📊 Quality Score Calculation

Sunlint calculates a Quality Score from 0-100% to provide an objective measure of code quality:

Formula

If Total Violations = 0:
  Quality Score = 100%

Otherwise:
  Base Score = (Clean Files / Total Files) × 100
  
  Penalties per file with issues:
  - Critical Security: -10 points per file
  - High Severity: -5 points per file  
  - Medium Severity: -2 points per file
  - Low Severity: -1 point per file
  
  Final Score = max(0, Base Score - Total Penalties)

Interpretation

90-100%: Excellent code quality
80-89%: Good code quality, minor improvements needed
70-79%: Fair code quality, some issues to address
60-69%: Poor code quality, requires attention
<60%: Critical issues requiring immediate action

📈 Performance Guidelines

Project Size Recommendations

Project Size	Files	Recommended Mode	Expected Time	Cache Impact

Medium	50-500	medium	2-8 minutes	70-80% faster
Large	500-1000	detailed	8-15 minutes	85-90% faster
Enterprise	1000+	fast + batch	15-25 minutes	90%+ faster

Cache Performance

Scenario	First Run	Incremental	Cache Hit Rate
New Analysis	100% processing	100% processing	0%
Minor Changes	100% processing	10-30% processing	70-90%
No Changes	100% processing	0% processing	100%
