pre-mortem

A code pre-mortem identifies future fragilities in currently working code by generating concrete incident reports. You need it before deployment to anticipate breakage from future edits, releases, or hidden invariants in single-file modules, feature paths, or entire systems.

To run a pre-mortem risk analysis, provide a target scope by selecting File, Feature, or System analysis. The process scans for fragility patterns like implicit ordering and versioning pitfalls, then generates structured incident reports with causal chains, risk scoring, and hardening suggestions.

You can analyze fragility patterns across an entire system, a specific feature path, or a single-file module. The scope selection feature targets investigations appropriately, ensuring the generated incident reports reflect the correct scale of your codebase.

The best way to predict future bugs is running a pre-mortem fragility scan that checks for common issues like implicit ordering, hidden invariants, and versioning pitfalls. It produces prioritized incident reports with causal chains and hardening guidance to prevent breakage.

Yes, pre-mortem incident reporting generates structured reports that include concrete hardening suggestions. Each report features causal chains tracing the fragility, risk scoring guidance for prioritization, and actionable steps to resolve the identified code vulnerabilities.

When scanning for code fragility, expect a capped set of incidents per analysis run due to explicit governance constraints. The scan focuses on known fragility patterns like implicit ordering and hidden invariants, so novel or unprecedented failure modes may require additional review.
