Health Score Breakdown

Repo bus factor

The primary contributor made 6 of 7 recent commits, so activity is concentrated; however, a second contributor remains active and the broader release cadence is strong.

Repo tooling

The repository uses build tooling, but no security-scanning tools were detected, leaving a modest transparency and assurance gap.

Token permissions

The workflow does not declare top-level token permissions, so its effective permissions are less explicit than preferred and warrant a small supply-chain hygiene caution.
