Code health

Start with the requested project's health dimensions, then investigate the weak ones: cycles and depth for architecture, modularity and coupling for boundaries, and test risk for poorly covered hubs. A score is a lead, not a finding; inspect the implicated code and its callers. Skip the dimensions the panel lists under no evidence:; the scope gave them nothing to measure, and quality_signal does not summarize such a scope.

Check indexed coverage before comparing scores. Unmounted files may look healthy in the graph while no build root reaches them; inspect the real build or runtime mount before calling them live or deleting them. Structural test links do not prove execution coverage.

For before/after analysis, retain the generation- and path-bound health_delta cursor. Compare the same scope and explain changed coverage rather than treating a score increase alone as proof of better architecture. Ignore dimensions whose status is no_evidence. A definition-mismatch or definition-unrecorded refusal means the cursor predates the current health definition: call again without before_cursor to record a new baseline.

Report: the weak dimensions, each with the ranked code that makes it weak, and the dimensions the panel listed under no evidence:. Do not report a score as a finding.
