FlareInspect assigns weighted values to each severity level for score calculation and drift detection.

How Weights Are Used
---------------------

.. rubric:: Overall Score

For each finding:

- If ``status === PASS``, the weight contributes to the passed total
- If ``status === FAIL``, the weight contributes only to the possible total

.. code-block:: text

   overallScore = (passedWeight / totalWeight) × 100

.. rubric:: Drift Score

In the diff engine:

- Each **improvement** (FAIL → PASS) adds its weight to the improvement score
- Each **regression** (PASS → FAIL) adds its weight to the regression score

.. code-block:: text

   driftScore = ((improvementScore - regressionScore) / total) × 100

Range: -100 (all regressions) to +100 (all improvements).
