## Prompt

```text
Audit this codebase.

**Scope:** [whole repo / specific modules]
**Language and framework:** [STACK]
**Code:** [paste files or point me to the repo structure and key files]
**Priorities:** [security / reliability / performance / maintainability]

Check for: bugs and logic errors, security vulnerabilities (OWASP Top 10, secrets, injection, auth), error handling, performance problems, concurrency issues, dead code, duplication, outdated or risky dependencies, test coverage gaps, and documentation gaps.

Return:
| # | Finding | File/line | Severity | Evidence | Fix |
Then a remediation roadmap: fix now / next sprint / later.

Report only issues you can see in the code; don't speculate about files you haven't seen.
```
