What it reads

What git tracks.

Tier

Serious: worth interrupting other work for.

The tier bounds how severe a rule may be; its category bounds the tier.

Change it

Turn it off, or make it blocking, without touching the code it flags:

rust-doctor --rule rust_doctor::repo::hardcoded_credential=off .
rust-doctor --rule rust_doctor::repo::hardcoded_credential=error .

Set it once in rust-doctor.toml
