OBFUSCATION_MINIFIED_PAYLOAD

    design/support.js, line 1233 ".fx{display:flex}.col{display:flex;flex-direction:column}.grid{display:grid}.ac{align-items:center}.jc{justify-content:center}.jb{justify-content:space-between}.f1{flex:1}.noshrin

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.
