For Javascript, after analysis, the file count in the Highlight instance is found to be much higher than the discovered file count in the code scanner/agent.
Details
This is because a javascript file can contain many separate javascript functions.
In the code scanner/agent view, it's shows a more macrscopic view of the count of files, but what is analyzed is actually the functions within the file so that each function can provide information on the metrics that are required for analysis by Highlight.
For example, the file scripts.js can have several functions:
scripts.js::allowed
scripts.js::user
scripts.js::departments
scripts.js::accounts
