Allow this message

Records a dl:ok review of one finding, so it stops being reported without being fixed. Reach for it when a finding is a deliberate, reviewed exception rather than something to change.

Reaching it in the IDE

This is a RIGHT-CLICK action, not a main-menu item. Menu path: "Structure form (right-click a tree node)".

The Structure form's right-click menu is the only place "Allow this message" is reachable in the IDE -- there is no main drag-lint menu item for it.

To reach it: open the Structure form first (drag-lint > Show Structure), then right-click the tree node for a finding and choose "Allow this message".

Running it from the CLI

The feature map lists the underlying verb as allow. From the usage banner:

drag-lint allow <file> --fix-line <L> --fix-rule <id> [--apply]

Records a dl:ok review of one finding; dry-run without --apply.

What it needs

No index required -- allow records the review directly against the given file, without going through a project index database.

Example

Illustrative:

drag-lint allow C:\Projects\MyApp\Unit1.pas --fix-line 42 --fix-rule unused-private-member --apply

This would record Unit1.pas line 42's unused-private-member finding as reviewed, so it no longer appears in future lint runs.
