No tests detected anywhere in the repository.

No CI configuration detected in this repository.
→ If your CI lives elsewhere (a private repo that builds this one) or this project is itself a CI/CD tool, mark this check Not Applicable. Otherwise add a GitHub Actions workflow that runs tests on each push. It takes 15 minutes and reassures contributors their changes won't break things.
No linter or formatter found.
→ Add ESLint (eslint.config.js) and/or Prettier (.prettierrc), install them as devDependencies, and add a `lint` script to package.json.
No dependency lockfile found (−70 pts).
→ Commit package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, yarn.lock, or bun.lock so Node installs are repeatable.
