The variable-declaration-order rule (AA0021) severity is calibrated down from minor to info level in quality reviews because it is redundant with the CodeCop analyzer.

What changed

  • AA0021 rule severity changes from minor to info to stop competing with substantive style checks
  • Rule is purely analyzer-redundant and already covered by CodeCop
  • Aligns with similar analyzer-redundant rules (AA0248, AA0074) already at info level
  • Online evaluation showed false positive rate, justifying the downgrade
  • Text-only change to severity calibration documentation
  • Behaviour changes for users or extensions.
