Technical details

Set a level for this rule under rules in chaff.yaml. With nothing set, it runs at the level its genre gives it (see By genre below).

For a check that reads meaning, the level is how serious a finding is.

This rule has no limit to count to. A level sets how a finding is marked: relaxed keeps the finding and marks it a step lower.
