Tool Inventory

1. Scalafmt (Code Formatter)

Purpose: Automatic code formatting to enforce consistent style across the codebase.

Configuration Files: - .scalafmt.conf

Version Information: - Scalafmt Version: 3.8.3 (updated from 2.7.5) - SBT Plugin: org.scalameta:sbt-scalafmt:2.5.2 (updated from 2.4.2)

Configuration Details:

version = "3.8.3"
align.preset = some
maxColumn = 120
runner.dialect = scala3  # Scala 3 native dialect
rewrite.rules = [AvoidInfix, RedundantBraces, RedundantParens, SortModifiers]

Current State: ✅ PASSING with Scala 3 native dialect - All files are formatted properly - Uses Scala 3 dialect exclusively

SBT Commands: - sbt scalafmtAll - Format all sources - sbt scalafmtCheckAll - Check formatting without modifying - sbt bytes/scalafmtAll, crypto/scalafmtAll, rlp/scalafmtAll - Format individual modules

Analysis: - ✅ Version: 3.8.3 is up-to-date with full Scala 3 support - ✅ Appropriateness: Excellent tool for automated formatting - ✅ Current State: All formatting checks passing - ✅ Ordering: Correctly runs early in CI pipeline before other checks - ✅ Scala 3 Support: Full support for Scala 3 syntax and cross-compilation

Recommendation: - ✅ COMPLETED: Fixed the formatting violation in VMServerSpec.scala - ✅ COMPLETED: Updated to Scalafmt 3.8.3 with Scala 3 support - ✅ COMPLETED: Configured for Scala 3 native dialect (Phase 5 cleanup)


2. Scalafix (Refactoring and Linting)

Purpose: Automated refactoring and enforcing code quality rules through semantic analysis.

Configuration Files: - .scalafix.conf

Version Information: - SBT Plugin: ch.epfl.scala:sbt-scalafix:0.10.4 (updated from 0.9.29) - SemanticDB: Auto-configured via scalafixSemanticdb.revision

Rules Enabled: 1. DisableSyntax - Prevent usage of certain language features (return, finalize) 2. ExplicitResultTypes - Require explicit return types 3. NoAutoTupling - Prevent automatic tupling 4. NoValInForComprehension - Prevent val in for comprehensions 5. OrganizeImports - Organize and clean up imports 6. ProcedureSyntax - Remove deprecated procedure syntax 7. RemoveUnused - Remove unused code

Additional Dependencies: - com.github.liancheng:organize-imports:0.6.0 (updated from 0.5.0) - com.github.vovapolu:scaluzzi:0.1.16 (removed - abandoned since 2020)

Configuration Details:

DisableSyntax {
  noReturns = true
  noFinalize = true
}

OrganizeImports {
  groupedImports = Explode
  groups = [
    "re:javax?\\."
    "akka."
    "cats."
    "monix."
    "scala."
    "scala.meta."
    "*"
    "com.chipprbots.ethereum."
  ]
  removeUnused = true
}

Note on Scalastyle Migration: - Critical checks (return, finalize) migrated to DisableSyntax - Formatting rules now handled by Scalafmt - Some Scalastyle checks (null detection, println detection, code metrics) not replicated to maintain minimal changes - Existing return statements suppressed with scalafix:ok DisableSyntax.return comments

Current State: ✅ RESOLVED - All Scalafix violations have been fixed - ✅ FIXED: 2 unused imports in src/it/scala/com/chipprbots/ethereum/sync/FastSyncItSpec.scala - ✅ FIXED: 1 unused variable in src/test/scala/com/chipprbots/ethereum/domain/SignedLegacyTransactionSpec.scala - ✅ FIXED: Additional unused imports and variables in 9 other files

SBT Commands: - sbt scalafixAll - Apply fixes to all sources - sbt scalafixAll --check - Check without modifying - Module-specific: bytes/scalafixAll, crypto/scalafixAll, rlp/scalafixAll

Analysis: - ✅ Version: 0.10.4 is up-to-date for Scala 2.13.6 (0.11.x requires Scala 2.13.8+) - ✅ Appropriateness: Excellent for semantic linting - ✅ Issues: All violations fixed - ✅ Ordering: Runs after compilation, appropriate placement - ✅ organize-imports: Updated to 0.6.0 - ✅ scaluzzi: Removed (was abandoned since 2020) - ✅ DisableSyntax: Added to prevent return and finalize usage (migrated from Scalastyle)

