Adds a new cmscout --stats <file> mode that parses a single source file and prints per-semantic-block statistics, as a first step toward complexity linting and patch-level complexity assessment.

Records

Line-oriented, one data point per record; every record carries file:start-end, and comment records carry the fully qualified function name:

# cmscout stats: testdata/new/knob.tsx  (tsx, 0 parse errors)
block class Knob  at testdata/new/knob.tsx:6-43  lines=38 chars=751  prefix_lines=0 prefix_chars=0  methods=6
block method Knob.handleUpdate  at testdata/new/knob.tsx:29-34  lines=6 chars=144  prefix_lines=0 prefix_chars=0  branches=1
  comment inside=Knob.handleUpdate  at testdata/new/knob.tsx:31  lines=1 chars=22

Statistics

  • Block size in lines/chars, for every extracted block
  • Doc-comment prefix size (prefix_lines/prefix_chars) for functions and classes, with per-comment prefix_of= records
  • Inline comment sizes with per-comment inside= records; comments longer than --max-comment-lines (default 5, 0 disables) get an exceeds= flag
  • Container method counts (methods= on classes/interfaces/namespaces)
  • Best-effort branch counts (branches=) as a cyclomatic complexity precursor, covering if/elif/loops/ternary/case labels/catch/&&/\|\| across TS/JS/Go/Bash/C/C++ (verified per grammar; plain else adds 0)

Wiring

  • cmscout --stats [--max-comment-lines N] [--old <name>] [-B <path>] <file>; stdin via --old <name> -, mirroring the diff-mode -B/--old redirection
  • parseAndExtract refactored to parseAndExtractWithAST (extraction behavior unchanged; diff/report paths untouched)
  • Prefix rules mirror AttachPrefixComments (own-line comments, no blank line); details in doc/stats.md
  • Tests: pkg/stats unit tests per language + cmd/cmscout CLI tests; make test, go vet, gofmt all clean

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Added cmscout --stats single-file mode for source files, standard input, and redirected content.
    • Reports semantic-block metrics, qualified names, method and branch counts, comments, complexity data, and parse metadata.
    • Added configurable comment-length thresholds and support for multiple source languages.
  • Documentation
    • Added command usage, output format, metric definitions, options, and examples.
  • Tests
    • Added coverage for supported languages, input methods, formatting, comment limits, validation, and error handling.

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The PR adds cmscout --stats for single-file source analysis. It introduces semantic-block metrics, comment ownership and limits, branch and method counts, complexity analysis, formatted report output, input validation, AST cleanup, tests, and documentation.

Changes

Single-file statistics

Layer / File(s) Summary
Statistics model and complexity analysis
pkg/stats/stats.go, pkg/stats/complexity.go, pkg/stats/*_test.go
Defines report structures and analyzes semantic blocks, comments, qualified names, methods, branches, and complexity across supported languages. Tests cover language-specific syntax, block boundaries, comment ownership, ordering, immutability, and repeatability.
Statistics report rendering
pkg/stats/render.go, pkg/stats/stats_test.go
Renders ordered file, block, and comment records with source locations and conditional metrics. Rendering tests verify the formatted output.
CLI input and parser integration
cmd/cmscout/main.go, cmd/cmscout/stats.go, cmd/cmscout/stats_test.go
Adds --stats and --max-comment-lines, supports file, stdin, and redirected-content input, validates inputs, manages AST cleanup, and invokes analysis and rendering.
Statistics documentation
README.md, doc/stats.md
Documents output records, comment ownership, complexity rules, limitations, and supported CLI input forms.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to ebc18

The statistics documentation misrenders two complexity rules. The implementation remains mergeable, with a small documentation fix recommended.

Review feedback addressed in 05bfcd2:

  • No actionable review comments — nothing else to fix; CI is green and the PR is mergeable.
  • Docstring-coverage warning: added one-line doc comments to the touched non-test functions missing them (run, printUsage, parseAndExtract, parseAndExtractLanguageWithAST in cmd/cmscout/main.go), matching the file's existing one-liner style. All new pkg/stats API and helpers were already documented.

The remaining coverage gap is exclusively Test* functions in the two new test files, which are intentionally left undocumented: no test file in this repo carries Test docstrings (e.g. pkg/extract/extractor_test.go, cmd/cmscout/flags_test.go), so adding them here would deviate from tree convention. Treat the residual warning as advisory.

Parses one source file and prints per-semantic-block statistics:
block sizes (lines/chars), doc-comment prefix sizes, inline comment
sizes with --max-comment-lines flagging, container method counts,
and best-effort branch counts as a cyclomatic complexity precursor.
Every record carries file:line and comments carry the fully
qualified function name for later linting and patch-complexity stages.

and parseAndExtractLanguageWithAST, addressing the
docstring-coverage warning on PR #1. Test functions stay
undocumented per repo convention (no Test docstrings
anywhere in the tree).
The branch precursor counted nested bodies and default labels, missed language-specific decisions, and assigned no base path. Find each callable in the AST, keep its decisions separate, and report complexity as one plus its decision count.

Cover all eight supported language modes, including local lambdas and generators. Handle short-circuit expressions, optional chains, defaults, range loops, case alternatives, and Go select. Leave declarations, macros, and broken functions unscored. Add missing callable records only to the stats document.

Document the research, counting rules, and source-analysis limits. Add regression tests across the pinned grammars and verify that analysis preserves the diff document.

Tested: make test, make vet, git diff --check, and the stats CLI on testdata/new/knob.tsx.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Escape the pipes in both table rows. GitHub renders doc/stats.md directly for users linked from README.md. Unescaped pipes split the cells and misalign the 1 per operator values.
