A concrete starting point
Search for a symbol in source and tests before editing it. Exclude generated files and separate declarations, real calls and incidental text matches.
Define the change
Describe the input, expected output and boundaries that must stay intact.
Inspect the work
Review the proposed edits and any commands before relying on their result.
Check the outcome
Compare actual behavior with the expected result. If a check fails, investigate it before applying more changes.
Source symbol search
A concrete starting point
rg -n 'TargetSymbol' src tests \
--glob '!generated/**'
# Inspect declarations and callers before changing the symbol.The example is a starting point for a real project, not a claim that generated code is already tested. Adjust paths, dependencies and expected behavior to match your application.
