Yeah same thing happens with lockfiles and CI configs. You end up filtering out half the list before it tells you anything useful.

I just tried it too and it basically just flagged a handful of 1500+ line files which probably ought to be broken up eventually but arent causing any serious problems.

If it's (like in my case) dependency management, localization or config files, breaking them up will likely only cause more issues. Make sure that it's an actual improvement before breaking things up.

I'd only look at human/AI edited files (i.e. that require some kind of reasoning) not generated ones (where the reasoning is in the generator).

Generation is precompilation.

Entry point is interesting. Lots of scope to become a scary file.
