  • Status: Accepted
  • Date: 2026-10-29

Context

Section titled “Context”

Users of a library type using lines for its public types. A namespace per folder (TenantGuard.Model, TenantGuard.Interception) spreads the registration across several, and names the library’s internal layout instead of anything the user looks for. IDEs suggest folder namespaces by default (ReSharper’s namespace check, the IDE0130 rule).

Decision

Section titled “Decision”

The runtime package’s types are in TenantGuard and the test kit’s in TenantGuard.Testing, whatever folder they’re in; the analyzers’ are in TenantGuard.Analyzers. The two packages’ .csproj.DotSettings files and .editorconfig turn the folder-namespace checks off for them (2026-11-01).

Consequences

Section titled “Consequences”
  • One using TenantGuard; reaches UseTenantGuard, the options, the exceptions and the attributes.
  • Folders only group files, so their direction is checked from the symbols instead (0019).
  • The architecture tests check where every public type lives.
