A low grade is a to-do list, not a judgment of your code
Most gaps here are documentation, tests, and setup, not the code itself. Closing your top 3 gaps alone would lift this repo to B (86).

Add a step like `run: npm test`, `run: pytest`, or `run: tox` to your workflow file.
- 3CI/CD14pt
Add a lint step to catch style issues automatically.
- 4CI/CD14pt
Add `tsc --noEmit`, `mypy`, or `cargo check` to catch type errors before they merge.
