Sloc Cloc and Code 4.0 introduces a hotspots feature that ranks files by the product of complexity and commit frequency to highlight where attention is needed.
For engineers, this combines two noisy signals into a single score that identifies files likely to need refactoring or review. It also means scc can now surface hotspots without requiring separate analysis tools.

scc 4.0 computes a hotspot score as complexity multiplied by commit count, normalized to 0-100.
The hotspots output ranks processor/processor.go and processor/workers.go as the top files in scc's own codebase.
The feature only counts files present in the current HEAD, so removed high-churn files are excluded.
