# SonarQube Static Analysis & Quality Gate Enforcement

Integrates SonarQube / SonarCloud: configuring sonar-project.properties, running sonar-scanner in CI, setting Quality Gate standards (0 new bugs, >80% coverage on new code), and failing PRs on quality gate failure.

## When to Invoke
Invoke this skill whenever you need to:
- setup sonarqube scanner
- configure quality gate sonarqube
- sonar-project.properties

## Execution SOP & Rules
1. Create sonar-project.properties defining sonar.projectKey, sonar.sources, and test report paths.
2. Execute sonar-scanner inside CI build step with SONAR_TOKEN authentication.
3. Configure SonarQube Quality Gate to fail the build step if status is ERROR.
4. Review interactive pull request decoration comments showing coverage deltas.

## Verification Checklist
- Run local linting, syntax validation, and type-checks before reporting completion.
- Ensure all created or modified files adhere to workspace boundaries and avoid uncommitted secrets.
- Verify tests or build commands exit cleanly with return code 0.
