Add a regression test covering a downloader such as curl.exe whose arguments
contain only resolver placeholder text, ensuring it is not classified as a
critical download.

1913-1934: 🚀 Performance & Scalability | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick winConsider passing the real exception handlers into the StartInfo setter resolvers.
TryResolveFromStartInfoArgumentsSetterandTryResolveFromStartInfoSetterresolve identities withArray.Empty<ExceptionHandler>(). Two effects follow:
- Identity results can differ from the rule-level paths in
ProcessStartRulethat passcontainingMethod.Body.ExceptionHandlers. For a launch inside atryblock, the setter identity may fail to match here and match there.GetCallArgumentProducerMapcaches one map per instruction collection and rebuilds it when the handler list changes. Alternating empty and non-empty handler lists on the same body forces repeated rebuilds.
containingMethodis already available in both resolvers, so the handler list can be derived locally.♻️ Sketch of the change

Lines 2084 to 2085 in 283d6b6
Include ProcessStartInfo.ArgumentList arguments
When a downloader is configured through the standard ProcessStartInfo.ArgumentList collection, such as psi.FileName = "curl"; psi.ArgumentList.Add(url); Process.Start(psi), this scan only recognizes set_Arguments, and the constructor fallback has no argument string to recover. The URL is therefore reported as <unknown/no-arguments> and the new downloader rule remains Medium; associate ArgumentList.Add calls with the launched start-info instance and include their values in the resolved argument display.

When the second argument to Process.Start(string, string) is loaded from a local assigned on multiple branches, this path calls the linear TryResolveCallArguments/TryResolveLocalValue logic, which selects the textually latest store rather than all stores that can reach the call. For example, if one branch assigns a URL and the later IL branch assigns --version, Process.Start("curl", args) is reported with --version and remains Medium even though the other runtime path performs the download; use reaching-definition analysis for the direct argument as is done for start-info setters.
Useful? React with 👍 / 👎.

When a launched ProcessStartInfo has an unconditional FileName assignment followed by a conditional override, skipping the override here allows the reverse scan to return the older assignment as if it were still definitive. For example, psi.FileName = "notepad.exe"; if (flag) psi.FileName = "curl.exe"; psi.Arguments = url; Process.Start(psi) is reported as notepad and misses the Critical downloader path; do not accept an earlier guaranteed setter while a later matching write can reach the launch.
Useful? React with 👍 / 👎.
