Rule Catalog

Logic Guard ships with 143 baseline rules across twelve sections. Every rule has a stable identifier, a default severity (Critical, Warning, or Info), and a title describing what it detects. Every rule can be enabled, disabled, or reclassified per project, see Customization.

Severity guide:

• Critical: the artifact is broken or unsafe. It will fail, behave incorrectly, or expose a security or integrity risk.
• Warning: a real quality or maintainability problem that should be addressed.
• Info: a convention or hygiene observation.
