Z118: STALE_GLOBAL_SUPPRESSION

Severity: warning Penalty: 1.0 point Category: governance Auto-fixable: No

Rationale

This rule is emitted when a global suppression rule declared in .zenzic.toml (directory_policies or per_file_ignores) never matched any violation during a full workspace scan.

Stale suppressions mask real configuration intent and violate the Zero-DBT invariant by accumulating dead technical debt.

How to Fix

Inspect the flagged location in the Markdown file and update the content or configuration:

Bad (Triggers Z118)

# .zenzic.toml - BAD: Z405 is suppressed but no Z405 violations exist in blog
[governance.directory_policies]
"docs/blog/**" = ["Z405", "Z410"]

Good (Resolves Z118)

# .zenzic.toml - GOOD: Remove stale finding code from directory_policies
[governance.directory_policies]
"docs/blog/**" = ["Z410"]

Configuration

# Audit and remove stale entries under [governance.directory_policies]
[governance.directory_policies]
"docs/blog/**" = ["Z410", "Z411"]
