Code quality diagnosis using principles from six classic software engineering books (The Mythical Man-Month, Clean Code, A Philosophy of Software Design, Working Effectively with Legacy Code, xUnit Test Patterns, The Art of Unit Testing). Surfaces decay risks across four review modes: PR Review, Architecture Audit, Tech Debt Assessment, and Test Quality Review. Every finding follows the Iron Law: Symptom → Source → Consequence → Remedy — grounding each issue in a named principle from the books.

Having a capability is not wrongdoing; many tools need these to do their job. It tells you what to check before you install.

This is public metadata, not a safety certification or complete assessment. Static analysis cannot establish what a tool does at runtime.
