Repository Setup Audit Report

Project: Bandit Runner
Date: October 9, 2025
Auditor: AI Assistant (using Gitea + Context7 Documentation)

---

Executive Summary

Your repository follows most best practices for modern software development with Conventional Commits, proper Gitea Actions workflows, and good documentation. However, several critical issues were identified and have been fixed during this audit.

---

✅ What You're Doing Right

1. Conventional Commits Implementation

• ✅ Branch naming strategy follows conventions (feat/, fix/, etc.)
• ✅ PR title linting enforces Conventional Commits format
• ✅ Clear type definitions (feat, fix, docs, chore, refactor, test)
• ✅ Conventional Commits badge added to README

Reference: Conventional Commits Specification

2. Issue & PR Templates

• ✅ Bug report template with proper structure
• ✅ Feature request template with acceptance criteria
• ✅ Enhancement template for improvements
• ✅ Pull request template with comprehensive checklist
• ✅ All templates use proper labels

3. Documentation

• ✅ Comprehensive README with badges, installation, and architecture
• ✅ GPLv3 License properly included (COPYING.txt)
• ✅ Project logo and branding
• ✅ Clear contact information and acknowledgments
• ✅ CONTRIBUTING.md with branch strategy (now enhanced)

4. .gitignore Configuration

• ✅ Comprehensive Node.js patterns
• ✅ Cloudflare/Wrangler-specific ignores
• ✅ OpenNext build artifacts excluded
• ✅ Proper lockfile hygiene (commits pnpm, ignores npm/yarn)
• ✅ Test and coverage artifacts ignored

5. Tech Stack

• ✅ Next.js 15.4.6 (latest stable)
• ✅ React 19.1.0
• ✅ TypeScript with proper configuration
• ✅ pnpm as package manager
• ✅ ESLint for code quality
• ✅ Cloudflare Workers deployment target

---

⚠️ Issues Found & Fixed

1. CI Workflow Configuration ✅ FIXED

File: .gitea/workflows/ci.yml

Issues:

• ❌ Working directory not specified (runs from repo root instead of bandit-runner-app/)
• ❌ Incorrect script name: pnpm eslint . → should be pnpm lint
• ❌ Missing test script (workflow expects pnpm test which doesn't exist)
• ❌ Redundant pnpm setup (both cache and action-setup)
• ❌ TypeScript typecheck command not wrapped properly

Fixes Applied:

# Added working directory
defaults:
  run:
    working-directory: ./bandit-runner-app

# Fixed script names
- run: pnpm lint              # was: pnpm eslint . --max-warnings=0
- run: npx tsc --noEmit       # was: pnpm tsc -p tsconfig.json --noEmit

# Removed test step (can be added when tests are implemented)

# Fixed pnpm setup order (pnpm action first, then Node with cache)

Best Practice Reference:

• GitHub Actions Starter Workflows
• Working directory: Essential for monorepo/subdirectory structures

2. Missing .env.example ✅ FIXED

Issue:

• README references cp .env.example .env.local (line 140)
• File didn't exist, breaking onboarding flow

Fix Applied: Created comprehensive .env.example with:

• OpenAI API key placeholder
• Cloudflare account/token configuration
• Optional LLM endpoints
• Bandit SSH settings
• Development-specific variables
• Clear comments and sections

Best Practice: Always provide .env.example for environment variable documentation.

