Struct MetricInfo 

#[non_exhaustive]
pub struct MetricInfo {
    pub id: &'static str,
    pub family: &'static str,
    pub long_description: &'static str,
    pub direction: Direction,
    pub skip_at_unit: bool,
    pub scope: MetricScope,
}

Catalog entry for one offender-emitting sub-metric id.

The id is the dotted key the threshold engine emits for an offender (halstead.volume); family groups ids under a top-level metric (halstead) and must match a MetricFamily::name.

#[non_exhaustive]: these are read-only records the library constructs (downstream consumers read fields, never build them), so a new field can be added in a future minor without a SemVer break.

Fields (Non-exhaustive)

Non-exhaustive structs could have additional fields added in future. Therefore, non-exhaustive structs cannot be constructed in external crates using the traditional Struct { .. } syntax; cannot be matched against without a wildcard ..; and struct update syntax will not work.

id: &'static str

Dotted offender id, e.g. "halstead.volume" or "cognitive".

family: &'static str

Top-level family this id belongs to, e.g. "halstead".

long_description: &'static str

Long-form sentence for SARIF rule.shortDescription.text and the Code Climate description prefix.

direction: Direction

Whether a higher or lower value is the unhealthy direction.

skip_at_unit: bool

Whether the metric’s JSON headline is an aggregate across descendant spaces (a sum/*_sum field) that does not match the CLI threshold accessor’s per-space scalar at any interior space.

true for the four metrics whose serialized JSON value diverges from the per-space accessor — cognitive, cyclomatic, cyclomatic.modified, and abc (#441). The aggregate equals the per-space scalar only at a leaf space (no descendant function/closure spaces); at any interior space — the file-level unit or a container with descendants — it is larger.

This flag describes the sum/*_sum aggregate field, which still diverges. As of #958 the wire shape also serializes each of these four metrics’ per-space own value (cyclomatic.value, cyclomatic.modified.value, cognitive.value, abc.value), so a JSON-walking front-end no longer needs this flag to stay correct: it reads the own value directly and emits at every space exactly like the CLI. The Python to_sarif binding was switched to that path in #958; before it, the binding emitted these only at leaf spaces to avoid subtree-wide values masquerading as per-space findings the CLI never produces (#855). The flag name retains its original unit-only framing.

The flag is not derivable from the JSON path string: nexits also serialises a sum field, but its CLI accessor (nexits_sum()) reads that same aggregate, so it does not diverge and is false. The divergence is between the JSON field and the CLI accessor, which only this registry now records once for both front-ends to share (#442).

scope: MetricScope

The space kind this metric’s threshold gates (issue #969). Both the CLI threshold engine and the Python to_sarif binding read this to skip spaces a metric does not measure, so a metric’s file-wide or impl-wide aggregate never fires as a per-function limit. See MetricScope.
