# SendToAuditRequestValidator

Validates a `SendToAuditRequest`, which routes a bill for audit review, requiring accompanying note text that is non-null and no more than 600 characters. It accepts an `IRepositoryFactory` via constructor injection, but the dependency is not referenced by any rule in the constructor body, so it currently plays no role in the validation logic.*

## Purpose
- Requires `NoteText` to be non-null.
- Limits `NoteText` to at most 600 characters.

## Context
- Namespace: `SAIF.Services.Claims.Bills.Validators`
- Assembly/package: `SAIF.Services` (packaged inside the `SAIF.SAIFCode.Core` NuGet package)

## Public members
| Member | Signature | Purpose |
| --- | --- | --- |
| SendToAuditRequestValidator | `SendToAuditRequestValidator(IRepositoryFactory factory)` | Wires a `NotNull` rule and a 0–600 character length rule for `NoteText`; the injected `factory` is unused in the visible rule set.* |

## Behavioral notes
- Validation is enforced via FluentValidation's `AbstractValidator<T>` base.*
- The constructor parameter `factory` is explicitly marked with a code-analysis suppression for unused parameters, confirming it is intentionally unused rather than an oversight.*

## Constraints and usage notes
- Requires an `IRepositoryFactory` to be supplied via constructor injection for construction, even though it is not exercised by any current rule.
