What Hotspots does
description: Show file hotspots (high churn x complexity) for review prioritization
Identify the files most likely to harbor defects:
- Run:
bbu analyze-repo --output=json --days=90 --no-ci - From the JSON
filesarray, take the top 10 byhotspot_score. - Present a table: path, commits, complexity, hotspot_score, bugfix_commits.
- For the top 3, read the file and name the specific complexity driver (deep nesting, long functions, mixed responsibilities).
- Suggest the singl