3. Incomplete CONTRIBUTING.md ✅ FIXED

Issue:

• File ended abruptly mid-sentence ("Examples:")
• No actual examples provided
• Missing commit message format details
• No PR workflow instructions

Fixes Applied:

• ✅ Added complete branch naming examples
• ✅ Added Conventional Commits message format
• ✅ Included PR workflow steps
• ✅ Added code quality checklist
• ✅ Clear instructions for running linting and typechecking

4. Package Manager Lockfile ✅ FIXED

Issue:

• Project uses pnpm (per scripts and CI)
• Only package-lock.json (npm) existed
• .gitignore specifies pnpm-lock.yaml should be committed
• CI workflow expected pnpm-lock.yaml

Fix Applied:

• ✅ Generated pnpm-lock.yaml using pnpm install --lockfile-only
• ✅ Updated CI workflow to use correct lockfile path

Action Required: Delete package-lock.json from the repository:

cd bandit-runner-app
rm package-lock.json
git add -u
git commit -m "chore: remove npm lockfile, using pnpm"

5. README Badge Enhancement ✅ FIXED

Addition:

• ✅ Added Conventional Commits badge
• ✅ Fixed license badge text (was "MIT", now "GPLv3")

---

📋 Recommended Next Steps

1. Add Testing Infrastructure (HIGH PRIORITY)

Your CI workflow is ready for tests, but no test framework exists yet.

Recommendations:

cd bandit-runner-app

# Option A: Vitest (recommended for Next.js)
pnpm add -D vitest @vitejs/plugin-react @testing-library/react @testing-library/jest-dom

# Option B: Jest (traditional)
pnpm add -D jest @types/jest jest-environment-jsdom @testing-library/react @testing-library/jest-dom

Add to package.json:

"scripts": {
  "test": "vitest run",
  "test:watch": "vitest"
}

Then re-enable in .gitea/workflows/ci.yml:

- name: Unit tests
  run: pnpm test

2. Add Code Coverage (MEDIUM PRIORITY)

pnpm add -D @vitest/coverage-v8

Add to CI workflow:

- name: Coverage
  run: pnpm test --coverage
  
- name: Upload coverage
  uses: codecov/codecov-action@v3
  with:
    file: ./coverage/coverage-final.json

3. Add Pre-commit Hooks (RECOMMENDED)

Enforce quality before commits:

pnpm add -D husky lint-staged

# Initialize husky
pnpm exec husky init

Add to package.json:

"lint-staged": {
  "*.{ts,tsx}": [
    "eslint --fix",
    "prettier --write"
  ]
}

Create .husky/pre-commit:

#!/bin/sh
cd bandit-runner-app
pnpm lint-staged

4. Add Commitlint (RECOMMENDED)

Enforce Conventional Commits locally:

pnpm add -D @commitlint/cli @commitlint/config-conventional

Create commitlint.config.js:

module.exports = { extends: ['@commitlint/config-conventional'] };

Add to .husky/commit-msg:

#!/bin/sh
cd bandit-runner-app
npx --no -- commitlint --edit $1

5. Add Dependabot/Renovate (OPTIONAL)

Automated dependency updates. For Gitea, configure Renovate:

Create .gitea/renovate.json:

{
  "$schema": "https://docs.renovatebot.com/renovate-schema.json",
  "extends": ["config:base"],
  "schedule": ["before 5am on monday"],
  "labels": ["dependencies"],
  "packageRules": [
    {
      "matchUpdateTypes": ["minor", "patch"],
      "automerge": true
    }
  ]
}

6. Add Architecture Decision Records (RECOMMENDED)

You reference docs/ADR-001-architecture.md in README (line 205) but it doesn't exist yet.

Template:

mkdir -p docs/adr

Create docs/adr/001-cloudflare-workers-architecture.md:

# ADR-001: Cloudflare Workers Architecture

## Status
Accepted

## Context
Need to run Next.js app on edge with Durable Objects...

## Decision
Use OpenNext + Cloudflare Workers...

## Consequences
Positive: Fast edge execution, low latency...
Negative: Learning curve, debugging complexity...

7. Add GitHub/Gitea Workflow Badges (OPTIONAL)

Show CI status in README:

[![CI Status](https://git.biohazardvfx.com/Nicholai/bandit-runner/badges/workflows/ci.yml/badge.svg)](https://git.biohazardvfx.com/Nicholai/bandit-runner/actions?workflow=ci.yml)
