Conversation
Content validation previously ran the prose style rules over every line, including fenced code blocks and inline code spans. This flagged legitimate code such as the C# null-forgiving operator (`_.Department!.Name` triggered the exclamation-mark rule after `.` was normalised to a space). - Skip validation for fenced code blocks, tracking the opening fence delimiter char and length so a shorter inner fence does not close the block early. - Blank out inline code spans in ContentValidation before applying the checks. - Report a fence that is opened but never closed as an error, since it would otherwise silently exclude the rest of the file from validation.
