### Metrics

#### File Sizes
| Module | Lines | Status |
|--------|-------|--------|
| HtmlReporter.ts (old) | 632 | Split into 8 modules |
| HtmlReporter.ts (new) | 90 | ✓ Orchestrator |
| HtmlStyleSheet.ts | 400+ | ✓ Styles |
| HtmlHeader.ts | 60 | ✓ Meta tags |
| HtmlScoreSection.ts | 140 | ✓ Scores |
| HtmlDetailsSection.ts | 240 | ✓ Findings |
| HtmlMetricsSection.ts | 160 | ✓ Metrics |
| HtmlFooter.ts | 160 | ✓ Footer |
| **Total** | **1,250** | Distributed |

#### Improvements
- **Before:** 1 file with 632 lines (SRP violation)
- **After:** 9 focused files, each < 400 lines
- **Separation of Concerns:** Each module has single responsibility
- **Testability:** Each module can be tested independently
- **Maintainability:** Changes to one section don't affect others
- **Reusability:** Modules can be reused in future enhancements

### Benefits Achieved

1. **Single Responsibility Principle**
   - Each module handles one aspect of HTML generation
   - Styling isolated in HtmlStyleSheet.ts
   - Structure in HtmlHeader.ts
   - Content in specific section modules

2. **Improved Maintainability**
   - Easy to locate and modify specific functionality
   - Clear module boundaries
   - Self-contained implementations

3. **Better Testing**
   - Each module can be tested independently
   - Easier to mock dependencies
   - Simpler test cases

4. **Code Reusability**
   - Formatters can be used by other reporters
   - Constants centralized for easy updates
   - Validators can be applied everywhere

5. **Reduced Cognitive Load**
   - Developers can understand individual modules
   - No need to parse 600+ lines of code
   - Clear function naming and documentation

## Phase 2: JSDoc Documentation - IN PROGRESS

### Target Files

- [ ] `ScoringEngine.ts` - Scoring algorithms
- [ ] `CodeQualityAnalyzer.ts` - Complexity detection
- [ ] `CoverageAnalyzer.ts` - Coverage effectiveness
- [ ] `ArchitectureChecker.ts` - Dependency analysis
- [ ] `SecurityScanner.ts` - Security detection

### Documentation Template Applied

Each method receives:
- Clear description of purpose
- @param documentation with types
- @returns documentation
- @throws for error cases
- @example code snippets
- Algorithm explanation for complex logic

### Estimated Impact
- 100% JSDoc coverage on public methods
- Improves code quality score by ~3-5 points
- Enhances IDE support and code completion
- Better onboarding for new developers

- [x] Data sanitization
- [x] Configuration validation
- [x] Path exclusion logic

**Eliminated validation duplication:**
- Score range checking (~4 places)
- Finding validation (~3 places)
- Configuration validation (~2 places)

#### 4. Scoring Helpers
