Commented-out code block
Part of Code Quality & Syntax, which counts for 20% of the overall score. When this check fires it deducts 4 points from that category, once per scan, no matter how many places it turns up.
What it detects
Three or more consecutive comment lines that look like real code -- usually dead code left behind.
Why it matters
A block of commented-out code makes every reader stop and wonder whether it is disabled on purpose, coming back soon, or just forgotten. It goes stale immediately and turns misleading fast, and version control already keeps the history if you ever need it.
How to fix it
Delete the blocks; git history preserves them. If a block documents a deliberately rejected approach, replace it with a one-line comment stating what was tried and why it was dropped. If it is acting as a feature toggle, use a real flag instead.
