Security audit

Every finding is shown in full — which advisory, the version that fixes it, and the exact command run at install time. Nothing in this audit is behind a licence.

No known advisoriesclearchecked against OSV for 0.2.0 — this package, not its dependency tree

No access inferred from declared dependenciesnothing it depends on reaches files, shell or network. This reads declarations only — built-in APIs are invisible to it, so absence of a declaration is not absence of access

Signed build provenancepublished from public CI with an attestation

npx tashan-cli doctor

Reads the config already on your machine and names what is dead, deprecated or running code at install time. No account, nothing uploaded.

Everything on this page is public evidence and free. What it cannot know is whether you run this — check your whole config, free, in the browser. tashan Pro adds the series behind each row and names a replacement for anything dying.

Already running this? Check your whole config — free, in your browser, nothing installed. Or npx tashan-cli doctor locally, which sends nothing at all.
