Not a guarantee. A hygiene check of the source at the commit shown, not a security audit.

Rescanned at commit 0bb49cb59a00, unchanged since the check below.

PERMISSION_SHELL_UNDECLARED

Why this grade

  • PERMISSION_SHELL_UNDECLARED Medium

    Runs shell commands that the manifest or description does not mention.

    .planning/milestones/v2-phases/phase-15/15-01-PLAN.md, line 158 Use `vi.stubGlobal('fetch', ...)` pattern from client.test.ts. For npm check, mock `child_process.execSync`. For task file, use a temp file or mock `readFileSync`.

Any High, or two or more Medium findings, give D. One Medium gives C. Low findings or a security Note give B. Each code names a finding behind the letter.

Grades are a hygiene check of the source at the commit shown, on the date checked, not a security audit or a guarantee. The free directory grades are automated. Before release, a PlugVet engineer reviews every paid report and any grade we hold back, including all F grades, against the source code and the evidence we quote.
