ARCHITECTURE.md Outdated

@copilot - According to this document, the OnExit fires before the transition commands. I would expect the OnExit to only fire when the Transition to the new state has occurred. In this example, it is after the TransitionCommand1 and TransitionCommand2. In the case of the OnExit yielding a command, then the change would only be in the order of the commands returned (which may still be important). However, OnExit is a data manipulation, then order is important.
If there was a ModifyData after the TransitionTo, I would also expect this to occur before the OnExit.
If the code does not behave this way, please add tests describing the behaviour I've described, and check for other tests that are currently describing different behaviour and amend them. Then implement the change.

The code already behaves correctly! The issue was only in the ARCHITECTURE.md documentation, which incorrectly stated that OnExit fires before transition commands.

Actual behavior (verified by tests):

  1. Transition commands (Execute)
  2. OnExit commands
  3. OnEntry commands

Fixed the documentation in commit 48d535f. The existing tests in StateMachineHierarchyTests.cs already verify this correct order:

  • Fire_UsesParentTransitions verifies: Transition → Exit → Exit(parent) → Entry
  • Fire_DoesNotRunParentExitEntryBetweenChildren verifies: Transition → Exit → Entry

- Correct execution order to match actual implementation
- Guards and transition commands execute before OnExit
- OnExit fires after transition commands (not before)
- Actual order: Guards → Conditionals → Data → Transition → Exit → Entry
- Example updated: [TransitionCmd1, TransitionCmd2, Exit, Entry]
- Tests already verify correct behavior in StateMachineHierarchyTests

@copilot - What does BFS mean? They say that abbreviations help the writer, not the reader.

Fixed in commit 0a6d800. Changed "BFS" to "Breadth-first search" for better readability.

// BFS from initial state to find all reachable states
var reachable = FindReachableStates(initialState);

@copilot - I'm not sure how useful this code snippet is because it isn't something that the consumer of the library will encounter, right? If this is internal code then I'm not sure it's clear that it is.

Good point! Fixed in commit b23382c. Replaced internal code snippets with user-facing descriptions that explain what validation errors/warnings they'll see. The section now focuses on the experience of using the library rather than showing internal implementation details.

- Change "BFS" to "Breadth-first search" for clarity
- Makes documentation more accessible to readers
- Addresses maintainer feedback on abbreviations

- Replace internal code snippets with user-facing descriptions
- Focus on what errors/warnings users will see
- Make it clear these are internal validation checks
- Improve readability by removing pseudo-code that consumers don't write

### Custom Guard Evaluators

@copilot - How can such a Guard Evaluator be used? Please provide an example of usage.

The IGuardEvaluator interface doesn't actually exist in the library - it was a misleading example. Removed in commit e8d454c. Guards are implemented as lambda functions passed to the .Guard() method (e.g., .Guard((state, data) => data.IsAuthorized)). The Extension Points section now only shows actual extensibility options.

- Remove misleading Custom Guard Evaluators section
- IGuardEvaluator interface doesn't exist in the library
- Guards are implemented as lambda functions via .Guard() method
- Keep only actual extension points (Custom State Types, Custom Analysis Rules)

- Remove Custom Analysis Rules section (StateMachineAnalyzer is internal)
- Remove Future Architecture section per maintainer request
- Keep only actual user-facing extension point (Custom State Types)
- Extension Points section now only shows what users can actually do

- Clarify "Multiple transitions" error is detected at Build time
- Fix guard examples: show actual wrong vs right patterns
- Correct explanation: guards evaluate at Fire() time, not build time
- Issue was about closure captures, not evaluation timing
- Add "When detected: Build time" label for clarity
