Glossary Updates

Scan Type: Full scan (weekly — Monday 2026-07-06)

Terms Added:

  • GitHubActionsReport: New ## G section added. The Microsoft.Testing.Extensions.GitHubActionsReport MTP extension had no glossary entry despite being a significant user-facing feature. The entry covers all four CLI features (per-assembly log groups, failure/skip annotations, job summary, slow-test notices), the MSTest.Sdk opt-in property, TestingExtensionsProfile auto-enable, and NativeAOT/VSTest limitations.

Terms Updated: none

Subject: [PATCH] docs: add GitHubActionsReport entry to glossary

Add a new ## G section with a GitHubActionsReport entry covering the
Microsoft.Testing.Extensions.GitHubActionsReport MTP extension. The
entry documents all four CLI features (log groups, failure/skip
annotations, job summary, slow-test notices), MSTest.Sdk opt-in,
and NativeAOT/VSTest limitations.

Identified from PR #9641 (weekly full scan, 2026-07-06).

 A specific code component (function, struct, or class) selected for formal verification. Each FV target progresses through defined phases: (1) identified, (2) informal spec extracted, (3) Lean 4 formal spec written, (4) implementation model extracted, (5) proofs completed.

+### GitHubActionsReport
+
+An MTP extension (`Microsoft.Testing.Extensions.GitHubActionsReport`) that emits GitHub Actions-native workflow commands so test runs on GitHub Actions produce a first-class CI experience. The extension activates only when the test run executes inside GitHub Actions (`GITHUB_ACTIONS=true`) and the `--report-gh` master switch is passed; it no-ops otherwise. When active, it provides four independently toggleable features:
+
+- **Per-assembly log groups** (`--report-gh-groups`): emits `::group::`/`::endgroup::` workflow commands so each test assembly's output is collapsed by default in the runner UI.
+- **Failure and skip annotations**
