To fix the problem, we need to rename the local variable parent in the Emit method to avoid shadowing the member variable parent. This will make the code clearer and reduce the risk of confusion or bugs. The best way to do this is to choose a new name for the local variable that accurately describes its purpose without conflicting with the member variable name.
In this case, we can rename the local variable parent to parentEntity in the Emit method. This change will be made in the file csharp/extractor/Semmle.Extraction.CSharp/Entities/TypeMention.cs on line 121 and any other lines within the Emit method that reference this variable.

To fix the problem, we need to rename the local variable type in the Emit method to avoid shadowing the member variable type. This will make the code clearer and reduce the risk of errors. The best way to fix this is to choose a new name for the local variable that accurately describes its purpose and does not conflict with any existing member variables.
In this case, we can rename the local variable type to localType in the Emit method. This change will be made in the file csharp/extractor/Semmle.Extraction.CSharp/Entities/TypeMention.cs on lines 121 and 123.
