Compile Guardrails

Last Updated: 2026-04-05

Preventive rules to reduce repeat compile failures.

Core Prevention Rules

• Verify NT8 signatures in official docs before adding/changing any protected override.
• Keep NinjaScript edits within task scope and allowed file boundaries.
• Enforce C# 5.0 syntax only; reject C# 6+ constructs.
• Keep managed order sequence correct (stop/target before entry on same bar).
• Guard OnBarUpdate by BarsInProgress and bar readiness.
• Do not use unsupported attributes/types/enums without confirmation.

Verification Gates

• Run .\verify-build.bat after changes.
• Run focused tests for changed area.
• If NinjaScript touched, compile in NT8 NinjaScript Editor.

Update Rule

• Add a new guardrail entry whenever a compile issue reveals a missing prevention rule.
