impact-gate Measure and gate the structural decay a change introduces. Run it as a standalone CLI, a git pre-commit hook, or a plugin in GitHub, GitLab, and Jenkins CI. Website: https://impactgate.officefloor.net Structural decay is complexity accreting into existing structures. A god-method grows another branch. A god-class gains another method. The gate scores a change against a base (main by default) with the change-impact measure: impact = files_changed * Σ max(WMC_other, 1) * CC * Δlines (over changed functions) WMC_other is the complexity already in the container you are editing. It is measured on the pre-change state. So importing a brand-new file or class is cheap. Nothing was there before. Piling onto an already-heavy class is expensive. That is the decay signal.
