Scan summary Repository scanned at 57.7/100 with 88.9% coverage. It contains 4043 nodes across 0 cross-layer flows, written primarily in mixed languages. Engine surfaced 99 findings — concentrated in quality (50), cicd (36), security (5). Risk profile is high: 0 critical, 1 high, 38 medium. Recommended next step: open the quality layer findings first — that's where the highest-impact wins live.

Showing 33 of 52 actionable findings. 99 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.

high System graph security Agent instructions conf 1.00 Agent instruction/config may expose a secret: skills/skillsaw-onboard/SKILL.md
Agent-facing files are routinely pasted into LLM/tool contexts. Move literal tokens, keys, and passwords into a secret manager or document them as placeholders only.

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.

No non-root USER set. Containers running as root expand the blast radius of any vulnerability inside the image.

medium System graph quality Integrity conf 1.00 Network/subprocess call without timeout or try/except — src/skillsaw/__main__.py:941
`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.

Found 25 placeholder/mock markers across 10 source files. This often means the repo looks complete while core flows still use generated scaffolding or fake data.

Repo has Dockerfiles/compose but no Kubernetes/Nomad manifests. If the target deployment is K8s, the manifests may live in a separate ops repo.

Found 238 console/debugger/print-style debug statements in non-test source. This is a common fast-generation residue before production cleanup.
