high Security checks quality Quality conf 1.00 ✓ Repobility 13 occurrences `self.list_commands` used but never assigned in __init__
Method `get_command` of class `AliasedGroup` reads `self.list_commands`, but no assignment to it exists in __init__ (and no class-level fallback). This raises AttributeError the first time the method runs against an instance.

low Security checks quality Error handling conf 1.00 [ERR001] Silent Exception Swallowing: Silently swallowing all exceptions hides bugs. Even in cleanup code, log at DEBUG level.
Log the error: `except Exception: logger.debug('cleanup failed', exc_info=True)`. Or handle specific exception types.

low Security checks quality Error handling conf 0.55 ✓ Repobility 13 occurrences Broad exception handler needs review
This handler catches Exception/BaseException. It is actionable when it swallows errors without logging, re-raising, or returning a structured error. Handlers that intentionally convert exceptions into typed error results should not be treated as high risk.

CI tokens with write permissions increase blast radius when an action, dependency, or PR workflow is compromised. Prefer job-level least-privilege permissions.

`subprocess.run(...)` here lacks both a `timeout=` arg and an enclosing try/except. This is exactly the class of bug that took down our git-clone earlier (HTTP/2 stream cancel surfaced as a fatal). Add a `timeout=` and wrap in try/except, or use a wrapper that retries.

The scanner did not find any standard auth library (JWT, OAuth, NextAuth, Auth0, etc.). Either auth lives in custom code, in a separate service, or is missing.
