Reviewing findings
When Detail finishes scanning a repository, all detected bugs appear in a ranked list. Each row shows:- Title — a concise AI-generated description of the issue
- File — the path and line range where the bug lives
- Severity — how critical the issue is, from low to critical
- Introduced by — the commit author who added the offending code, derived from
git blame
Filter by repository
Scope the list to a single repo when you’re doing focused triage on one project.
Filter by status
Show only
pending, resolved, or dismissed bugs — or combine statuses.Security vulnerabilities
Toggle the Vulnerabilities only filter to surface findings flagged as security risks.
Triaging a bug
Once you’ve read the report for a bug, take one of two actions:1
Resolve the bug
Click Resolve after you’ve addressed the issue in your code. Detail marks the bug as
resolved and removes it from your pending queue. You can reopen a resolved bug at any time if a fix gets reverted.2
Dismiss the bug
Click Dismiss if the finding isn’t actionable. You must choose one of the following reasons before the dismissal is saved:
Dismissed bugs are suppressed in all future scans for that repository. They won’t resurface unless you explicitly reopen them.
Dismissals are permanent until manually reopened. If you’re unsure whether a finding is valid, consider leaving it as
pending until you’ve reviewed the relevant code.Stats & reporting
The overview section of the dashboard gives you a snapshot of your repository’s code health:
Track these numbers over time to measure whether your codebase is getting healthier. A growing “outstanding” count alongside a stable “fixed” count is an early signal to increase triage cadence.
Triggering scans
Detail automatically scans your repositories on every push to your primary branch. You can also kick off an on-demand scan at any time:1
Open the repository
Navigate to the Repositories tab and find the repo you want to scan.
2
Click Scan Now
Click the Scan Now button on the repository row. Detail queues the scan immediately.
3
Wait for results
Scan results appear in your findings list within minutes. You’ll see new bugs added to the
pending queue as soon as the scan completes.
