One of possible solutions that comes to me is using of AOP programming concepts. In short, for example in your case, you mark the "fragile" code with some attibute and at compile time check if the type, member function, property... is in a state you intendt it ti be in.

Like a references:

CSharpCornerArticle-2009 (old but still good one)

Rolsyn (compiler as a Service provided by MS. You can write your own small parser of C# or VB.NET code and inject it inside you CI environment.

Hope this helps.
