New UX for Gerrit code analysis

Hi all,

TL;DR: The UX for showing code analysis results in Gerrit has changed, but the findings are unchanged. This enables suggested fixes and soon showing results in Cider G.

What

We've moved all static analysis from Tricium to AyeAye to converge systems and take advantage of additional AyeAye features like suggested fixes and integrations to bring these findings into Cider G. All the same analyzers will continue to run on your CLs, but there are some UX changes.

(new code findings UX)

Notably:

• Findings are no longer comments, but rendered inline improving visibility and providing support for suggested fixes.

• Email notifications will no longer be sent for code findings

• Suppressing findings now requires adding a footer to the commit message instead of clicking the “Not Useful” button. We have an open feature request to further improve this UX. If that impacts you, please +1 on the bug.

If you have any questions or feedback, please let us know or file a bug.

Thanks,

Yiwei, on behalf of the PDEIO DX source team
