What it is

What is visible in the shipped code. One signal is not a verdict. The score is the whole weighted set, not any single line of it.

How it is weighted

5 points is deliberately light. This one is a hint, and it is only interesting alongside others.

What to do about it

Load it once. Two copies of the same script means two parses, two execution costs and, usually, two versions.

Where it fires

None of our worked examples trip this one, which is itself informative — it means the pattern is rarer than the tells that fire constantly, so when it does show up it is worth paying attention to.
