Two decisions the maintainer made, as rows rather than constants. A vendored tree (vendor/, node_modules/,
third_party/) is somebody else's unit: out of the targets in preprocess and out of the graph through the
frontend's --exclude, which the scan hands to the backend because the CPG seam imports only the standard
library. A test path (tests/, test-*.php, *Test.php) stays in scope -- a test that reaches a sink still
names the sink -- but its regions are not shipped and order after the product's. Measured before the row:
207 of WP Statistics's 357 PHP files were vendored, and 14 of the 67 regions ahead of MW WP Form's CVE
were test files. The position benchmark applies both, so it measures the order the scan spends.
