Worth checking first

Borehole's proprietary scoring is calibrated across hundreds of repositories. Each finding here reads significant, but its check has not yet held up often enough in that calibration to rate significant on its own. If one holds when someone checks it, it is significant.

  • 04.3 214 direct dependencies in a single manifest
What this survey read. This commit may not be the product users run: The newest release, v0.7.432, is not on the branch this survey read; the newest release on it is v0.7.312. Read this report as describing that commit, not the release users run. Survey the release branch or tag as well.
An earlier reading. This is the survey of 2026-10-03 by borehole 0.7.11, 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.
  • Words about people are today's: bands rather than exact shares, dates or day counts, and what the history measured rather than why.
  • 2 findings from checks Borehole's calibration found wrong more often than right are no longer published.
  • The file and line of 2 credential-shaped matches are withheld. File and line are shown to whoever GitHub says controls this repository, signed in, and to a buyer of this report.

1 base image floats: no version, or `latest`

adequate

1 of 47 `FROM` lines in product Dockerfiles name an image without a version, or with `latest`. Each build pulls whatever the registry serves that day, so the image that ships can change without a commit, and last month's build cannot be reproduced. Pin a version, or a digest.

Evidence
foundations/stream/Dockerfile foundations/stream/Dockerfile:36 — base image without a version

plugins/tracker-resources/src/components/gantt/GanttView.svelte is 4,894 lines, 87× this codebase's median file

adequate

The median source file here is 56 lines. 41 files exceed 1,000 lines, the largest being 4,894. 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.

Tests are retried until they pass

adequate

The suite is configured to retry failing tests (qms-tests/sanity/tests/playwright.config.ts). A retry turns a flaky test green without saying why it failed, so a green build means the tests passed eventually. Ask how many retries a typical run needs, and which tests need them.

214 direct dependencies in a single manifest

adequate worth checking first

desktop/package.json declares 214 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 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. Opening desktop/package.json and the 3 other files it cites settles it. If it holds when someone checks it, this finding is significant.

The repository says it is frozen

adequate worth checking first

Its own README says so on line 9: "This repository is frozen and is no longer actively maintained.". Everything else in this report describes code its maintainers have said they will not carry forward. A buyer inherits the maintenance.

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. Opening README.md:9 settles it. If it holds when someone checks it, this finding is significant.

Go 1.24 is past end of life

adequate

The code is pinned to Go 1.24 (end of life 2026-02-10). None of these receives security fixes any more; the first stopped on 2026-02-10. 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.

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

2 credential-shaped strings committed to the tree

adequate

Matches for JWT 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.

Evidence
JWT 2 cited: JWT pattern matched

41 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.

98 locked dependencies have published vulnerabilities, 61 high or critical in what ships

adequate worth checking first

98 of 3,708 locked dependencies match 174 published advisories in OSV, 95 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.

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. Opening common/config/rush/pnpm-lock.yaml settles it. If it holds when someone checks it, this finding is significant.

Evidence

3 environment files are committed

adequate

desktop-package/.env, desktop/.env, qms-desktop-package/.env are tracked in git. Environment files are where credentials usually live, and committing one usually means nobody decided how secrets reach the running application. Whatever is in it is in the history for good. Check 05.1 says whether it holds anything credential-shaped.

05.27

The build runs third-party code it does not pin

adequate

13 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.

9 SQL statements built from strings

adequate

9 places in product code build SQL by formatting or joining strings rather than passing parameters. 1 of them put a value into the string; in the rest, what the code shows going in is a table or column name, a constant, or something the line does not show. Ask whether any value reaches these strings, rather than a parameter.

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

Check it on the running system

10 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.

  3. The repository carries deployment configuration (foundations/hulylake/Dockerfile and 41 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 56F9-5SB0-RA17 2026-10-03 · E4FD72B BOREHOLE.DEV/VERIFY

Anyone can check this report against the authoritative record — click the stamp, or enter 56F9-5SB0-RA17 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 56F9-5SB0-RA17, not a certification

Quoted evidence

1 piece of evidence on this report quotes 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.

This commit has been surveyed 5 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.

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.

An automated reading of a repository's code and its history up to one commit, with public advisory records. It may be wrong, it is not legal, financial, investment or security advice, and it does not replace diligence by a qualified person. It is provided for information: nobody may rely on it (Borehole's terms, section 3).
