Clone Detection: 8 pairs in 42 files (15234 tokens)

 #  Sim  Type  File A                          Lines    File B                          Lines

Key design decisions for LLM-friendly output:

  • No ANSI color codes (wastes tokens, garbles non-terminal contexts)
  • One line per clone pair (compact table)
  • Common path prefix stripped from file paths
  • No configuration echo (user knows what they ran)
  • Compact type column: T1/T2/T3 instead of verbose descriptions
