Clean-code smell scorecard for a method

A per-method clean-code smell scorecard: which thresholds each method exceeds (long method, too many arguments, deep nesting, and more), a 0-100 score, and a pass/warn/fail verdict.

You receive: A reviewed smell-scoring calculator + the passing test report, run on your method metrics.
