v1.11.0 - Configuration-Driven Line Counter

Configuration-Driven Line Counter Exclusions

This release refactors the line counter to use configuration-based exclusions instead of hardcoded rules, making it easier to customize which files/directories are excluded from counts without modifying code.

What's New

Configuration Schema

Added new lineCounter section to config.json with flexible exclusion rules:

• Global Exclusions - Apply to all projects:

  • Extensions: .log, .vsix, .vhdx, .avhdx (Hyper-V VM files)
  • Path patterns: log

• Project-Specific Exclusions - Customize per project:

  • Exact filenames
  • Wildcard patterns (e.g., temp_*)
  • File extensions
  • Path patterns
  • Whitelist mode (includeOnly)
  • Full exclusion (excludeAll)

Code Improvements

• All hardcoded exclusions removed from count-lines.py
• Config-driven exclusion system with wildcard pattern matching
• Better maintainability and user customization
• Backward compatible with graceful fallback

Documentation Updates

• Comprehensive ARCHITECTURE.md documentation of lineCounter config schema
• Enhanced Code Line Counter section with configuration details
• Example configurations in config.example.json

Breaking Changes

None - existing configurations will continue to work with default exclusions.
