Mapping a legacy codebase involves enumerating the directory structure and identifying probable application entry points by reading standard configuration and dependency manifests. The process generates an inventory and structured surface context to accelerate intent reconstruction.

Project inventory and dependency discovery for reverse engineering is achieved by scanning configuration files and manifests to detect technologies and dependency versions. This generates an inventory document and a structured surface profile highlighting routing and CI/CD definitions.

Yes, surface mapping detects languages, frameworks, and dependency versions from common manifests and config files. It specifically finds likely application entry points, configuration locations, and CI/CD pipeline definitions so behavior can be traced.

Reconnaissance on a large legacy system requires excluding irrelevant directories to capture the full directory tree accurately. This targeted surface mapping exposes what exists in the project while reducing noise for downstream analysis.

Generating a structured surface.json file for governance analysis involves enumerating the project surface and reading dependency manifests. This produces a structured context file conforming to the required schema, providing inventories and routing hints for downstream agents.

Reversa-scout performs superficial project reconnaissance rather than deep code analysis. It provides a superficial view of database schema presence and estimates test coverage to produce an actionable starting inventory that guides the next reverse-engineering steps.
