GradeD

A workable base with real gaps. Start with CI and issue and PR templates.

Higher than 48% of 5,156 graded repos

Bare-metal snapshot system on C11 with entropy firewalls and 4 MiB flow control. 935 destructive stress tests passed without any leaks.

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 (85).

    Wire your tests to a documented command (e.g. a test script in your build config) so the suite is reproducible.

    CI/CD14pt

    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.

    README12pt

    Add a GIF, screenshot, or logo image. It is the fastest way to show what your project does.

    Add CI/build status badges from shields.io or your CI provider to signal project health.

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.
