Interpreting the Output

The Z405 finding indicates a UNUSED_ASSET issue.

This error or warning is raised by Zenzic when an image or media asset file exists in the filesystem (e.g. under assets/) but is never referenced by any documentation page. This bloats the repository size. In this specific example: - Scan Type: Asset Sentry - Severity: Warning - Impact: Unused assets bloat the project build and result in a DQS deduction of 3.0 points.

Resolve the Issue

Exit code 1. Delete the unused asset file from the repository, or add it to the excluded_assets list in .zenzic.toml if it is loaded dynamically by the theme.
