectionEnumLeaveOutE2ETests, HotReloadFieldOnlySiblingE2ETests, HotReloadIntroducedTypeSameReloadReferrerE2ETests, HotReloadSiblingCompanionE2ETests, HotReloadStaleRowSiblingE2ETests, HotReloadPartialTypeE2ETests.
  • Mutations: each was applied to the committed tree, the classes were run, and the file was restored with git checkout. git status --porcelain was empty after each. In every run only the tests listed here failed. m1 to m10 first ran on the first-round code. On the final code, m2 to m10 were re-run and failed exactly the same tests, and m1 and m11 were run there as well.

    # Mutation Failed
    m1 Drop the closure check First-round code: Skip_..._WhereItCannotBePatchedInPlace_SaysWhy (Lambda, LocalFunction, Query), Skip_SiblingBroughtBack_UsingInternalMemberInsideALambda_KeepsTheSiblingReason. Final code: an equivalent mutation, nothing fails, because the check for a closure over an unresolved value (m11) catches the same forms. With m1 and m11 applied together, 15 tests fail: those 4, the 8 m11 tests, and 3 end-to-end lambda cases (InternalStaticMethodInLambda, InternalInstanceMethodInLambda, InternalStaticMethodInLambdaReadingOwnPrivateField). The check stays so that the rule matches the reason text and does not rely on how error types propagate
    m2 Drop the async / iterator check Same test (Iterator, Async)
    m3 Drop the delegating-shim check Skip_PartialTypeGetterWithALambdaReadingAPrivateMember_UsingInternalMemberDirectly_SaysWhy
    m4 Drop the receiver requirement Same test as m1 (BareName)
    m5 Accept any accessibility Skip_PartialTypeBodyUsingPrivateMemberOfUnpassedType_KeepsTheMissingNameReason
    m6 Stop skipping types the run declares Skip_PartialTypeBodyUsingThisInternalMemberOfAPartNotAmongTheAssemblySources_KeepsTheMissingNameReason
    m7 Partial-type guard passes at the first patchable use instead of checking the next error Skip_PartialTypeBodyUsingInternalMemberNextToAnUnresolvedName_NamesTheUnresolvedName
    m8 Brought-back file guard decides on the first error only Skip_SiblingBroughtBack_UsingInternalMemberNextToAnUnresolvedName_KeepsTheSiblingReason
    m9 Join nested type names with . instead of + Run_PartialTypeBodyUsingInternalMemberOfANestedUnpassedType_EmitsEntry, E2E Run_PartialTypeBodyUsingInternalMemberOfUnpassedType_PatchesBehavior("InternalStaticMethodOfNestedType")
    m10 Accept a method that is not invoked Same test as m1 (MethodPassedAsDelegate)
    m11 Drop the check for a closure over an unresolved value The 8 second-round tests: Skip_..._WhereItCannotBePatchedInPlace_SaysWhy (LambdaUsingTheResult, LambdaParameterFromTheResult, LocalFunctionUsingTheResult, QueryOverTheResult), Skip_PartialTypeGetterWithALambdaUsingTheResultOfAnInternalMember_SaysWhy, Skip_SiblingBroughtBack_WithALambdaUsingTheResultOfAnInternalMember_KeepsTheSiblingReason, and E2E Run_PartialTypeBodyUsingInternalMemberOfUnpassedType_IsAppliedAsEditedOrSkipped (2). The 3 pins still passed
  • scripts/sync-tool-docs.sh --check: the catalog matches the skill tables.

  • go run ./cmd/check-skill-size (in cli/release-automation): no SKILL.md over the limit.

  • Generated copies: .claude/ and .agents/ differ from the base only by the same two rows, and they are byte-identical to the source file.

  • scripts/check-code-complexity.sh (fail on exceeded): 0 Go issues, no CA1502 finding above 15.

  • scripts/check-file-length.sh (fail on exceeded): no file over 500 SLOC.

