Code heatmap

The code heatmap is a repository view that shows where audit findings land in your source tree — useful when you want to see hot spots at a glance instead of scrolling a flat findings list.

Open a repository from Code Audits, select a completed scan, then switch to the Code Heatmap tab in the repo focus view.

  • Contract treemap — contracts sized by relative surface area; color intensity reflects finding density and severity overlap.
  • Continuous source scroll — drill into a contract to read source with line-level overlays where findings attach.
  • Findings drawer — select a region or line band to inspect the linked findings in context.

The heatmap uses the same finding IDs and severities as the overview and finding detail pages, so counts stay consistent when you move between views.

  • Use heatmap for triage by area (which files deserve a human pass first).
  • Pair it with Understanding findings when you move from exploration to fix-or-dismiss decisions.
  • If the view looks empty, confirm you are on a completed scan — in-progress runs may not have findings to map yet.
  • Findings — severity, confidence, and evidence in list form.
  • System analysis — architecture artifacts alongside findings.
