Static analysis, metrics, and architecture enforcement for Dart/Flutter projects — right inside VS Code.
This extension integrates with dart_sentinel to display analysis results in the Problems tab and provides a visual dashboard with health scores, rule breakdowns, and top offending files.
Features

Visual dashboard — Health score, severity breakdown, issues-by-rule table, and worst-files ranking
Status bar indicator — Quick glance at error/warning counts; click to open the dashboard
Auto-load reports — Automatically picks up .dart_sentinel/report.json when it changes
Run analysis from VS Code — Trigger dart run dart_sentinel directly from the editor