3. Scalastyle (Style Checker) - ✅ REMOVED

Status: ✅ REMOVED (October 26, 2025)

Reason for Removal: - Project unmaintained since 2017 (last release: version 1.0.0) - Functionality superseded by Scalafmt (formatting) and Scalafix (linting) - Community has moved to Scalafix for semantic linting

Migration Path: - Formatting rules (tabs, whitespace, line length, brackets) → Handled by Scalafmt - Semantic rules (return, finalize checks) → Migrated to Scalafix DisableSyntax rule - Type checking (explicit result types) → Already covered by Scalafix ExplicitResultTypes - Code quality metrics (cyclomatic complexity, method length) → Not enforced in CI, but remain as best practices in documentation - Other checks (null detection, println detection) → Not migrated to maintain minimal changes; can be addressed in future improvements

Previous Configuration: - Checked 401 main source files and 213 test files - All checks were passing at time of removal - Configuration files removed: scalastyle-config.xml, scalastyle-test-config.xml

Recommendation: - ✅ COMPLETED: Removed Scalastyle plugin and configuration - ✅ COMPLETED: Enhanced Scalafix rules to cover critical checks - Keep code quality guidelines in documentation for reference


3. Scala 3 Migrate (Migration Tooling) - ✅ REMOVED

Status: ✅ REMOVED (November 2025 - Phase 5 cleanup)

Reason for Removal: - Migration to Scala 3.3.4 completed in October 2025 - Plugin no longer needed for Scala 3-only project - Command aliases removed as part of Phase 5 cleanup

Previous Configuration: - Was used during migration to identify incompatibilities - Helped with syntax migration and compatibility checks - All migration tasks completed successfully

Recommendation: - ✅ COMPLETED: Successfully migrated from Scala 2.13 to Scala 3.3.4 - ✅ COMPLETED: Removed plugin and command aliases (Phase 5)


4. Scapegoat (Static Bug Detection)

Purpose: Static code analysis to detect common bugs, anti-patterns, and code smells.

Configuration: - Configured in build.sbt

Version Information: - SBT Plugin: com.sksamuel.scapegoat:sbt-scapegoat:1.2.13 - Scapegoat Version: 1.4.11 (latest for Scala 2.13.6)

Current State: ✅ CONFIGURED AND PASSING - Updated to latest versions (plugin 1.2.13, analyzer 1.4.11) - Configured exclusions for generated code - Integrated into CI pipeline - Generates both XML and HTML reports - Disabled UnsafeTraversableMethods inspection (produces false positives when pattern matching guarantees safety) - Console output disabled to reduce CI log noise - Fixed legitimate issues: 6 critical unsafe code issues resolved in crypto and rlp modules

SBT Commands: - sbt runScapegoat - Run analysis on all modules and generate reports - sbt scapegoat - Run analysis on main module only - sbt bytes/scapegoat, crypto/scapegoat, rlp/scapegoat - Run analysis on individual modules

Analysis: - ✅ Version: 1.2.13 (plugin) and 1.4.11 (analyzer) are up-to-date for Scala 2.13.6 - ✅ Appropriateness: Excellent for finding bugs and code quality issues - ✅ Configuration: Properly excludes generated code directories - ✅ Ordering: Integrated into CI pipeline after formatting checks - ✅ Reports: Generates both XML and HTML for easy review

Note: Scapegoat 3.x is only available for Scala 3. For Scala 2.13.6, version 1.4.11 is the latest.

Recommendation: - ✅ COMPLETED: Updated to Scapegoat 1.4.11 (latest for Scala 2.13.6) - ✅ COMPLETED: Added scapegoat to CI pipeline - ✅ COMPLETED: Configured to exclude generated code directories - ✅ COMPLETED: Fixed 6 legitimate unsafe code issues (4 in crypto, 2 in rlp) - ✅ COMPLETED: Configured to disable overly strict UnsafeTraversableMethods inspection - ✅ COMPLETED: Set console output to false for cleaner CI logs - Review scapegoat reports regularly to fix remaining legitimate issues - Consider upgrading to Scala 2.13.8+ to use newer Scapegoat versions


5. Scoverage (Code Coverage)

Purpose: Measure code coverage during test execution.

