Baselines

bonsai-lint --write-baseline src/

Records everything currently above the threshold as accepted. Later runs fail only on scores that got worse, or on units the baseline has never seen. An unknown key is treated as a regression, never as an acceptance. A renamed function is reported rather than silently inheriting someone else’s amnesty. Entries that match nothing are reported too, so a baseline cannot quietly rot into a permanent exemption, but only by a scan that covered the whole domain, so a single file from a pre-commit hook or an editor buffer never cries stale.

Without a bonsai-lint.toml, the directory holding the baseline is the project root, so bonsai-lint --write-baseline . followed by bonsai-lint src/Foo.php finds the same entries.
