mihonapp/mihon: technical due diligence, read from its repository

What Borehole read in mihonapp/mihon's code and history at 866d045: 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.

Architecture & Codebase — including AI provenance

strong
01.6

app/src/main/java/eu/kanade/tachiyomi/ui/reader/viewer/webgpu/WebGpuViewer.kt is 2,026 lines, 35× this codebase's median file

adequate

The median source file here is 57 lines. 3 files exceed 1,000 lines, the largest being 2,026. Size is not a defect on its own — some problems genuinely live in one place — but these are where merge conflicts, review fatigue and single-owner knowledge concentrate, and they are the first thing that slows an inheriting engineer down.

Engineering Process & SDLC Maturity

adequate
02.3

Tests cover a thin slice of the codebase

adequate

9 test files against 919 source files (1.0%). This does not measure whether the tests are good, only whether enough of them exist for the codebase to be changed safely by someone who did not write it — which is exactly the situation after an acquisition.

Evidence
9 test files / 919 source files

Product & Engineering Maturity

adequate
04.19

1% of bug fixes add or change a test

adequate

Of 149 fixes in the last 24 months, 2 touched a test. A fix without the test that would have caught the bug can quietly come back, and the suite never learns from what went wrong.

Evidence
2 of 149

Security & Reliability Posture

adequate
05.1

2 credential-shaped strings committed to the tree

adequate

Matches for Google API key appear in tracked files outside test and fixture paths. They stay in the history even after they leave the tree, so what matters is whether each was rotated. The code cannot tell whether any of them is live, and that decides whether this matters: none sits in production configuration, and none is in a format its provider keeps for live keys. Is any of these live? Show that each was rotated after it was committed, and when. Only Google API keys matched. Those are often public by design, in a browser app's Firebase or Maps configuration; the question is whether each is restricted to the app's domains and APIs.

Evidence
2 cited: Google API key pattern matched
05.51

The app allows plain HTTP to any server

adequate

The app's manifest allows unencrypted HTTP app-wide (NSAllowsArbitraryLoads, or cleartext traffic permitted), rather than for named domains. Anything sent over plain HTTP can be read on the network, and enterprise security reviews ask about it. Some apps need it by nature (a podcast or feed reader fetches whatever URL a feed gives), so ask which case this is.

Evidence
app/src/main/res/xml/network_security_config.xml:4 — cleartext allowed app-wide
