Roadmap

This page records directional ideas to align priorities in open-source collaboration (not a promise).

Short term (stability & usability)

richer output formats (e.g. SARIF for quality/security platforms)
a more friendly report JSON schema (versioning + backward compatibility policy)
stronger ignore rules (e.g. .dup-code-checkignore or similar)
finer-grained CLI subcommands (run one detector / output one section)

Mid term (capability expansion)

better Type-2/Type-3 detection: more robust tokenization, windowing, denoising
incremental scanning: cache file/block fingerprints and scan only changes
finer granularity: function/class-level duplicate localization

Long term (deep analysis)

real language AST (Tree-sitter, etc.) and structured clone detection
large-scale indexing/retrieval (SourcererCC-style indexing)
