B44.Standards

B44.Standards keeps the engineering rules used across B44 projects in one place. It packages analyzers, deterministic-build policy, architecture checks, reusable CI, and project guidance so consumer repositories can adopt the same reviewed defaults without copying configuration.

The repository publishes two packages:

• B44.Standards — build-transitive analyzers, severity configuration, engine-isolation checks, source-size ratcheting, and opt-in guidance synchronization.
• B44.Templates — a dotnet new template for a game repository with an engine-free Core project, tests, CI, and policy wiring.

• Keep engine-independent code mechanically isolated from Godot assemblies.
• Make deterministic time and randomness explicit dependencies.
• Expand analyzer enforcement through deliberate version boundaries.
• Prevent large source files from growing while allowing genuine extraction.
• Keep shared guidance synchronized without overwriting repository-specific instructions.
• Provide reproducible, credential-free package restores and CI validation.

Reference the package privately so policy assets affect the build without becoming a runtime dependency:

<PackageReference Include="B44.Standards" Version="0.15.*" PrivateAssets="all" />

The package is conservative by default. Repositories opt into stronger profiles through MSBuild properties such as B44Deterministic, B44EngineFree, B44EngineFreeCore, B44SecuritySensitive, B44RatchetEnabled, B44HygieneEnabled, B44SuppressionBudget, B44WarningPolicy, and B44AgentSyncEnabled. See the package documentation for configuration details.

dotnet new install B44.Templates
dotnet new b44game -n MyGame

See the template documentation for parameters and the generated layout.

• B44.Standards/ — package assets and canonical guidance.
• B44.Standards.AgentGuidance.Tests/ — build fixture for guidance synchronization.
• B44.Standards.Ratchet.Tests/ — build fixture for source-size enforcement.
• B44.Standards.Guardrails.Tests/ — build fixture for the engine-boundary, repository-hygiene, and suppression-budget guards.
• templates/B44.Templates/ — installable project-template package.
• .github/workflows/reusable-dotnet-ci.yml — reusable engine-free .NET CI.

dotnet restore B44.Standards.sln
dotnet build B44.Standards.sln --no-restore
dotnet test B44.Standards.sln --no-build

The build fixtures exercise the exact MSBuild assets shipped in the package. The repository also applies its own policy locally before publishing it.

Both packages share a version because policy and bootstrap defaults change together. Pre-1.0 consumers use 0.<minor>.*; changes that expand enforcement or break a contract move to a new minor boundary. A v* tag runs the release workflow and publishes through NuGet Trusted Publishing with OIDC.
