[efficiency-improver] Monthly Activity 2026-08

[github-actions]

Activity for August 2026

Suggested Actions for Maintainer

• Review issue Tests are sent back as in-progress and passed #5348: Tests are sent back as in-progress and passed — Efficiency Improver analysed and provided implementation in June; no maintainer follow-up yet - View

Energy Efficiency Backlog

Priority	Focus Area	Opportunity	Estimated Impact
LOW	Code-Level	OpenTelemetry: Properties.OfType() in yield — needs non-iterator helper	Negligible without profiling evidence
LOW	Code-Level	TerminalTestReporter.TotalTests: _assemblies.Values.Sum() on every access	Negligible — called only for display
LOW	Code-Level	DynamicDataShouldBeValidAnalyzer: candidateMethods.Where().ToImmutableArray() per [DynamicData] attribute	Marginal — triggered once per attribute per compilation

All HIGH and MEDIUM items identified in previous months have been implemented (merged PRs #9514, #9617, #9714) or implemented directly by maintainers. The codebase is well-optimised in its hot paths.

Discovered Commands

Command	Purpose
./build.sh	Full restore + build (installs SDK to .dotnet/ first)
./build.sh -test	Run unit tests
./build.sh -pack	Build + produce NuGet packages
./build.sh -pack -test -integrationTest	Full pipeline incl. acceptance tests

Note: Repo-local SDK at .dotnet/dotnet (Arcade-provisioned). The required SDK version (11.0.100-preview.7.26359.110) is not available in the agent environment, so build commands cannot be executed in CI.
