You can validate source code by checking file size limits of ≤500 SLOC and cyclomatic complexity thresholds of ≤10 per function. This validator analyzes your codebase to detect violations and provides actionable refactoring suggestions with split strategies.

McCabe cyclomatic complexity measures the number of independent paths through a function's code. You should enforce a threshold of ≤10 during code reviews or CI quality gates to identify overly complex functions that require refactoring and splitting.

Automate code quality gate checks by integrating this validator into your CI pipeline to enforce function length limits of ≤100 LOC and file sizes of ≤500 SLOC. It detects violations automatically and outputs actionable split strategies to guide refactoring.

The best way to refactor large files is to use this validator to identify specific SLOC and complexity violations, then apply the generated split strategies. It targets files exceeding 500 SLOC and provides actionable plans to restore modularity and compliance.

Yes, the code quality validator excludes comments when measuring source lines of code. It enforces a strict limit of ≤500 SLOC per file by only counting executable lines, ensuring accurate complexity and size metrics for your quality gates.

Your CI build fails because the validation enforces a strict limit of ≤100 LOC per function to maintain Simplicity-First Architecture. Run the validator locally to identify the offending functions and apply the suggested split strategies before pushing.
