What severity is GCI0019?

GCI0019 is a Info severity rule. Info rules are informational and do not affect exit code.

How do I disable GCI0019?

Add the rule to .gauntletci.json: { "rules": { "GCI0019": { "enabled": false } } }. You can also override the severity to Block or Warn without disabling the rule. See the Configuration docs at https://gauntletci.com/docs/configuration for the full schema.

All rules

GCI0019InfoCode Quality and Test Gaps

Confidence and Evidence

Flags binary files that cannot be text-scanned and warns when large diffs produce no other findings.

Why this rule exists

Binary and very large diffs can hide real risk from text-based rules. This rule surfaces coverage gaps so reviewers know when manual inspection is required.

Code example

Triggers the rule

+ assets/logo.png (binary)
+ src/Service.cs | 400 lines changed
  // zero other rule hits

Passes the rule

+ assets/logo.png (binary) — reviewed manually
+ src/Service.cs changes paired with updated tests

Configuration

Disable or adjust the severity of this rule in .gauntletci.json:

{
  "rules": {
    "GCI0019": { "enabled": true, "severity": "Info" }
  }
}

See Configuration for the full schema.
