 **Field reference**
 
-- **`summary`** — before/after counts. `enabledPatterns`/`enabledTools` count everything enabled on Codacy (supported + cloud-only). `issuesByCategory`/`issuesBySeverity` come from the issue overview's breakdowns (apply the `Error→Critical` / `High→High` / `Warning→Medium` / `Info→Minor` level mapping).
+- **`summary`** — repo descriptors plus before/after counts. `languageCount` is the length of `.repository.repository.languages` from `codacy repo -o json`; `fileCount` is `.repository.fileCount` from the same call. Both are snapshots of repo state taken once at startup, not before/after pairs. `enabledPatterns`/`enabledTools` count everything enabled on Codacy (supported + cloud-only). `issuesByCategory`/`issuesBySeverity` come from the issue overview's breakdowns (apply the `Error→Critical` / `High→High` / `Warning→Medium` / `Info→Minor` level mapping).
 - **`toolName`** (used in `toolChanges`, `patternChanges`, `conflicts`) — the tool's **name as shown by `codacy tools`** (the cloud-side identifier you actually store and act on). Note this can differ from the Analysis CLI config `toolId`.
 - **`toolChanges`** — one entry per whole tool enabled or disabled. `action`: `"enabled"` or `"disabled"`. `patternsAffected`: number of patterns in that tool.
 - **`patternChanges`** — one entry per individual pattern change within a tool that stays enabled. `action`: `"enabled"`, `"disabled"`, or `"updated"`. `deltaIssues`: change in this pattern's issue count, baseline vs final. `parameters`: array of `{id, before, after}` for tuned parameters, `[]` otherwise. Do not list patterns that were added/removed as part of a whole-tool change — those are covered by `toolChanges`.
