Fixes #560.

If .clang-tidy sets UseColor: true, clang-tidy prints ANSI color codes even when its stdout is piped. No line then matched NOTE_HEADER, so every clang-tidy diagnostic was dropped and the run reported clang-tidy-checks-failed: 0.

As suggested in #560, parse_tidy_output() now strips the color codes from each stdout line before applying the regex. The stripped line is also what gets stored in the notification's suggestion lines.

Tests

• New parse_colored_tidy_output test uses real clang-tidy 18 output captured with UseColor: true. It fails on main (no notes parsed) and passes with this change.
• End to end with the repro from clang-tidy findings are dropped when .clang-tidy sets UseColor: true #560: clang-tidy-checks-failed goes from 0 to 2.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Bug Fixes
  • Clang-tidy diagnostics now display correctly when output includes color formatting. Warning details, locations, notes, and suggested changes are parsed without showing stray color codes. This keeps diagnostic text readable and consistent across both colored and uncolored output.

Walkthrough

parse_tidy_output strips ANSI color escape sequences from clang-tidy output before parsing diagnostic headers and suggestion lines. A new test checks parsed diagnostic details and confirms that rationale and suggestion text contain no ANSI escape characters.

Changes: clang-tidy color parsing

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Strip ANSI escapes before parsing cpp-linter/src/clang_tools/clang_tidy/mod.rs, cpp-linter/src/clang_tools/clang_tidy/test.rs	parse_tidy_output removes ANSI escape sequences before matching note headers and storing suggestion lines. The new test checks diagnostic names, filename, location, and text parsed from colored output.

Full details: Linked Issues check

Explanation

Issue #560 requires clang-tidy findings to remain parseable when UseColor: true. parse_tidy_output() removes ANSI SGR codes before matching NOTE_HEADER and stores cleaned suggestion lines. The new parse_colored_tidy_output test verifies that both diagnostics are parsed and that rationale and suggestion text contain no escape characters.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

The changes are limited to ANSI-code handling in clang-tidy output parsing and a regression test for issue #560. The test directly supports the issue objective. The separate cpp-linter v1 fix is not part of this pull request.

Full details: Docstring Coverage

Explanation

Docstring coverage is 50.00% which is insufficient. The required threshold is 80.00%. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff with cyclomatic complexity of at least 2. Documentation-only edits and deletions within surviving functions are included; unchanged diff context and fully deleted functions are excluded. Analyzed 2 functions across 2 files.

Resolution

Write docstrings for the functions missing them to satisfy the coverage threshold.