Configuration: - Configured in build.sbt

Version Information: - SBT Plugin: org.scoverage:sbt-scoverage:2.0.10

).mkString(";")
coverageExcludedFiles := Seq(
  ".*/src_managed/.*",  // All managed sources
  ".*/target/.*/src_managed/.*"  // Target managed sources
).mkString(";")

Current State: ✅ CONFIGURED AND INTEGRATED (October 26, 2025) - Updated to version 2.0.10 (latest stable) - Integrated into CI pipeline with testCoverage command - Coverage thresholds set to 70% minimum statement coverage - Comprehensive exclusions for generated code - Coverage reports published as artifacts (30-day retention)

SBT Commands: - sbt testCoverage - Run all tests with coverage and generate reports - sbt coverage - Enable coverage instrumentation - sbt coverageReport - Generate coverage reports - sbt coverageAggregate - Aggregate coverage across modules - sbt coverageOff - Disable coverage instrumentation

Report Locations: - HTML report: target/scala-2.13/scoverage-report/index.html - XML report: target/scala-2.13/scoverage-report/cobertura.xml

Analysis: - ✅ Version: 2.0.10 is the latest stable version for Scala 2.13 - ✅ Appropriateness: Essential for measuring test coverage - ✅ Current State: Actively used in CI pipeline - ✅ Ordering: Runs during test phase, appropriate placement - ✅ Thresholds: 70% minimum statement coverage with enforcement - ✅ Exclusions: Comprehensive exclusions for generated code

Recommendation: - ✅ COMPLETED: Updated to Scoverage 2.0.10 - ✅ COMPLETED: Added coverage execution to CI pipeline - ✅ COMPLETED: Set minimum coverage threshold to 70% - ✅ COMPLETED: Configured proper exclusions for generated code - ✅ COMPLETED: Publishing coverage reports as CI artifacts - Monitor coverage trends and consider increasing threshold gradually - Review coverage reports regularly to identify untested code


6. SBT Sonar (SonarQube Integration)

Purpose: Integration with SonarQube for centralized code quality management.

Configuration: - Available via plugin, likely needs additional setup

Version Information: - SBT Plugin: com.github.mwz:sbt-sonar:2.2.0

Current State: ⚠️ NOT ACTIVELY USED - Plugin is installed - No SonarQube server configured - Not integrated into CI pipeline

SBT Commands: - sbt sonarScan - Upload analysis to SonarQube

Analysis: - ⚠️ Version: 2.2.0 (2020) - moderately outdated - ✅ Appropriateness: Good for centralized quality management - ❌ Current State: Not being used - ❓ Prerequisites: Requires SonarQube server setup - ⚠️ Alternative: Could use SonarCloud for hosted solution

Recommendation: - Decide if SonarQube/SonarCloud is needed - If yes: Set up server and configure project - If no: Remove plugin to reduce dependencies - Consider SonarCloud as easier alternative to self-hosted


CI Pipeline Analysis

Current CI Workflow (.github/workflows/ci.yml)

Build Strategy: ✅ Scala 3.3.4 only (Phase 5 cleanup completed)

Execution Order: 1. Compile - sbt compile-all (compiles all modules) 2. Format Check - sbt formatCheck (scalafmt + scalafix --check) 3. Scapegoat Analysis - sbt runScapegoat (Scala 3 compatible version) 4. Tests with Coverage - sbt testCoverage (runs all tests with coverage) 5. Build - sbt assembly + sbt dist (distribution artifacts)

Configuration: - Scala 3.3.4 LTS: Single version pipeline (compilation, formatting, Scapegoat, tests, coverage, build artifacts)

Missing from CI: - ❌ SonarQube integration (optional enhancement)

Integrated in CI: - ✅ Scala 3.3.4 LTS (single version) - ✅ Scapegoat analysis (Scala 3 compatible) - ✅ Code coverage measurement with Scoverage - ✅ Coverage reports published as artifacts (30-day retention)

Analysis of Ordering

Good Ordering: 1. Compile first - Ensures code compiles before style checks 2. Formatting check early - Fast feedback on style issues (includes Scalafmt + Scalafix) 3. Scapegoat runs after compilation and formatting - Finds bugs and code smells 4. Tests with coverage run after all static checks - Comprehensive test validation with metrics

Current Implementation: The pipeline follows optimal ordering with all quality gates integrated: 1. Compilation → 2. Formatting/Style → 3. Static Analysis → 4. Tests with Coverage → 5. Artifacts

Achieved Goals: - ✅ Fast feedback (fail early on style/formatting issues) - ✅ Comprehensive static analysis (Scapegoat + Scoverage) - ✅ Coverage measurement with 70% minimum threshold - ✅ Artifacts published for reports (Scapegoat + Coverage) - ✅ Scala 3 LTS version only (no cross-compilation overhead)


