Dependency Audit
Judges dependencies by maintenance risk and blast radius rather than by vulnerability count, which is what a scanner already tells you.

Running it, start to finish
- Rank direct dependencies by blast radius first.
- Check maintenance signals on everything on the critical path.
- Remove the packages doing a job you could do in a dozen lines.
What you get back
The output this produces, every time.
- Ranks by blast radius and maintenance risk, which a scanner cannot see and which is uncorrelated with CVE count.
- Estimates exit cost, including whether a dependency's shape has leaked into your own signatures.
- Triages scanner findings by reachability rather than by severity label.
Getting better results
Where this usually goes wrong, and how to avoid it.
- Look for single-maintainer critical packages. That combination is the risk people find out about during an incident, and it never appears in a vulnerability report.
- Check whether the API has leaked. A dependency whose types appear in your own function signatures costs far more to replace than its size suggests.
- Do not pin everything forever. It feels safe and accumulates a large, silent upgrade debt that eventually has to be paid all at once.
