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: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.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.
| Reason | When to use |
|---|---|
| Not a bug | The AI flagged something that is intentional or correct behavior |
| Won’t fix | The issue is real but your team has decided not to address it |
| Duplicate | Another finding or ticket already tracks the same issue |
| Other | Any other reason — add optional notes to explain |
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:| Metric | What it means |
|---|---|
| Total found | All bugs Detail has ever detected across your repos |
| Outstanding | Bugs currently in pending state that need attention |
| Fixed | Bugs marked resolved |
| Dismissed | Bugs your team has explicitly closed without fixing |
| Repos covered | The number of repositories Detail is actively scanning |
