Nothing significant. Questions worth asking about Security & Reliability Posture, Product & Engineering Maturity.

104 checks ran across 6 assessable dimensions. None found a significant problem; 6 raised something worth a question. 6 findings, each with evidence. One dimension cannot be assessed without an acquirer.

What the repository says about itself
  • 2 submodule(s) this survey does not read: api, front .gitmodules:1
What this survey read. This commit may not be the product users run: the product's code is in submodules this survey did not read (api/, front/), beside 45 source files of its own. No dimension is rated strong: most of the product was not read. Survey the submodules' repositories as well.
An earlier reading. This is the survey of 2026-10-02 by borehole 0.7.10, which is what its verification code attests to. A newer reading of the same commit exists: read the newest.
Published under today's rules. The verification code attests to this reading as it was stored. This page differs from it as follows.

This is a lower bound. It counts what the repository declares. Undeclared AI authorship is invisible here, and a single rebase removes the trailers this rests on. Absence of a declaration is absence of disclosure, not absence of AI authorship.

Notes that do not affect this rating
04.1

Change keeps returning to the same few files

adequate

Five files out of 543 absorb 29% of all file-level change. Concentration like this is where debt is usually being serviced rather than repaid: the same code is reopened because it is load-bearing, fragile, or both. A repository cannot tell you which — that is a conversation with the team.

A note that does not affect this rating: in Borehole's calibration, this check's notes were usually true but overstated.

Respond to this finding

Your response is published beside the finding, not instead of it. A finding you can argue with is the point — and a wrong one is calibration data we want.

An owner's response is removed only when it is unlawful, impersonates someone, publishes personal data or a credential, or is not about the finding. Disagreeing with the report is never a reason. To report a response, or to reach us about one, write to takedown@borehole.dev.

04.17

Go 1.25 is past end of life

adequate

The code is pinned to Go 1.25 (end of life 2026-08-11). None of these receives security fixes any more; the first stopped on 2026-08-11. Moving off an unsupported runtime is rarely a one-line change, so a buyer should ask whether the upgrade is planned and what it touches.

Security & Reliability Posture

05.2

None of the standard security guard rails are configured

adequate

There is no disclosure policy, no automated dependency updates, no named code owners and no pre-commit configuration. None of these is load-bearing on its own. Their collective absence says that security posture here is whatever the current team happens to remember to do, which is not a posture that survives the team changing.

05.6

3 Dockerfiles run the application as root

adequate

No USER instruction switches away from root, so the process runs with full privileges inside the container. It is a one-line fix and an ordinary expectation, which is why its absence is worth asking about: it usually says more about whether anyone has reviewed the deployment than about this container specifically.

Evidence

A note that does not affect this rating
05.27

The build runs third-party code it does not pin

adequate

7 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; 1 step pipes a download straight into a shell. 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.

A note that does not affect this rating: notes like it are common in well-run projects.

1 of 7 deployed images carry no version, or `latest`

adequate

1 images in the deployment configuration are named without a version or as `latest`. A redeploy can change the software without a commit, a rollback has nothing to roll back to, and nobody can say from the repository what is running.

A note that does not affect this rating: in Borehole's calibration, this check's notes were usually true but overstated.

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

Check it on the running system

5 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. Each says where its answer lives: your own engineer, the company, or an assessor you choose can settle it. Questions marked measured open with something this repository shows.

Observability & Operations

06 · partial coverage
  1. measured Nothing in the tree backs up or restores data. How is data backed up, and has a restore ever been rehearsed? Answer lives in: The operations team06.19
  2. measured No alert rule is defined in the repository. Where are alerts defined, who receives them, and when did one last fire? Answer lives in: The alerting tool and the on-call rota06.10
  3. Are the dashboards opened, the alerts acknowledged and the pages answered? Answer lives in: Pager history and dashboard logs06.29
  4. Are the service-level objectives actually met? Answer lives in: Production metrics06.30
  5. Who carries the pager, and how often does it go off? Answer lives in: Pager exports and interviews06.31

Fit with the Acquirer

07 · none coverage

Not rated: structurally not assessable from a repository.

  1. This is primarily a Go codebase. Does your engineering organisation already run Go in production, or would this be the first? 07.1
  2. The bulk of this system sits in events-processor/, deploy/, extra/. Which of your existing systems would each of those have to absorb or replace? 07.10
  3. The repository carries deployment configuration (connectors/Dockerfile and 8 more). Does that match your deployment and on-call model, or does it need rehosting first? 07.2
  4. What is your tolerance for the findings above remaining unaddressed for the first two quarters after close, given everything else that will compete for this team's time?
  5. Which of these systems duplicate yours, and which get retired? Answer lives in: Your architecture07.11
  6. What will integration cost, and in what order? Answer lives in: The engagement07.12
  7. Where does the team land in your organisation, and who reports to whom? Answer lives in: Your org design07.13
  8. Are there earn-outs, retention packages or contractor IP to assign? Answer lives in: Deal terms07.14
  9. Do customer contracts limit hosting, regions or vendors? Answer lives in: Customer contracts07.15

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 ZPZC-2E1R-2Q22 2026-10-02 · 6DCDB62 BOREHOLE.DEV/VERIFY

Anyone can check this report against the authoritative record — click the stamp, or enter ZPZC-2E1R-2Q22 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.

Borehole reading ZPZC-2E1R-2Q22, not a certification

This commit has been surveyed 10 times

A survey is a reading by a particular version of the assessor. Older readings are kept rather than replaced, because a verification mark attests to the survey it was issued for — overwriting one would make every code already in circulation read as tampered.
