Module code_familiarity
Expand description
code-familiarity analysis — what fraction of SLOC is actively known by
the team’s current contributors.
Familiarity score = Σ_f sloc_f · (Σ_{d ∈ active} k_norm(d,f)) / Σ_f sloc_f × 100
where “active” means any author with ≥1 commit in the trailing
opts.window_days window (anchored to MAX(date) for reproducibility).
Knowledge shares are computed by materialize_knowledge_shares, which
applies exponential decay (Jabrayilzade et al., ICSE-SEIP 2022) and
reviewer credit (Rigby & Bird, ESEC/FSE 2013).
Islands score = % of SLOC where the top k_norm author ≥ 0.8 AND
the second author’s k_norm < 0.2 (or the file has only one contributor).
A file is an “island” when one person holds dominant, essentially
unchallenged knowledge of it.
Verdict: "good" when familiarity_pct ≥ threshold (default 70.0;
overridden by [gates] code_familiarity_min in .codelore-thresholds.toml).
