Description
The Daily Regulatory Report (discussion #55519, 2026-08-24) found the Daily Code Metrics workflow (.github/workflows/daily-code-metrics.md) produced implausible day-over-day swings between its first two runs: total LOC dropped 1,249,199 → 885,009 (-29%), test-to-source ratio nearly doubled (0.378 → 0.66), and active-files-in-7d rose 434 → 1,976 (+355%) — all in a single day, with both reports self-describing as "baseline established" rather than explaining the swing. This points to unstable file-inclusion/exclusion logic (cloc config, path filters, or glob scoping) between runs rather than genuine repository change.
Expected Impact
A stable, reproducible LOC/test-ratio baseline is required before these metrics are useful for trend tracking — currently the numbers can't be trusted for day-over-day comparison, undermining the whole point of the daily-code-metrics workflow.
Suggested Agent
New Agent (or whoever maintains .github/workflows/daily-code-metrics.md) — compare the exact file-scoping config used in the two runs (gh run view on the two report-generating runs) and pin down what changed between the Aug 23 and Aug 24 executions.
Estimated Effort
Medium (1-4 hours) — requires comparing two historical run logs/configs to find the scoping divergence.
