THE CODEPULSE PROOF STANDARD

Every claim of progress has to bring its receipts.

Correctness is measured across the application. Security is scanned. Required checks actually run. Evidence is bound to the work. CodePulse turns “trust me” into a result you can trace, inspect and defend.

CodePulse

23 dimensions. One standard: prove the work.

CodePulse measures the architecture, logic, contracts, maintainability, security and test discipline behind the application. Expand a dimension to see why it matters.

01File health

Keep the files that make up the product healthy and verifiable.

02AI generated debt

Expose maintenance burden left behind by rushed AI output.

03API coherence

Keep interfaces consistent across the application.

04Abstraction fit

Make the structure fit the problem without unnecessary complexity.

05Auth consistency

Keep identity and access behavior consistent across features.

06Code quality

Hold implementation quality to a measurable standard.

07Contracts

Check the agreements between components that must work together.

08Type safety

Catch incompatible data assumptions before they become failures.

09Convention drift

Expose changes that quietly abandon project standards.

10Cross-module arch

Keep module relationships architecturally coherent.

11Dep health

Understand the condition of the dependencies you rely on.

12Design coherence

Keep the implementation working as one coherent system.

13Duplication

Expose repeated logic that can diverge into inconsistent behavior.

14Elegance

Favor clear, economical implementation over avoidable complication.

15Error consistency

Make failure handling predictable throughout the product.

16Init coupling

Expose fragile dependencies in initialization and startup.

17Logic clarity

Make decision paths understandable and reviewable.

18Naming quality

Make intent easier for humans and agents to follow.

19Security

Bring security posture into the quality decision.

20Structure nav

Keep the project navigable so the right work can be found.

21Stale migration

Surface drift and outdated database migration work.

22Test health

Expose the health of the checks protecting the application.

23Test strategy

Organize verification around the right risks and behavior.

01

Test the code. Then use the product.

Unit, integration, lint, type and build checks form one layer. Operating the actual changed capability as an end user forms another. Where appearance matters, direct rendered inspection supplies visual proof. CodePulse requires the applicable evidence before work earns verified completion.

02

Proof behind the proof.

SHA-256 bindings connect receipts to their evidence. Receipt-of-receipt checks preserve verification traceability, and an append-only proof ledger retains the chain. The resulting record makes completion inspectable beyond the agent’s summary or the current session.

03

A green badge has to earn its place.

CodePulse distinguishes Verified, Degraded, Blocked, Conflict and Not verified. Freshness and source coverage remain visible. Incomplete scans cannot silently replace the last known good result; missing execution keeps the relevant gate blocked or degraded.

Full security scanning. Evidence at every control.

CodePulse brings security into the same rigorous workflow as quality and delivery. Each control carries its status and supporting evidence, with freshness, coverage gaps and the next action visible.

01

Secure, up-to-date dependencies

Tie known risks to exact packages and advisory evidence.

02

Daily CVE intelligence

Verify that vulnerability intelligence is fresh enough for the decision.

03

Whole-codebase supply chain

Reconcile packages, lockfiles and integrity across detected manifests.

04

Invisible Unicode before execution

Catch hidden characters that alter source or command interpretation.

05

Vulnerable coding idioms

Trace risky implementation patterns to their impact, whoever wrote them.

06

Unsanitized SQL injection

Follow untrusted input toward SQL execution and check parameterization.

07

Agent file-completion guardrails

Require applicable language checks before a changed file is complete.

08

Pre-commit secret detection

Check staged changes for secrets before they leave the working change.

09

Credential leakage prevention

Inspect current source and applicable history for exposed credentials.

10

Language-aware SAST

Apply security analysis suited to the languages the project actually uses.

CodePulse

Give every decision-maker the evidence they need.

Security teams, platform owners, compliance reviewers and engineering leads get role-specific report packs. Findings, control status, source provenance and policy authority remain intact. SCA, SBOM and distribution inventories connect security review to the software you actually ship.
