GPL-3.0 since 2025-08-28: open source; distributing a combined work can oblige publishing its source.

1 of 6 assessable dimensions carries significant findings, 4 are adequate and 1 is strong. 1 finding is worth checking first. 19 findings, each with its evidence: the commit, path and lines it rests on, or, when something is missing, what was looked for. One dimension cannot be assessed without an acquirer.

server/routerTrpc/note.ts is 1,880 lines, 19× this codebase's median file

adequate

The median source file here is 98 lines. 2 files exceed 1,000 lines, the largest being 1,880. 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.

A note that does not affect this rating: measured against its own codebase's median, it is below the 85th percentile of 382 surveyed projects' largest files, where this check begins to count.

Tests cover a thin slice of the codebase

adequate worth checking first

11 test files against 376 source files (2.9%). 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.

The check that found this reads significant, but it has not yet held up often enough in Borehole's calibration to rate a finding significant on its own. If it holds when someone checks it, this finding is significant.

Almost no process scaffolding exists in the repository

adequate

Of 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.

Bus factor 1: recent work is concentrated in one contributor

significant findings

In the last 24 months, one contributor authored more than half of 1,224 non-merge commits among 71 authors; across all history, more than half of 1,224. This is the single most expensive thing to discover after closing, and the repository cannot tell you whether that person is part of the transaction.

87 direct dependencies in a single manifest

adequate

app/package.json declares 87 direct dependencies. Each one is a maintenance obligation, a supply-chain surface and a potential licence question that transfers with the asset. The count says nothing about whether any given dependency was a good choice; it says how many such choices a buyer inherits.

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

Relicensed: MIT → AGPL-3.0 (2024-10-23) → GPL-3.0 (2025-08-28)

adequate

The root licence changed 2 time(s). The latest terms restrict what users, hosts or a buyer may do in ways the earlier ones did not. Code taken under the old terms stays under them, so both matter in diligence.

Notes that do not affect this rating
05.3

219 dependencies float, and no lockfile is committed

adequate

Dependency versions are declared as ranges and no lockfile is committed, so a build today does not necessarily produce what a build last month produced. That matters twice over in a transaction: the thing being bought cannot be reproduced exactly, and a compromised upstream release arrives without anyone choosing to take it.

The build runs third-party code it does not pin

adequate

15 third-party CI actions are referenced by a tag or branch rather than a commit, so they run whatever that tag points to on the day. Tags have been moved to malicious commits in real supply-chain attacks, and a piped script is whatever the server returns that minute. Pinning to a commit is the fix, and it is small.

34 locked dependencies have published vulnerabilities, 5 high or critical

adequate

34 of 678 locked dependencies match 57 published advisories in OSV, 5 of them rated high or critical. A lockfile says which version is installed, not whether the flawed code is reachable from this product, so each needs a look. Most are fixed by an upgrade, and the advisory names the version. This lockfile pins development tools alongside what ships and does not say which is which, so some of these may never reach a user.

14 places insert HTML from a variable without sanitising it

15 advisories against this project in the last 24 months, 5 high or critical

adequate

The newest was published on 2026-10-20. A project that publishes advisories is telling its users about its fixes, and the count and pace say how much security work it carries. Whether 7 of them are fixed in the code you ship could not be told from this history: its version is only known to be at least 1.8.8. Answer lives in: the release you run, set against each fixed version.

No telemetry or error reporting is wired in anywhere

adequate

None of 489 readable files references an instrumentation, metrics or error-reporting library. If this system is in production, nobody learns that it broke from the system itself — they learn it from a customer. That is a reliability finding before it is an observability one.

Readiness and liveness probes are identical in 1 of 1 workloads

adequate

Both probes call the same endpoint.

Liveness should ask whether the process is alive; readiness whether it can serve.

Not rated: structurally not assessable from a repository. What a person adds here.

Check it on the running system

12 checks against the running system follow from the findings above: what a buyer's engineer will try, how to run it first, and what to have ready. A paid survey of this repository includes them. See the tiers.

A paid survey of a public repository is also reviewed: a language model reads each finding against the code and withdraws only findings it judges the code contradicts, each listed with its reason. The review is a language model's reading of the findings against the code, and it can be wrong. It never adds a finding, never raises a band, and never removes a finding from a proven check or an advisory that affects the surveyed version.

What a person adds

The survey reads what the repository can show. The code cannot settle these questions, and on them this report states nothing.

A human assessment is Borehole's own paid service, €12,000+ (total price is determined per engagement; travel billed at cost). It is not independent of this report: the same business produced both. It is a separate contract, with its own scope, terms and reliance.

Embed the badge

Tied to this commit and this date, and it fades after 90 days — an honest badge is one that expires. A repository with significant findings gets a neutral "read" badge rather than a red one: the library is where the range is visible, not someone else's README.

BOREHOLE READING NOT A CERTIFICATION N90P-R8XS-H7DC 2026-11-03 · B2586D0 BOREHOLE.DEV/VERIFY

Anyone can check this report against the authoritative record — click the stamp, or enter N90P-R8XS-H7DC at borehole.dev/verify.

The code commits to the 106 checks this run performed, the bands they produced, and the commit they were read at. It does not cover checks written since.

Put the mark in your README

The image is wrapped in a link to the verification page, so a reader can check it rather than take it on trust. If you embed it: link it to the report, remove it if the report is delisted, and do not present it as a certification or an endorsement.

Borehole reading N90P-R8XS-H7DC, not a certification

Quoted evidence

5 pieces of evidence on this report quote the repository directly. Four checks quote text: up to five TODO-style comments, up to four commit subjects, up to five unpinned dependency lines and one status line from the README's first screen, such as “no longer maintained”. In each case the text is the evidence, which is why it is kept by default.

This rewrites every stored reading of this repository, and every later reading, including a re-read, is stored without the quoted text. The facts we keep to re-read it still hold the lines, as the privacy notice says. The pointers stay.

Where this scan ran

This scan ran on ordinary cloud infrastructure (cloud-run), not in a hardware-isolated confidential VM. Nothing about it is attested by Google.

What an attested survey proves, and what it does not.

What this scan did with the repository — 7 steps

Written by the steps themselves as they ran, not described afterwards. A hand-written account of a data flow drifts the first time somebody changes the flow and not the account.
