FINDINGS ░▒▓

infoSuspicious files are not reachable from entry pointsFlagged files exist but are not imported by any entry point. They may be dead code, tests, or attack payloads triggered by another mechanism.+2

warningFlattened or dead control flowDetected switch(true), dead if branches, or deeply nested ternaries — patterns used by obfuscators to hide execution order.tests/fixtures.ts+3

warningHigh-entropy string literalsFound 6 long strings with high Shannon entropy. This is common in obfuscated payloads that hide URLs, keys, or bytecode.update-readme.js+3

infoAuthor has no other public repositoriesGitHub user "dependabot[bot]" has no other public repositories, common for burner accounts used in scams.+2

Scores are heuristics. A “safe” verdict means no known-malicious patterns were found — clever malware can look boring. Wrong verdict? Flag it above; confirmed false positives become regression tests.
