No, the Python project structure audit does not modify your source code. It reports findings on layout and file organization issues by enforcing folder presence and conventions, generating a governance-ready report without applying any changes to your files.

You should run a project structure audit when verifying a newly bootstrapped project or preparing an existing repo for a repair pass. It validates environment layout and Python file conventions to ensure mechanical structure issues are detected early.
