shell=bash

# Source path for sourced files
source-path=SCRIPTDIR
source-path=lib/

# External sources (follow source commands)
external-sources=true

# Severity level: error, warning, info, style
severity=warning

# Disable specific warnings

disable=SC1090

# SC1091: Not following (sourced file not found)
disable=SC1091

# SC2034: Variable appears unused (often used in sourced scripts)
# disable=SC2034

Rule Categories

Critical (Never Disable)

SC2094: File read and written in same pipeline
SC2095: Add < /dev/null to prevent ssh from eating stdin
SC2096: Script requires shebang
SC2148: Missing shebang

Important (Disable Carefully)

SC2086: Double quote to prevent globbing
SC2046: Quote to prevent word splitting
SC2035: Use ./* to avoid globbing issues
SC2012: Use find instead of ls

Style (Project Decision)

SC2034: Variable appears unused
SC2155: Declare and assign separately
SC2164: Use cd ... || exit
