Ingestion

Read ingestion results

What a completed ingestion's page shows, and how to check it.

A completed ingestion's page shows what Lighthouse learned about the repository. Open it from the repository's Ingestions tab.

Summary

The top of the page shows the branch and commit that were read, Files analyzed, and Security cards available.

Repository summaries

Repository summaries describe how the repository is built, in five tabs:

TabDescribes
PersistenceHow the code stores and reads data.
RoutesThe HTTP routes and handlers.
Entry pointsWhere outside input enters the code.
ControlsAuthentication, permission checks, and validation.
LibrariesThe external libraries and how they're used.

Each tab can be copied or downloaded. Skim them once. If a summary is wrong, for example it misses that a route requires login, the cards from the same run may be wrong too. You can re-run that section.

Security cards

The Security cards list shows every rule this ingestion wrote. Expand Rule evidence on a card to see why it exists:

FieldMeaning
RationaleWhy the rule matters in this repository.
Enforcement pointWhere in the code the rule is applied, or should be.
Source filesThe files the rule was learned from.

If a card is wrong or too strict, edit or delete it.

Only the latest run counts

A branch uses the cards from its most recent completed ingestion. Older runs stay in the history, but their cards aren't used.