Custom Aliases in build.sbt

The project defines several useful aliases for running multiple checks:

pp (Prepare PR)

compile-all → scalafmt (all modules) → testQuick → IntegrationTest
- Comprehensive pre-PR check - ⚠️ Missing scapegoat and coverage (consider adding in future)

formatAll

compile-all → scalafixAll → scalafmtAll (all modules)
- Applies all formatting fixes - ✅ Good for batch updates

formatCheck

compile-all → scalafixAll --check → scalafmtCheckAll (all modules)
- Checks all formatting without changes - ✅ Used in CI

testAll

compile-all → test (all modules + IntegrationTest)
- Runs all tests - Use testCoverage for tests with coverage measurement

testCoverage

coverage → testAll → coverageReport → coverageAggregate
- Runs all tests with coverage instrumentation - Generates HTML and XML coverage reports - Aggregates coverage across all modules - ✅ Used in CI

runScapegoat

compile-all → scapegoat (all modules)
- Runs static bug detection analysis on all modules - ✅ Integrated into CI pipeline - Generates XML and HTML reports

Appropriateness Assessment

Tools Fit for Purpose ✅

  • Scalafmt: Perfect for automated formatting (with Scala 3 support)
  • Scalafix: Excellent for semantic linting and refactoring (now includes DisableSyntax rules)
  • Scala3-Migrate: Essential for gradual Scala 3 migration
  • Scapegoat: Great for bug detection (Scala 2.13 only)
  • Scoverage: Standard for coverage measurement (supports both Scala 2 and 3)

Questionable Tools ⚠️

  • SBT Sonar: Not being used; either configure or remove

Tool Overlap Resolution

Previous overlap between Scalastyle, Scalafix, and Scalafmt has been resolved: - Formatting → Scalafmt (exclusive, supports Scala 2 & 3) - Semantic linting → Scalafix (exclusive, now includes DisableSyntax rules) - Bug detection → Scapegoat (exclusive domain, Scala 2.13 only) - Migration tooling → Scala3-Migrate (exclusive domain)

Scalastyle removed (October 26, 2025) - functionality migrated to Scalafix and Scalafmt


Execution Time Analysis

Based on CI logs and manual runs (per Scala version in matrix): - Compile: ~60s (initial), ~10s (incremental) - Scalafmt check: ~20s - Scalafix check: ~170s (2m 50s) - slowest check - Scapegoat: ~43s (Scala 2.13 only) - Tests with Coverage: Variable (several minutes, longer than without coverage)

Total CI time: ~5-8 minutes (single Scala 3.3.4 version) - Scala 3.3.4: ~5-8 minutes (full pipeline)

Note: - Coverage instrumentation adds ~20-30% overhead to test execution time, but provides valuable metrics - Simplified to single Scala version reduces CI overhead


Conclusion

The Fukuii project has a comprehensive static analysis toolchain with excellent coverage of formatting, linting, code quality, and test coverage for Scala 3:

  1. Formatting and linting unified under Scalafmt and Scalafix (Scala 3 native)
  2. Removed unmaintained tools (Scalastyle, scala3-migrate)
  3. Integrated bug detection (Scapegoat in CI with Scala 3 support)
  4. Updated tools (Scapegoat to 3.1.4, Scoverage to 2.0.10, Scalafmt to 3.8.3)
  5. Fixed legitimate code issues (6 critical unsafe code patterns resolved)
  6. Comprehensive code coverage (Scoverage 2.0.10 with 70% threshold)
  7. Scala 3 exclusive (Scala 3.3.4 LTS only, no cross-compilation)
  8. Phase 5 cleanup complete (All Scala 2 artifacts removed)

Overall Assessment: 🟢 Excellent - Complete, modern, Scala 3 native toolchain

The toolchain has been fully modernized and simplified for Scala 3: - Scalastyle removed and migrated to Scalafix - Scapegoat updated to 3.1.4 for Scala 3 support - Scoverage updated to 2.0.10 and integrated into CI with coverage thresholds - Scalafmt updated to 3.8.3 with Scala 3 native dialect - Scala 3.3.4 (LTS) exclusive support - scala3-migrate plugin removed (migration complete) - All Scala 2 cross-compilation removed (Phase 5 cleanup) - All static analysis tools now running in CI pipeline and passing - Critical unsafe code issues fixed in crypto and rlp modules - Overly strict inspections disabled to prevent false positive failures - Coverage reports published as CI artifacts for tracking trends - Complete documentation updates for Scala 3 migration and Phase 5 cleanup
