Hardcoded log message (ARCH1010)

Retired

This rule has been retired and is no longer checked: the collector does not run it and no new finding carries this code. The page is kept for reference and for findings recorded before it was retired.

When the same log text is hardcoded in multiple places it becomes hard to maintain and risks inconsistency. Extract repeated text into constants.

Incorrect

_logger.LogWarning("Retry limit exceeded");
// elsewhere
_logger.LogWarning("Retry limit exceeded");

Correct

private const string RetryLimitExceeded = "Retry limit exceeded";

_logger.LogWarning(RetryLimitExceeded);

Fix

Move the repeated log text into a const field and reference that constant from every call site.
