MA0196 was reporting
<inheritdoc />on constructors even in cases where constructor documentation is effectively inherited from a base constructor with the same signature. This created noise compared to the behavior users see in Visual Studio.This change updates MA0196 to treat constructors as inheriting members when their signature matches a constructor on the base type.
What changed
InheritdocShouldBeUsedOnInheritingMemberAnalyzerto allow constructor<inheritdoc />when a base constructor has the same signature.paramsshape.docs/Rules/MA0196.mdto document the constructor behavior and include an example.Validation
