docs: add Moq, NSubstitute, and FakeItEasy migration guides for TUnit.Mocks

[thomhurst]

Closes #6948

Summary

• Adds migration guides from NSubstitute, Moq, and FakeItEasy to TUnit.Mocks under docs/docs/migration/mocking/. Each page has a quick-reference table and side-by-side examples for creation, return values, async, sequences, exceptions, callbacks, matchers and capture, out/ref parameters, properties, verification, call order, events, class/partial mocks, and features without a direct equivalent.
• Calls out behavior differences: sequence exhaustion (Moq/FakeItEasy return defaults; TUnit.Mocks repeats the last behavior), class mocks always calling the base implementation, auto-property behavior requiring SetupAllProperties(), and Reset() also clearing setups.
• Documents running both libraries side by side: TUnit.Mocks' global usings clash with NSubstitute.Arg, Moq's Mock<T>/Times/MockBehavior/MockRepository, and FakeItEasy.Times (CS0104), with fixes.
• Adds a "Mocking Libraries" sidebar group under Comparing & Migrating and links the guides from the TUnit.Mocks overview.
• Adds a "Migrate mocks to TUnit.Mocks" route to the tunit agent skill pointing at the new .md pages.

Doc snippet compilation

• TUnit.DocSnippetGenerator: fences on migration/mocking/ pages marked // Moq, // NSubstitute, or // FakeItEasy get that library's namespace imported inside the generated namespace, so it takes precedence over TUnit.Mocks' global usings.
• TUnit.DocTests now references Moq and FakeItEasy (NSubstitute was already referenced).

Validation

• All three pages' snippets compile with 0 warnings / 0 errors against freshly packed TUnit.Mocks packages.
• yarn build succeeds with no broken links or anchors.
• gh skill publish --dry-run ./skills passes.

Note

Separate pre-existing issue: the llms .md output rewrites links to index routes as /…/.md (e.g. /docs/benchmarks/.md on the xUnit/NUnit/MSTest pages). These pages avoid such links; the root cause is not fixed here.

Review

I couldn't run the automated code-review skill, so I read the diff manually. I didn't build the project or run the tests.

Summary: This is a docs-focused PR. It adds migration guides for NSubstitute, Moq and FakeItEasy, a sidebar group, an agent-skill route, and a small extension to TUnit.DocSnippetGenerator. I found no blocking issues.

What looks good

• The generator change follows the existing pattern. The /migration/mocking/ path check matches the /migration/xunit.md checks, and AppendMockingLibraryUsings is applied on both generation paths.
• The using directives are emitted right after the file-scoped namespace. Name lookup there finds them before the global usings, so the CS0104 clashes between TUnit.Mocks and the other libraries go away.
• TUnit.DocTests now references Moq, FakeItEasy and NSubstitute, so the snippets are compiled in CI.
• The guides call out the behaviour differences that matter most: sequence exhaustion, class mocks calling the base implementation, SetupAllProperties(), and Reset() clearing setups.

Minor suggestions (non-blocking)

• The marker regex only matches a standalone // Moq, // NSubstitute or // FakeItEasy comment line. A typo in the marker, such as // NSubstitue, would silently skip the import and surface later as a confusing CS0104 or CS0246 error. A snippet under migration/mocking/ that mentions these libraries but has no marker could instead log a warning or fail fast.
• The path check uses /, matching the existing checks. If SourcePath isn't normalised on Windows, the check silently won't apply there. That's the same limitation as the existing xunit/nunit/mstest checks, so it's acceptable.
• The new Moq and FakeItEasy package references rely on central package versions. Since Renovate manages these, please confirm the entries exist in Directory.Packages.props.

The guides are useful and the tooling change is small and well scoped. LGTM.

Review

Docs-only change plus small tooling support. I found no blocking issues.

