Running `AnalysisEngine.analyzeProject()` against this repo surfaced three findings worth fixing before the next release. Bundled here because they share a single end-state (a refreshed `TECH_DEBT_SCAN.md`).\n\n## 1. `TECH_DEBT_SCAN.md` is significantly stale\n\n- File claims: **13 issues / Health 95 / Debt 5 / Remediation 14h**\n- Current programmatic scan: **165 issues / Health 54.2 / Debt 45.8** (3d 12h 55m remediation; SQALE rating still **A** becaus\n\n[Read the thread](https://github.com/PierreJanineh/TechDebtMCP/issues/236) · 2026-05-23 · open · outside contributor · 0 comments\n\n### Java analyzer matches patterns inside Javadoc {@code} / <pre> blocks (system-out, likely others)\n\n## Repro\n\nShowcase scan of google/gson @ \\`abfef5e8455483b878a8dea14dd42fa55832a56c\\` surfaced \\`system-out\\` findings inside Javadoc \\`<pre>{@code ... }</pre>\\` documentation blocks — not production code.\n\n**Example — \\`gson/src/main/java/com/google/gson/GsonBuilder.java:300\\`:**\n\n\\`\\`\\`java\n   *\n   * Map<Point, String> original = new LinkedHashMap<>();\n   * original.put(new Point(5, 6), \"a\");\n   * original.put(new Point(8, 8), \"b\");\n   * System.out.println(gson.toJson(original, type));   // <-\n\n[Read the thread](https://github.com/PierreJanineh/TechDebtMCP/issues/228) · 2026-05-23 · open · outside contributor · 0 comments\n\n### eval-usage regex over-matches: flags Ruby instance_eval/class_eval/module_eval as critical security\n\n## Repro\n\nScanned Sinatra at SHA `HEAD` of develop branch.
