Adopting on a legacy codebase

  1. See the damage: dscheck report src — totals by rule, worst files.
  2. Accept current debt: dscheck baseline src and commit .dscheck-baseline.json.
  3. Gate the new: add dscheck check src to CI. It fails only on findings beyond the baseline; the run header shows how much debt the baseline is absorbing.
  4. Pay down deliberately: dscheck report shows the delta; when you clean a file, run dscheck baseline --update — prune-only, so counts can fall but never rise.
  5. Exempt what’s exempt: content surfaces via ignore globs, runtime-injected variables via allow globs — visible in config, not scattered in disable comments.
