Quality is more about maintainability, IMO, which comes down to consistency and clarity of design, sensible abstractions, cohesion, decoupling, etc. I don’t think a rework metric tells you that.

That actually is incorrect. Quality is about how well something works.

There’s two types of quality: external quality, which is how well something works, and internal quality, which is how well something is built.
