fix: Hot reload now patches partial-type bodies that use an internal member of a type the reload was not given - #3194
Conversation
…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.
📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe hot-reload transformer now detects certain internal-member uses from types omitted from a reload. It allows supported receiver-qualified uses to proceed and reports unsupported cases. New fixtures and tests cover same-assembly, inherited, cross-assembly, and indirect uses.

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.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick winCheck 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 internalRead(), the worker reports CS1061. The name-only lookup selectsRead()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.🤖 Prompt for AI Agents

Summary
partialtype is now patched when its body uses aninternalfield, property or method of another compiled type of the same assembly that the reload was not given, for exampleHost.InternalValue(),new Host().InternalField,host?.InternalCall()or an inheritedthis.InternalCall(). Until now such an edit was skipped with a reason claiming that a part generated at compile time was missing.User Impact
Skippedwith "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 onlyinternal.

InternalsVisibleTo, stays Skipped from apartialtype's body and from a brought-back file. A passed file of a non-partialtype 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.partialtype that uses an internal member inside a lambda or iterator is reported as Patched and then throwsMethodAccessException. This gap predates this change and is not fixed here.partialtype fails the file in the shim compile, as before.
