Interpreting the Output​

The Z502 finding indicates a SHORT_CONTENT issue.

This error or warning is raised by Zenzic when the word count of the page falls below the minimum word count threshold (default is 10 words). This ensures pages contain meaningful information rather than being empty stubs. In this specific example:

  • Scan Type: Content Guard
  • Severity: Warning
  • Impact: Short content indicates poor content depth and incurs a DQS deduction of 1.0 point.

Resolve the Issue​

Exit code 1. Write comprehensive technical documentation to meet the minimum word count, or bypass the file using the governance.per_file_ignores configuration.
