This release fixes the Analysis Optimizer's exclusion detection, which previously missed patterns already present in analysis_options.yaml and duplicated them on apply. The dashboard's two separate exclusion lists are now one sortable table with clearer status and impact indicators, plus a quick line preview before applying. log

Fixed (Extension)

  • Analysis Optimizer could write invalid YAML that broke Dart analysis entirely — an unquoted exclude pattern starting with ** (routine for Dart globs) is YAML alias syntax, not a literal string, and caused a real Undefined alias parse error the moment the analyzer read the file. Every written pattern is now quoted, and previously-malformed unquoted entries are automatically re-quoted the next time any change is applied through the dashboard. No action required.
  • Analysis Optimizer failed to detect existing exclusions — patterns with an inline # comment or a stray trailing quote (- **/*.g.dart" # ...) were never recognized as already excluded, so the dashboard kept recommending them and applying created a duplicate line. The reader now strips comments and malformed quoting before comparing, and the writer preserves each pattern's original comment on write. No action required.
  • Analysis Optimizer's "Current exclusions" and "Recommended exclusions" are now one deduplicated "Exclusions" table, with an Applied/Recommended status column, sortable columns, and the chosen sort order preserved across Apply/Remove actions. No action required.
  • An already-applied Analysis Optimizer exclusion that matches zero scanned Dart files (e.g. a non-Dart tool reference) now shows a dash and an explanatory reason instead of a misleading "0". No action required.

Added (Extension)

  • Each Analysis Optimizer recommendation now has a "Preview" toggle showing the approximate line that would be added to analysis_options.yaml, without leaving the table. No action required.
  • Analysis Optimizer now proactively warns when analysis_options.yaml already has invalid exclude syntax and offers a one-click "Fix Syntax" that re-quotes every entry, so a broken file can be repaired without needing to apply or remove a specific pattern first. No action required.