  • scripts/check-dead-code.sh with the CI arguments: exit 0, PublicCandidate 36 (limit 37), and no new symbol is listed.

  • git merge-tree against the integration branch head after fix: Hot reload no longer patches unchanged methods when it runs right after a domain reload #3195, which also includes fix: Send the compile again when Unity lost the request or rejected it as already compiling #3192 and fix: Hot reload now says to run uloop compile when an added member uses a name generated at compile time #3193, reports no conflict. fix: Hot reload now says to run uloop compile when an added member uses a name generated at compile time #3193 changes only the added-method reason text, and no test here asserts it. The tests have not been run on the merged state.

Not covered

  1. An internal member of a type in another assembly, used through InternalsVisibleTo, stays Skipped from a partial type's body and from a brought-back file. A passed file of a non-partial type is still Patched. This difference existed before and is not closed here: the shim compile publicizes only some references, and the worker does not know which.
  2. A non-partial type that uses an internal member inside a lambda or iterator is reported as Patched and then throws MethodAccessException. This gap predates this change and is not fixed here.
  3. A bare name of an inherited internal member on a non-partial type fails the file in the shim compile, as before.
  4. Generic receivers have no fixture. Internal events and methods passed as delegates are kept skipped rather than patched.
  5. A body where a lambda, local function or query works with any value the worker could not resolve is skipped, even when the closure itself would be safe.
  6. A use that follows an internal member's result in the method's own statements is invisible to the worker. It runs inside the patched method, so it works even when it is internal. If it reaches a non-public member of an assembly the shim compile does not publicize, though, the shim compile fails the whole file.

…type

A run that holds a partial type skipped method bodies that use an internal
member of a type the run was not given, and a sibling brought back to
re-bind its patches lost the same kind of call. These Repro_ tests pin the
expected outcome (the body binds) for each shape seen in the field, with a
control run from a plain type in the same test, plus the member kinds the
investigation needs to cover. They fail on purpose until the cause is fixed.
… type

The worker cannot see internal members of compiled types, so a fix that lets
the partial-type and sibling guards pass such bodies is only safe if the shim
compile and the patched method still work. These tests reload each shape and
call the patched method.

- Run_: straight-line bodies of a plain type are patched and return the edited
  value; siblings and added methods keep a correct value today
- Repro_ (failing): the same straight-line bodies on a partial type are skipped;
  on a plain type, a body using the member inside a lambda or iterator is
  reported Patched and then throws MethodAccessException, and an inherited
  internal method called by simple name fails the file
The plain-type edits that run outside the patched method are a gap
that predates partial-type support and stays out of this change, so
their test goes. The partial-type patch test now covers only members
of the edited file's own assembly; another assembly's internal member
stays skipped from a partial type and gets a test of its own. A bare
inherited name and the other-assembly member move to the skip tests.
The remaining tests are renamed from Repro_ to Run_.
Hot reload should patch a partial-type body or a brought-back sibling
that uses an internal member of an unpassed type in the same assembly,
when the use is receiver-qualified in the method's own statements.
Uses it cannot patch in place (closures, iterator or async methods,
delegating shims, bare names, method groups) should stay skipped with
a reason that says the member is internal, and a private member,
another assembly's member, or a member only a missing part declares
should keep today's reason.

The fixtures gain the members these cases need.
A partial-type body that uses an internal member of a type the reload
was not given, in a form the patched method cannot run (a bare name, a
method group, a closure, an iterator or async method, a delegating
shim), was reported as a name no part of the type declares, which sent
the reader looking for a generated part. The new reason says the
member is internal and which forms hot reload does patch.
The worker's binding never imports internal members of compiled
types, so such a use reads as a missing name. The partial-type guard
took it for a part it cannot see, and the brought-back sibling guard
skipped on any error, although the shim compile references the target
assembly with every member public and binds the use.

