Code Review: Support keyed not in parallel tests within parallel groups

I've completed a thorough review of this pull request. Here's my comprehensive feedback:

✅ Overall Assessment

This is a well-designed feature that enhances TUnit's parallelization capabilities by allowing tests to have both ParallelGroup and NotInParallel constraints simultaneously. The implementation follows TUnit's coding standards and maintains backward compatibility.

---

🎯 Code Quality & Best Practices

Excellent:

• Modern C# patterns used consistently (collection initializers, pattern matching, expression-bodied members)
• Proper error handling with meaningful exceptions (ArgumentException for duplicate constraint keys)
• Clear separation of concerns between grouping, scheduling, and execution
• Performance-focused design with arrays for iteration and pre-sorted data structures
• Comprehensive XML documentation

Good naming conventions:

• ConstrainedParallelGroups clearly indicates the purpose
• GroupedConstrainedTests provides semantic clarity
• Method names are descriptive (ProcessCombinedConstraints, ExecuteConstrainedParallelGroupAsync)

---

🔒 Security & Safety

No security concerns identified:

• No sensitive data exposure
• Thread-safe operations with proper locking in test tracking
• Defensive programming with null checks and argument validation

---

⚡ Performance Considerations

Well-optimized implementation:

• Arrays used for "blazingly fast iteration" as documented in GroupedTests.cs:7
• Pre-sorted test collections minimize runtime sorting overhead
• Worker pool pattern respects maxParallelism limits efficiently
• Minimal allocations in hot execution paths

Performance impact: ✅ Positive

• Additional constraint handling adds minimal overhead
• Grouping logic runs once during test discovery
• Execution scheduling benefits from pre-computed groupings

---

🐛 Potential Issues Found

Minor Issues:

1. TUnit.Core/TestContext.cs:177 - Missing __global__ constant definition

   // Line 177: Hard-coded string should be a constant
   group.Keyed.Add((test, new List<string> { "__global__" }, testPriority));

   Recommendation: Define a constant for the global key to avoid magic strings.

2. TUnit.Engine/Services/TestGroupingService.cs:75,90 - Potential hash collision

   // Lines 75, 90: Using GetHashCode() for priority might cause collisions
   .Select(t => (t.Test, t.ConstraintKeys, t.Priority.GetHashCode()))

   Recommendation: Consider using the TestPriority object directly or a more reliable integer conversion.

Code Pattern Inconsistency:

3. TUnit.Core/Contexts/DiscoveredTestContext.cs:76-80 - Obsolete pattern
   The obsolete SetParallelConstraint method replaces all constraints, while AddParallelConstraint appends. This could be confusing for users migrating code.

---

🧪 Test Coverage Assessment

Excellent test coverage:

• CombinedConstraintsSelfContainedTest.cs - Validates basic combined constraint functionality
• CombinedParallelConstraintsTests.cs - Tests real-world scenarios with database operations
• Tests verify proper timing and sequential execution within constraint keys
• Good use of ConcurrentBag for thread-safe execution tracking

Test scenarios covered:

• ✅ Combined ParallelGroup + keyed NotInParallel constraints
• ✅ Different constraint keys within same parallel group
• ✅ Class-level constraint inheritance
• ✅ Execution timing verification

---

🔄 Behavioral Parity Verification

Critical requirement from CLAUDE.md: Both source-generated and reflection modes must produce identical behavior.

Question for maintainer: Have both execution modes been tested with the new combined constraints? The PR should verify that:

• Source generator produces identical constraint handling
• Reflection mode respects the new constraint combinations
• Both modes maintain the same execution order and parallelization behavior

---

📊 Architecture Alignment

Excellent alignment with TUnit architecture:

• Follows the established constraint pattern with IParallelConstraint
• Maintains clean separation between Core (abstractions) and Engine (execution)
• Supports the dual execution mode architecture
• Integrates seamlessly with existing parallel limiting mechanisms

---

✨ Recommendations

1. Address magic string: Replace "__global__" with a named constant
2. Hash collision safety: Use more reliable priority conversion than GetHashCode()
3. Snapshot tests: Verify if source generator or public API snapshots need updating
4. Documentation: Consider adding examples to README showing combined constraint usage

---

📝 Summary

This is a high-quality implementation that successfully extends TUnit's parallelization capabilities. The feature is well-designed, properly tested, and maintains backward compatibility. The minor issues identified are easy fixes that don't impact the core functionality.

Recommendation: ✅ APPROVE with minor suggested improvements.

✅ Overall Assessment

This is an excellent feature implementation that successfully extends TUnit's parallelization capabilities. The PR enables tests to have both ParallelGroup and NotInParallel constraints simultaneously, providing fine-grained control over test execution within parallel groups.

🎯 Code Quality & Best Practices

Excellent adherence to TUnit standards:

• ✅ Modern C# patterns used consistently (collection initializers, expression-bodied members, file-scoped namespaces)
• ✅ Proper error handling with meaningful exceptions
• ✅ Clear separation of concerns between core abstractions and engine execution
• ✅ Follows established patterns with IParallelConstraint interface
• ✅ Comprehensive XML documentation throughout

Naming conventions are excellent:

• ConstrainedParallelGroups clearly indicates purpose
• GroupedConstrainedTests provides semantic clarity
• Method names are descriptive (ProcessCombinedConstraints, ExecuteConstrainedParallelGroupAsync)

⚡ Performance Analysis

Well-optimized for TUnit's performance requirements:

• ✅ Arrays used for "blazingly fast iteration" as documented (GroupedTests.cs:7)
• ✅ Pre-sorted test collections minimize runtime overhead
• ✅ Worker pool pattern respects maxParallelism limits efficiently
• ✅ Minimal allocations in hot execution paths
• ✅ Pre-computed groupings during test discovery phase

Performance impact: Positive - Additional constraint handling adds negligible overhead while improving execution control.

🔒 Security Assessment

No security concerns identified:

• ✅ No sensitive data exposure patterns
• ✅ Thread-safe operations with proper locking
• ✅ Defensive programming with null checks and validation
• ✅ No reflection or dynamic code execution vulnerabilities

🐛 Issues Found

1. Magic String Constant ⚠️

Location: TUnit.Engine/Services/TestGroupingService.cs:177

group.Keyed.Add((test, new List<string> { "__global__" }, testPriority));

Issue: Hard-coded magic string should be a named constant.

2. Hash Collision Risk ⚠️

Locations: TUnit.Engine/Services/TestGroupingService.cs:75, 90

.Select(t => (t.Test, t.ConstraintKeys, t.Priority.GetHashCode()))

Issue: Using GetHashCode() for priority might cause collisions in edge cases.
