Description

Refactor RequestDelegateFactory to handle parameter binding failures more flexibly:

  • Execute filter pipelines on failure if filters are present and return type is ValueTask<object?>, allowing filters to observe/modify the 400 response.
  • Short-circuit with a 400 response if no filters are present.
  • Simplify logic using Expression.Condition and Expression.Block.

Add new test cases in RouteHandlerEndpointRouteBuilderExtensionsTest.cs:

  • Validate behavior with/without filters and custom responses.
  • Ensure handlers are not executed on binding failure.

Fixes #64341

Refactor `RequestDelegateFactory` to handle parameter binding
failures more flexibly:
- Execute filter pipelines on failure if filters are present
  and return type is `ValueTask<object?>`, allowing filters
  to observe/modify the 400 response.
- Short-circuit with a 400 response if no filters are present.
- Simplify logic using `Expression.Condition` and
  `Expression.Block`.

Add new test cases in `RouteHandlerEndpointRouteBuilderExtensionsTest.cs`:
- Validate behavior with/without filters and custom responses.
- Ensure handlers are not executed on binding failure.

Pull request overview

This pull request refactors parameter binding failure handling in RequestDelegateFactory to provide more flexible filter integration. The key change allows endpoint filters to observe and potentially customize 400 Bad Request responses when parameter binding fails, rather than always short-circuiting before filters run.

Key Changes:

  • Unified the parameter binding failure logic using Expression.Condition instead of separate code paths for filtered vs non-filtered scenarios
  • When filters are present and return type is ValueTask<object?>, the filter pipeline executes on binding failure, allowing filters to customize the 400 response
  • Added comprehensive test coverage for binding failure scenarios with and without filters

File Description
src/Http/Http.Extensions/src/RequestDelegateFactory.cs Refactored CreateParamCheckingResponseWritingMethodCall to conditionally run filter pipelines on parameter binding failures, simplifying the code with a unified Expression.Condition approach
src/Http/Routing/test/UnitTests/Builder/RouteHandlerEndpointRouteBuilderExtensionsTest.cs Added 4 test cases validating parameter binding failure behavior: with/without filters, with custom filter responses, and with validation filters

@marcominerva To sanity check this, can you add tests for the short-circuiting logic in the infrastructure that is shared between RDG/RDF? That'll allow us to confirm that the behavior is the same across runtime and compile-time generated handler implementations.

The shared tests are implemented here.

This confirm that the behavior is the same across runtime and compile-time generated handler implementations.

I hope this PR will be considered for .NET 11, as I believe it is an important fix.
