AI CODE DETECTOR GUIDE
Does a trailing newline add a line to an AI code detector report?
Yes. The current analyzer splits the submitted text at line breaks and keeps the empty final segment after a trailing newline. In a tested example, that added a blank second line while leaving the matched rule and score unchanged.
The configured rules run in your browser; submitted code is not uploaded.
Compare the input with and without a final line break
Without a trailing newline, this sample is one input line:
function calculateCustomerTotal() { return 1; }With a newline after the same text, the analyzer's line array contains a second, empty entry. The report can therefore show the blank line as line 2.
In a direct test with the current rules, both inputs matched “Highly descriptive multi-word identifier” on line 1 and scored 7. The trailing newline changed the line list, not that example's matched signal or score.
How to read the extra line
A blank final row is a line-splitting detail, not another matched signal. If you compare a report's line count with an editor, check whether one view includes the final line break. For partial snippets, the reported line numbers refer to the submitted text, starting at line 1.
Scores and highlighted lines are heuristic review signals, not proof of authorship. See how report line numbers work and what the score means.
