## Pre-Remediation Assessment
| Category | Score | Notes |
|----------|-------|-------|
| A. Security | 9/10 | Excellent security section in README, sandbox enforcement, symlink protection — no formal SECURITY.md |
| B. Error Handling | 9/10 | Typed error codes, structured MCP results, HANDBOOK docs error codes |
| C. Operator Docs | 9/10 | Comprehensive README + HANDBOOK, CHANGELOG exists — no SHIP_GATE |
| D. Shipping Hygiene | 7/10 | Version at 0.2.1, engines.node set, npm publish config — needs 1.0.0 |
| E. Identity (soft) | 9/10 | Logo, translations, landing page — missing scorecard |
| **Overall** | **43/50** | |
## Key Gaps
1. No formal SECURITY.md
2. Version at 0.2.1 — needs promotion to 1.0.0
3. No SHIP_GATE.md or SCORECARD.md
