Execution depth is not output verbosity

Execution depth is not output verbosity

majordomus://rule/majordomus.depth-is-not-verbosity@1active principle

Rationale

Long output is not evidence of careful work, and careful work does not need long output. Confusing the two produces reports nobody reads and depth nobody controls.

Required behaviour

Keep the depth of work and the length of its report as two separate settings, each taken from the profile.

Failure behaviour

Nothing decides this rule directly, so a violation is reported by nobody; it is the rules that depend on it that decide what a machine can decide and stop or warn accordingly.

Verification

The enforced rules whose depends_on names this one carry the validators, the tests and the CI wiring. majordomus doctrine list shows them.
