Bug-class explainers. Each card groups findings of the same shape — these are the patterns most likely to ship to prod and reappear in future scans unless you systematically fix the cause, not just the instance.

Duplicates & near-duplicates 4 findings
What it is: Same function copy-pasted into multiple modules with minor variations.
Why it matters: Each copy drifts independently — bug fixes apply to one, miss the others.
How AI causes it: AI completes the same pattern in each file rather than refactoring to a shared helper.
Fix approach: Extract the duplicated logic into the most general module both call sites already import. Add tests at the helper level.

Legacy markers 6 findings
What it is: TODO, FIXME, XXX, HACK comments. Often indicate a known-broken path the author meant to fix.
Why it matters: Each marker is an unfinished thought. Production code shouldn't ship with debt that's documented but not tracked.
How AI causes it: AI mirrors the style of the codebase, so existing TODOs propagate into new code.
Fix approach: Convert each into a ticket. Delete the comment when the ticket lands. Use a pre-commit hook to block new TODOs without an issue link.

Commented-out code 188 findings
What it is: Lines of source that were intentionally disabled but never deleted.
Why it matters: Git already remembers history — commented code rots, becomes wrong, and adds noise to diffs.
How AI causes it: AI sometimes comments out broken code instead of fixing it. Reviewers approve out of inertia.
Fix approach: Delete. Trust `git log`. If you really need to remember, save it in a notes file under `docs/`.

Config drift 1 finding
What it is: Settings duplicated across env files, Docker compose, K8s, and code defaults, all with slightly different values.
Why it matters: Production behaviour depends on whichever copy your loader reads first. Subtle bugs in staging that don't reproduce in dev.
How AI causes it: AI writes new config from memory rather than reading the existing source.
Fix approach: Pick one source of truth (env vars + a settings module). Have every other place import from there. Lint for duplicates in CI.
