cognitive_complexity 0.2.2+1

Algorithmic Cognitive Complexity calculation and Data-Flow analysis library and CLI tools for Dart and Flutter.

0.2.2+1

• Update the dart-cognitive-complexity agent skill: anti-goodhart 3-tier decomposition rubric with deterministic tier selection via the data_flow CLI, and a gated Tier 3 method-object reference (references/method-object.md) absorbed from kevmoo/kevmoo_skills.
• No library or CLI code changes.

0.2.2

• Introduce data_flow analysis tool and library (package:cognitive_complexity/data_flow.dart):
  • Added DataFlowAnalyzer to extract reaching definitions (inputs), variable mutations, and live outputs for arbitrary statement slices.
  • Added SignatureSynthesizer to automatically generate Dart 3 Record method signatures (({TypeA a, TypeB b})).
  • Added data_flow CLI with agent-first JSON formatting by default and formatted text reports.
  • Hardened slice analysis: pattern assignments ((a, b) = (b, a)), pattern variable declarations, labeled break/continue targeting outside the slice, rethrow whose catch lies outside the slice, mutations of captured variables inside nested closures, and constructor initializers.
  • Added ControlFlowEscapeType.closureEscape, rethrowEscape, and constructorInitializerEscape.
  • Signatures now propagate await for async-ness, use use-site static types (preserving promotion), include enclosing type parameters with their bounds, and sanitize/deduplicate record field names.
  • Liveness now follows loop back edges: a variable mutated in a slice inside a loop is reported as an output when it is read anywhere in that loop, even textually before the slice.

0.2.1

• Broaden analyzer compatibility to support versions 12.x through 14.x.

0.2.0

Scoring fixes aligning with the SonarSource Cognitive Complexity whitepaper (v1.7) and its reference implementation (sonar-java):

• else if chains no longer deepen nesting: branch contents sit one level below the head if (previously each chain link added an extra level).
• switch statements/expressions and catch clauses now receive the standard nesting increment when nested (previously flat +1).
• Local function declarations no longer add a structural +1; like lambdas, they only deepen nesting.

Analyzer coverage and CLI fixes:

• Constructor initializers and parameter default values are now scored.
• Top-level functions named with pseudo-keywords (show, on, ...) are no longer skipped.
• Top-level getters/setters are reported with a get /set prefix, matching class members.
• --fail-on-increase no longer flags newly added declarations (they have no baseline); they are governed by --fail-threshold alone.
• Directory exclusion (.git, .dart_tool, build) now matches whole path segments, so .github/ and similar directories are scanned correctly.

0.1.0

• Initial version.
