com-lihaoyi/ammonite: technical due diligence, read from its repository
What Borehole read in com-lihaoyi/ammonite's code and history at c880469: its licence, security advisories, releases, review practice, tests, dependencies and operations. Every finding cites the file and line it rests on. The full report also covers the team and asks the questions the code cannot answer.

What the repository says
readme.md:1: The repository says it is deprecated
Architecture & Codebase — including AI provenance
strongNo finding.
Engineering Process & SDLC Maturity
strongAlmost no process scaffolding exists in the repository
adequateOf five ordinary markers — CI workflows, CODEOWNERS, a pull-request template, pre-commit hooks, contribution guidance — 1 is present: CI workflows. Branch protection itself is a GitHub setting rather than a file, so this is a reading of proxies and not of the rules themselves. What it does establish is that the process is not written down anywhere a new engineer would find it.

adequateThe repository says it is deprecated
adequateIts own README says so on line 1: "(Deprecated) Ammonite [![Build Status][travis-badge]][travis-link] [![B". Everything else in this report describes code its maintainers have said they will not carry forward. A buyer inherits the maintenance.
