Don’t underestimate grep-based code scanning

Fail verification in CI if the change doesn’t pass your checks. You can check anything, such as whether it has a duplicate name already in the codebase.

I would be interested to know, which CI tool can check "that each concept has exactly one name throughout the codebase."

I thought code reviews are the only way and then you need to have every Dev aligned and on the same page on this topic... Which never happens. :/

It wouldn’t be something provided by the CI tool, you’d have to write the test yourself. At the end of the day it’s just another test, albeit a more complex one than a standard unit test.
