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 (80).

Working through the fixes? Let every push regrade itself.

The free GitHub App rescans this repo on every push and posts the grade as a commit check, so the score climbs without coming back to rescan by hand.

Linting and formatting5pt0

No Java/Kotlin linter configured.

Add Checkstyle or Spotless for Java formatting, or ktlint/Detekt for Kotlin. Run it via Maven/Gradle or as a CI step.

Issue and PR templates6pt0

No issue or PR templates found (−100 pts).

Add .github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/ with bug_report.md and feature_request.md to guide contributors. It dramatically improves issue quality.
