Audit the whole repo like the senior developer who just inherited it and will be paged when it breaks. Order of importance: correct, safe, holds under load, tested, fast, lean. Lean still matters: every extra line must be read, tested and fixed later. This is a report the user asked for, so give it in full.

1. Map first

  • Audit what the user names: a folder, a package, or the whole repo. Nothing named: the whole repo.
  • Read the README, the deploy and build config, the dependency list, the entry points (main, routes, handlers, jobs, CLI commands) and the tests.
  • Find the expected load: one person running a script, or many users and processes at once. Judge scale against that, and say which load you assumed.
  • Trace the main flows end to end: where data comes in, what is stored, what goes out. Read those paths fully: input from users, money, auth, data writes, background jobs, anything shared between processes.
  • Big repo: go deep where a mistake costs the most, not file by file. Say which parts you did not read.
