Nothing significant. Questions worth asking about Engineering Process & SDLC Maturity, Organization & Key-Person Risk.

104 checks ran across 6 assessable dimensions. None found a significant problem; 3 raised something worth a question. 11 findings, each with evidence. One dimension cannot be assessed without an acquirer. Last commit 3 November 2026.

Published under today's rules. The verification code attests to this reading as it was stored. This page differs from it as follows.
  • 2 findings from checks Borehole's calibration found wrong more often than right are no longer published.

  • low trailer coverage: the convention may not be in consistent use
  • no widespread author/committer date divergence
  • the declared share is neither decisive nor negligible, so the true figure is more sensitive to undeclared work

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.

packages/admin/src/get-route-map.tsx is 2,503 lines, 73× this codebase's median file

adequate

The median source file here is 34 lines. 11 files exceed 1,000 lines, the largest being 2,503. 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

212 test files against 4,213 source files (5.0%). 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.

adequate

52 of 746 commits in the last 24 months changed over 2,000 lines of code, not counting reformatting, renames, vendored or generated code. A change that size is rarely reviewed line by line. Ask how they were reviewed, and what made them that large.

Tests are retried until they pass

adequate

The suite is configured to retry failing tests (e2e-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.

Bus factor 1: recent work is concentrated in one contributor

adequate

In the last 24 months, one contributor authored more than half of 1,024 non-merge commits among 16 authors; across all history, more than half of 1,024. 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.

1 of 6 major areas has only ever had one author

adequate

Across 16 contributors, 1 substantial top-level area has been touched by exactly one person. The headline bus factor does not show this: a team can look well spread in aggregate and still have subsystems that stop moving the day one person stops working on them. For these areas, ask who else can change them today.

371 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.

7 places insert HTML from a variable without sanitising it

adequate

7 places set HTML from a value that is neither a literal nor passed through a sanitiser. Where the value can come from a user, that is stored cross-site scripting, and it is the first thing a buyer's security review looks for in a frontend.

102 vendored components with no licence

adequate

Third-party code is committed into this repository without any statement of the terms it arrived under. Unknown terms are harder to deal with than inconvenient ones: an awkward licence can be complied with, an absent one cannot. Each of these needs its origin established before the code changes hands.

7 advisories against this project in the last 24 months, 4 high or critical

adequate

The newest was published on 2026-11-04. 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 2 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 2.4.0. Answer lives in: the release you run, set against each fixed version. The record is incomplete: NVD: 16 records name mercur with nothing tying them to this repository (CVE-2000-0198, CVE-2000-0239, CVE-2000-0318, …).

A note that does not affect this rating: it describes the project's advisory record, and no advisory in it is known to affect the surveyed commit.

Sends usage data to telemetry.mercurjs.com by default

adequate

packages/cli/src/telemetry/index.ts sends to telemetry.mercurjs.com, and packages/cli/src/telemetry/store.ts leaves reporting on as shipped. Every installation reports to the vendor unless its operator turns this off. For a buyer running it inside their own product, that is an outbound data flow to a third party: ask what is sent, how often, and whether the buyer's customers were told.

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

Check it on the running system

3 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.

  1. This is primarily a TypeScript codebase. Does your engineering organisation already run TypeScript in production, or would this be the first? 07.1
  2. The bulk of this system sits in packages/, apps/, templates/. Which of your existing systems would each of those have to absorb or replace? 07.10
  3. 69% of added lines came through AI-declared commits. Does your organisation have a policy on inheriting and maintaining that code, and does your engineering team's tooling match how it was produced? 07.9
  4. Nothing in the repository says how this is deployed. Is it shipped as a library, a binary or a service, and if it runs somewhere, who owns that environment? 07.2
  5. 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?

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.

BOREHOLE READING NOT A CERTIFICATION 2SP9-C43Q-1K0X 2026-11-03 · 47BACD0 BOREHOLE.DEV/VERIFY

Anyone can check this report against the authoritative record — click the stamp, or enter 2SP9-C43Q-1K0X 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, not a certification](https://borehole.dev/badge/mercurjs/mercur/47bacd0.svg "Borehole free reading: not for reliance. See the full report.")](https://borehole.dev/verify/2SP9C43Q1K0X?via=badge)

Borehole reading 2SP9-C43Q-1K0X, 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.

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).