Both guards now look the name up in the target assembly with every
member visible. A use of an internal member of a type the run does not
declare goes through when it is a field, a property or an invoked
method written with its receiver in the method's own statements. A
bare name, a method group, or a use in a closure, an iterator or async
method, or a delegating shim would fail the shim compile or throw at
run time, so the partial-type guard skips it with the new reason, and
the sibling guard keeps its reason. Other assemblies' members, private
members and members only a missing part declares keep today's reason.
The skill reference now tells readers that hot reload patches an
internal member of a type the reload was not given only as a field, a
property or a method call written with its receiver in the method's
own statements, and that another assembly's internal members still
stay skipped from a partial type. The generated skill copies are
regenerated from the source.

Priority: ➖ Normal

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Change: Bug fix

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 9f583

A hot-reload edit calling an incompatible internal overload can fail during shim compilation instead of being skipped. This is a bounded case, but overload applicability should be checked before merging.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🔵 Low · up to 9f583

The newly accepted uses remain restricted to internal members of the target assembly and execution inside an existing patched method. No new privilege escalation was established. Confidence is limited by incomplete verification of concurrent reloads and interrupted recovery.

Retained concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — The incremental execution scope is existing selected methods and getters using internal members of the target assembly, including carried-in sibling bodies. These patches execute through the existing Unity Editor workflow; assembly matching is an ownership restriction, not a process sandbox.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — The new recovery path excludes members outside the target assembly, source-declared types and non-internal members. Bare names, non-invoked method uses, closures, async or iterator execution, and delegation are rejected when they cannot execute in place. These controls bound the changed classifier; they do not establish outer caller authorization.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

  • observed — The added sibling-reload test asserts that an already patched caller keeps returning its edited value after another file reloads, whether reapplication reports Patched or Skipped. This covers normal repeated reapplication, not incompatible-overload failure, concurrent reloads or interrupted recovery.

The worker reports no error for a use that follows a value it could
not bind, so a lambda, local function or query that works with the
result of an internal member of an unpassed type passes both guards
today, and the patched method throws MethodAccessException or
FieldAccessException once the closure runs in the shim assembly.

The new cases cover that body in a partial-type method, a getter and
a brought-back file, end to end for a lambda over a local and a lambda
parameter, and pin that a use of the result in the method's own
statements is still patched.
An internal member's result is a value the worker cannot bind, and it
reports no error for a use that follows it, so it cannot tell whether
a lambda, local function or query reaches an internal member through
that value. Such a closure runs in the shim assembly, where the use
throws once called.

An internal-member use now counts as patchable in place only when no
closure in the body has an expression whose type the worker could not
resolve. The method's own statements still go through, because they
run inside the patched method.
The out-of-reach reason listed only where the member's own use sits,
so a body skipped because a lambda, local function or query works with
the member's result read as patchable. The reason now says that such a
closure keeps the whole body out as well.
The skill reference now lists a body where a lambda, local function
or query works with the result of an internal member among the uses
hot reload skips from a partial type. The generated skill copies are
regenerated from the source.

🟡 Minor · Check overload applicability before allowing the body… · UnpassedInternalMemberUse.cs:146-183

Packages/src/Editor/FirstPartyTools/HotReload/TransformWorker~/UnpassedInternalMemberUse.cs:146-183
🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Check overload applicability before allowing the body through.

If a partial body calls receiver.Read(value) with no applicable extension method, and the omitted compiled type only has internal Read(), the worker reports CS1061. The name-only lookup selects Read() and marks the invocation patchable without checking its arguments. The partial guard continues, but the shim exposes the same zero-argument signature, so the shim compile rejects the call. Require the actual invocation to bind to a compatible target-assembly overload before continuing the guard.

Update FindInternalMemberOfUnpassedTypeOrNull to verify that an internal member
from the target assembly is applicable to the actual invocation, including its
arguments, before returning it. Pass the necessary invocation context into the
lookup and continue searching or return null when no compatible overload exists,
so an unrelated same-name overload cannot make the partial guard treat the call
as patchable.
