Autonomous Code Health Auditor

Lightweight static analysis scanning repositories for architectural decay.

A non-intrusive CLI daemon analyzing git churn, circular dependency clusters, and abandoned module dead-weight.

01 // CORE HYPOTHESIS
TESTABLE PREMISE

Correlating git commit frequency with AST node complexity exposes architectural bottlenecks far earlier than traditional test coverage metrics.

02 // WHAT WE'RE LEARNING
AST parsing large monorepos in pure Node is memory-intensive; exploring Rust-based parser bindings.
Actionable output must be constrained to 3 highest-leverage fixes to avoid dashboard fatigue.
03 // NEXT HORIZON & CRITERIA
IMMEDIATE NEXT STEP

Prototype minimal CLI scanning TypeScript import graph.
