Z-04 // EXPERIMENTAL HYPOTHESISIdeaUPDATED 2026-Q4
Autonomous Code Health Auditor
Lightweight static analysis scanning repositories for architectural decay.
A non-intrusive CLI daemon analyzing git churn, circular dependency clusters, and abandoned module dead-weight.
01 // CORE HYPOTHESIS
TESTABLE PREMISE
Correlating git commit frequency with AST node complexity exposes architectural bottlenecks far earlier than traditional test coverage metrics.
02 // WHAT WE'RE LEARNING
AST parsing large monorepos in pure Node is memory-intensive; exploring Rust-based parser bindings.
Actionable output must be constrained to 3 highest-leverage fixes to avoid dashboard fatigue.
03 // NEXT HORIZON & CRITERIA
IMMEDIATE NEXT STEP
Prototype minimal CLI scanning TypeScript import graph.
CONDITIONS TO EARN PRODUCT STATUS:
Full repository analysis finishes under 3 seconds
Actionable signals verified against 5 internal repositories
