Document the **Default Severity** of all rules

It would be great if the documentation at https://alcops.dev/docs/analyzers/ would specify the Default Severity for each code analyzer rule.

Maybe I’m not understanding your question, but I believe there is already a “Severity” column for each rule? Let me know if I’m missing something.

I see, it's in a list on a dedicated page for each 'cop'. I didn't think to look there. I was looking at the rule-specific pages (that are also opened when you click om the rule ID in VS Code).

That is actually a very good point you raise. I need to think about a consistent set of metadata properties for every rule. A first quick draft could be something like this.

Property	Values	Remarks
Default Severity	Error / Hidden / Info / Warning / None	Default diagnostic severity
Category	Design / Naming / Style / Usage / Performance / Security	The Roslyn framework requires a category, where I don't think it's shown by the AL Language. I do assign there for each rule, but haven't it given much attention as the different cops already steer in a direction. It could be helpful to categorise rules within a specific cop, as these a string the values can be easily defined.
Code Action available	Yes / No	Indicates whether a Quick Fix or Refactoring is provided.
Code Action type	QuickFix / Refactor	Specifies the type of code action offered.
Supports FixAll	Yes / No	Indicates whether the fix can be applied to multiple occurrences in a document, project, or solution.
