Guides

Task-shaped walkthroughs: each one starts from something you are trying to do and ends with it done. The system documentation is the other half — it explains how Watchdog works rather than what to do with it.

Getting started

From GitHub App to your first baseline
Connect a repository and read the result — what the first number means, and what it does not.

A finding is a work packet
How to hand a finding to whoever fixes it, with enough context that they do not have to re-derive it.

What the survey sees

Code rots even when no one commits
Why a scheduled survey and a daily security watch answer different questions.

Architecture drawn from the code
C4 containers, boundaries and coupling, derived rather than declared.

Security is not a CVE list
What a repository-level security read adds to dependency scanning.

Putting it to work

Which gate to add first
Sequencing CI checks by what the measurement says, not by what is easiest to switch on.

Read-only as a design principle
What a security reviewer will ask, and the answers.
