Hidden-Failure Scanner
Detect code that fails without saying so. Two tracks:
| Track | Failure shape | Example |
|---|---|---|
| errors | Syntactic — an error signal is discarded | catch (e) {}, || true, 2>/dev/null, floating promise, _ = err |
| degradation | Logical — an operation "succeeds" with empty/useless output because a precondition was silently unmet | success toast on count === 0, if (!apiKey) return [], a 1-of-3 detector run with no indication |
The two were previously separate skills (code-error-swallowing +
code-silent-degradation); they are the same user intent — "the work
reported success but nothing real happened" — so they live in one scanner
with a --track selector.
