File listings should rank consequence
A few paths matter far more than the raw count suggests.
That is the right abstraction for a security person.
Files Meaning Layer
Operator Brief
12 file paths matter
A very small fraction of the file inventory carries almost all the company consequence in the current story.

Why Borrow This Shape
Raw File Inventory
Path, extension, category, sensitivity, sessions, and access counts.
| Path | Ext | Category | Sensitive | Access count |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| /home/alice/projects/api/src/auth.ts | .ts | source | yes | 12 |
| /home/alice/.env | .env | config | yes | 2 |
| /home/bob/projects/infra/terraform/main.tf | .tf | infra | yes | 7 |
Why Files Matter
A few paths matter far more than the raw count suggests.
That is the right abstraction for a security person.
The page should quickly say which repo or service turns a path into customer, auth, or deploy consequence.
This helps the operator orient immediately.
The path matters because of the repo, sessions, credentials, and outbound activity nearby.
That is richer than a path-and-bytes table.
Priority Queue
Credential-adjacent auth-service path tied to the main high-signal session lane.
Why It Matters
Best starting point for repo-backed company-consequence interpretation.
Less sensitive but still explanatory context.
Why It Matters
Useful supporting path once the main file story is clear.
Large in count, low in first-read value.
Why It Matters
Good example of background paths that should be summarized.
