Nothing significant. Questions worth asking about Organization & Key-Person Risk, Security & Reliability Posture.

104 checks ran across 6 assessable dimensions. None found a significant problem; 4 raised something worth a question. 11 findings, each with evidence. One dimension cannot be assessed without an acquirer. Last commit 1 November 2026.

src/parser/seclang-scanner.cc is 10,192 lines, 216× this codebase's median file

adequate

The median source file here is 47 lines. 8 files exceed 1,000 lines, the largest being 10,192. 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. Measured against its own codebase's median, it is larger than 92% of 382 surveyed projects' largest files.

Tests cover a thin slice of the codebase

adequate

42 test files against 531 source files (7.9%). 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.

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.

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

03.1

Bus factor 1: recent work is concentrated in one contributor

adequate

In the last 24 months, one contributor authored more than half of 363 non-merge commits among 21 authors; across all history, a quarter or more of 3,698. In a project with 21 recent contributors and 20 years of history, that is a question about one person's role rather than a fragile team — but it is the question to ask.

Evidence

03.5

The contributor who wrote a quarter or more of this has not committed here for more than three years

adequate

One person authored a quarter or more of 3,698 commits and has not committed here for more than three years, while the repository has kept moving. The concentration figure alone would not show this. Whoever is changing this code now is not the person who wrote most of it, which is the situation an acquirer is usually told they are avoiding. The history shows only that no commits of theirs landed here, not why.

The next contributor after the top one has not committed here for more than a year

adequate

The #2 contributor of the last three years (less than a quarter of the commits) has not committed here for more than two years, while the repository is still active. These are the people a buyer assumes would step up if the top contributor stopped. The history shows only that no commits of theirs landed here, not why.

Fixes are 52% of recent work, up from 23%

adequate

In the last two quarters 52% of commits were fixes, against 23% in the quarters before. Rising fix work usually means quality debt is coming due, and it takes time that new work would have had.

Effort is shifting from building to rewriting

adequate

Deleted lines per line added rose from 0.45 to 0.93 between the first and second halves of this history. Rework is normal and often healthy, but a rising ratio means an increasing share of the team's time is spent replacing code that already exists rather than building what does not. Whether that is deliberate repayment or churn is a question for the team.

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

1 Dockerfile runs 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.

17 advisories against this project in the last 24 months, 9 high or critical

adequate

The newest was published on 2026-09-30. A project that publishes advisories is telling its users about its fixes, and the count and pace say how much security work it carries.

Relicensed: GPL-2.0 → Apache-2.0 (2011-03-30)

adequate

The root licence changed 1 time(s). Code taken under earlier terms stays under them; check which terms any fork or customer relied on.

A note that does not affect this rating: a licence change is a fact for the first screen, and only a narrowing of rights within two years of the surveyed commit costs "strong".

07 · not assessable · ratings ↑

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

Check it on the running system

2 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.

07 · none coverage

Not rated: structurally not assessable from a repository.

  1. This is primarily a C codebase, with C++ alongside (40% of source files). Does your engineering organisation already run C in production, or would this be the first? 07.1
  2. The bulk of this system sits in src/, build/, headers/. Which of your existing systems would each of those have to absorb or replace? 07.10
  3. The repository carries deployment configuration (.oss-scanner/Dockerfile and 1 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

  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.

BOREHOLE READING NOT A CERTIFICATION QPFT-XQWW-Z1ZR 2026-11-03 · 1EBDC39 BOREHOLE.DEV/VERIFY

Anyone can check this report against the authoritative record — click the stamp, or enter QPFT-XQWW-Z1ZR 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.

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).
