DO NOT USE when the target already consumes an injected interface or built-in abstraction such as IFileSystem or TimeProvider, even if the request says "generate a wrapper"; no new wrapper is needed. Use only when C# source calls an ambient/static dependency and no injectable seam exists: first-time TimeProvider, IHttpClientFactory, or System.IO.Abstractions adoption; minimal Environment/Console/Process wrappers; IProcessRunner; DI registration; or an ambient seam that preserves a static API. Exclude static detection (detect-static-dependencies), migration to an existing/registered abstraction (migrate-static-to-wrapper), one blocked behavior plus deterministic tests (testability-obstacle), and general interface design.

# Generate Testability Wrappers

Generate wrapper interfaces, default implementations, and DI service registration code for untestable static dependencies. For statics that already have .NET built-in abstractions (`TimeProvider`, `IHttpClientFactory`), guide adoption of the built-in. For statics without built-in alternatives, generate custom minimal wrappers.

## When to Use

- After running `detect-static-dependencies` and identifying which statics to wrap
- When the user asks to make a class testable by replacing statics with injected abstractions
- When adopting `TimeProvider` (.NET 8+) or `System.IO.Abstractions`
- When creating a custom wrapper for `Environment.*`, `Console.*`, or `Process.*`
- When a released static API needs an ambient seam because signatures cannot change
