## Evidence gaps

> Health figures were updated after the written guide, so the guide may describe older code.
> RepoPilot has not run the setup commands or tests.
> Files marked “likely” are guessed from their names.
> Some entry points named in the manifest are build output or are missing from the file list, so their source is not shown.
> The file list is newer than the written guide, so descriptions and suggested changes may describe older code.
> Could not capture pnpm-lock.yaml: source unavailable or larger than the capture limit. Open its source link to check setup.
> Setup has not been executed. Environment variables, external services and command order may require additional source documentation.
