Scan summary Repository scanned at 73.2/100 with 66.7% coverage. It contains 4055 nodes across 0 cross-layer flows, written primarily in mixed languages. Engine surfaced 138 findings — concentrated in quality (91), software (29), cicd (13). Risk profile is high: 0 critical, 2 high, 24 medium. Recommended next step: open the quality layer findings first — that's where the highest-impact wins live.

Showing 66 of 113 actionable findings. 138 raw detector signals were grouped into reader-sized issues. Click TP / FP to vote on a finding's accuracy — votes adjust the confidence weighting and improve detection across the platform.

medium System graph quality Agent instructions conf 1.00 Agent authority lacks a verifier contract: .claude/skills/audit-template/SKILL.md
This agent instruction grants code or shell authority but does not state the verification gate that decides promotion. The recurring safe pattern is: LLM proposes; deterministic tests/build/security checks verify; only verified code promotes.

medium System graph quality Placeholder conf 1.00 Critical user flow still appears backed by mock or placeholder data
A payment/auth/admin/order/billing-style flow contains mock, fake, TODO, dummy, or placeholder markers in runtime source. In the Fable corpus this is a high-leverage completeness smell: the app can look finished while the money, identity, or tenant flow is still scaffolded.
