Why docvet?
ruff checks how your docstrings look. interrogate checks if they exist (but is unmaintained). docvet checks if they're right — and now covers presence too. Existing tools cover style; docvet delivers the layers they miss:
pydoclint covers 3 structural categories (Args, Returns, Raises). docvet's enrichment alone has 20 rules, including Raises, Yields, Receives, Warns, Attributes, Examples, cross-references, parameter agreement, and more. Add presence (coverage metrics + threshold enforcement), freshness (git diff/blame staleness detection), griffe rendering compatibility, and mkdocs coverage: 31 rules across 5 checks, in territory no other tool touches.
