  2. **Always append `|| true`** to every fallow command. Exit code 1 means "issues found" (normal), not a runtime error. Without `|| true`, the Bash tool treats exit 1 as failure and cancels parallel commands. Only exit code 2 is a real error (invalid config, parse failure)

- 9. **Type the JSON in TypeScript**. When a project has `fallow` installed as a dev-dependency and the agent is consuming `--format json` output from TypeScript code, `import type { CheckOutput, HealthOutput, DupesOutput, AuditOutput, FallowJsonOutput } from "fallow/types"` exposes the full output contract. `SchemaVersion` is pinned to a literal at codegen time, so a major schema bump fails to compile at call sites that gate on the version.

You MAY set `FALLOW_AGENT_SOURCE=<allowlisted-value>` (for example `claude_code`, `codex`, `cursor`, `windsurf`, `gemini`, `cline`) so that, IF the user has already enabled telemetry, your integration is correctly attributed.

Returns importing files, type-only importers, total import count, `used_in_scripts` (true when invoked from package.json scripts or CI configs), and `is_used` (combined import + script signal; mirrors the unused-deps detector so build tools like `microbundle` or `vitest` are not falsely flagged as unused).

Returns the matched clone instance plus every clone group containing it. Supports `mode`, `min_tokens`, `min_lines`, `threshold`, `skip_local`, `cross_language`, `ignore_imports`. Use to consolidate duplication when you need the exact sibling locations |

Address by exactly one of: `file` + `line` (a source location), or `fingerprint` (a `dup:<id>` from a prior `find_dupes` `clone_groups[].fingerprint`, usually `dup:<8hex>` and widened only on rare report collisions). Returns the matched clone instance plus every clone group containing it; each traced group carries its `fingerprint`, an extract-function `suggestion` with estimated savings, and a best-effort `suggested_name` (omitted when no confident name). Supports `mode`, `min_tokens`, `min_lines`, `threshold`, `skip_local`, `cross_language`, `ignore_imports`. Use to consolidate duplication when you need exact sibling locations and a refactor target |
139
+ | `impact` | Read the local, opt-in Fallow Impact value report (`fallow impact --format json`). Runs no analysis: current surfacing counts, trend since the last recorded run, pre-commit gate containment, and (on impact v1.5+) resolved/suppressed attribution. Read-only and `root`-only; the mutating `enable` / `disable` lifecycle is not exposed. A never-enabled project returns a populated `{"enabled": false, ...}` report (never `{}`); branch on `enabled` then `record_count` and recommend the user run `fallow impact enable` rather than toggling it.
