Transform your VS Code Explorer into a powerful file health dashboard. Instantly identify bloated files, complex logic, and recent code growth without leaving your file tree.
🔥 Why Use This?
Stop "Monster" Files: Spot oversized files immediately with heatmap coloring.
Identify Technical Debt: Complexity icons point you toward code that needs refactoring.
Track Your Progress: Real-time Git deltas show exactly how many lines you've added or removed since your last commit.
Zero Friction: High-performance caching ensures your workspace stays lightning-fast.
✨ Key Features
1. � Instant Inline Metrics
See line counts right next to filenames.
Heatmap Colors: Filenames change color based on scale (Red for huge, Orange for medium, Green for small).

Git Delta: See changes like (+12) or (-3) relative to your last Git commit.
2. 📊 Professional Analytics
Get a "birds-eye view" of your entire project.
Activity Bar View: Access quick stats and top 10 largest files directly from the side panel.

Project Summary: Total files, lines, and code/comment density.
Top 10 Largest Files: Your project's "heavyweights" listed in order.
Line Distribution: A bar chart showing the scale of your codebase.
Ratio Analysis: A pie chart breaking down Code vs. Comments vs. Blank lines.
3. 🚀 Built for Scale
Smart LRU Cache: Results are cached and only recomputed when files actually change.

Throttled Updates: Efficient processing ensures no impact on typing speed.