• Migration guides: the NSubstitute, Moq and FakeItEasy pages are comprehensive. They state the behavioural differences clearly: sequence exhaustion, class mocks calling the base implementation, SetupAllProperties(), and Reset() clearing setups.
• DocSnippetGenerator: AppendMockingLibraryUsings is a sensible way to resolve the CS0104 clashes, because namespace-scoped usings take precedence over global usings. It is applied on both generation paths. Moq 4.21.0 and FakeItEasy 9.0.1 are already in Directory.Packages.props, so the new PackageReference entries need no other changes.
• Path check (non-blocking): snippet.SourcePath.Contains("/migration/mocking/") assumes forward slashes. If SourcePath can contain backslashes on Windows, the check would silently skip the usings. Normalising with Replace('\\', '/') first, or matching on a path-segment helper, would be more robust.
• Marker detection (non-blocking): the // Moq marker comment is a convention hidden in prose fences. A short comment in the docs contributing guide would stop authors from deleting it by accident and breaking CI.
• Skill and sidebar: the new route and sidebar group look fine.

I could not run the build here. The PR description says all snippets compile with 0 warnings and 0 errors, so please rely on CI to confirm that.

Review of #6951

The Code Review skill failed to run in this session, so I reviewed the diff by hand. I read the DocSnippetGenerator change and the DocTests package references. I did not read the three migration pages line by line or build the docs.

Generator change

• AppendMockingLibraryUsings is scoped to /migration/mocking/ pages and only fires on an explicit // Moq, // NSubstitute or // FakeItEasy marker line. It can't affect other docs.
• The path check is safe on Windows. Line 93 of Program.cs already normalizes SourcePath to /.
• Placing the using directives inside the generated namespace is the right way to beat the global usings that cause the CS0104 clashes.
• Moq and FakeItEasy are already in Directory.Packages.props, so the DocTests.csproj references need no new versions.

Suggestions (non-blocking)

• The marker is an implicit magic comment, and it ends up visible in the rendered docs. Consider documenting it in the generator or in .claude/docs/workflows.md#documentation-snippets. A fence meta attribute would be more explicit if the generator already supports one.
• A snippet that mixes libraries, such as a side-by-side block, can only carry one marker, because the regex takes the first match. The PR says the pages compile, so this works today, but a short comment noting the limit would help future editors.

Docs and skill

• The coverage is good: the quick-reference tables, the behavior differences (sequence exhaustion, class mocks, SetupAllProperties, Reset) and the side-by-side usage notes.
• The skill route and the sidebar group are sensible additions.

Overall this looks good to merge. CI's snippet compilation is the real check for the doc fences.

Review of #6951: mocking migration guides

I read the tooling and project changes in detail. I only skimmed the three new prose pages and did not check them line by line. The skill invocation failed, so this was a manual review.

Overall: The change is well scoped. It adds the three guides, the sidebar group, the overview links and the skill route. It also makes the guides' snippets compile in CI, which is the right way to stop migration docs drifting from the real APIs.

Observations (non-blocking)

1. AppendMockingLibraryUsings (tools/TUnit.DocSnippetGenerator/Program.cs) matches snippet.SourcePath against the literal /migration/mocking/. If the generator ever sees backslash paths (Windows runs), the match fails silently. The fences then compile without the library namespace and fail with confusing CS0104 ambiguity errors. Normalising the path with Replace('\\', '/') first, or comparing against a path segment, would be more robust.
2. The // Moq, // NSubstitute or // FakeItEasy marker is a bare comment, so it shows in the rendered docs and can be mistaken for content. Check that the marker either reads naturally on the page or is hidden by the existing snippet-directive mechanism. A dedicated fence meta (e.g. a title or attribute) would be more explicit than a regex over the source, but the current approach is acceptable given how contained it is.
3. A fence containing both libraries (a side-by-side snippet) gets only the first marker's namespaces, because Regex.Match returns one result. That is fine today, but a comment saying so would help future authors.
4. Moq (4.21.0) and FakeItEasy (9.0.1) are already pinned in Directory.Packages.props, so there are no new version decisions. Adding them to TUnit.DocTests only increases restore size.

No correctness blockers found. Approving in spirit.
