How to read an AbyssGuard report before you ship
Table of Contents
The short version
AbyssGuard reports are designed to separate launch-blocking risk from ordinary engineering hygiene. Start with Fix now findings, check the evidence path, then decide whether the issue blocks launch, needs a scheduled repair, or belongs in the backlog.
Do not treat a long report as a to-do list. Treat it like a triage board: what can hurt customers, payments, authentication, private data, or trust first?
What to look at first
Read the finding title, file path, priority, and evidence before making a decision. A strong finding should point to concrete code behavior, not vague absence of a policy or generic framework wording.
If the evidence is concrete and touches auth, billing, secrets, permissions, or public customer flows, it deserves attention before cosmetic polish.
How to turn a finding into action
Copy the repair prompt into your coding assistant, keep the requested constraints, review the diff manually, and run the verification checklist. Good repairs are narrow: they fix the risky behavior without rewriting the whole feature.
If verification still finds the same issue, use the failed result as feedback. It usually means the first repair missed the exact file, missed a related path, or fixed one instance while another remained open.
