phpcpd.ini

; phpcpd.ini — phpcpd-next, scanning itself.
;
; The project eats its own cooking, and doing so turned up the one thing a
; clone detector's own repository gets wrong: its test fixtures are files
; that exist in order to be duplicates. A bare scan reports two dozen of
; them, all correct and none actionable.
;
; The ignore markers are the wrong instrument for that. Suppression is
; applied inside the detector, so a `phpcpd-ignore-start` in a fixture
; removes the very clone the fixture was written to prove — measured, not
; assumed: 
;
; UnifiedEngineTest::it_finds_the_duplication_in_the_clone_fixtures fails 
; with "Failed asserting that 0 is greater than 0". A marker there would be
; a test suppressing itself.
;
; So the right notation is the one that says "not program text under
; review", which is an exclude, stated once for the project rather than
; retyped on every invocation.

; The same notation, for the same reason, applies to the locale files. A
; translation is a file whose structure is *required* to match every other
; translation's, key for key — that is what makes it a translation rather than
; a rewrite. Twenty-eight of them scan as one 279-line clone (hr against ro, the
; pair that happened to be adjacent), and the model already distrusts it: the
; finding scores -1.21, the most negative confidence this repository produces.
; It still reports as asserted, because the matched extent opens at
; `declare(strict_types=1)` — the licence header is identical too — and the
; table stratum requires a statement-free array-literal frame. Correct by its
; own definition, and the wrong instrument here either way: these files are not
; program text under review.
