Full audit:

  1. Security: path traversal, injection, panics on untrusted input, race conditions
  2. AX compliance: os.Getenv → core.Env, filepath.* → core.Path*, fmt.Sprintf → core.Sprintf, strings.* → core.*, errors.New/fmt.Errorf → core.E
  3. Missing tests: exported functions without test coverage
  4. Error handling: silently dropped errors, bare panics, missing nil checks
  5. UK English: American spellings in comments/docs
  6. Missing usage-example comments on exported identifiers
  7. Missing SPDX licence headers

Report all findings with severity and file:line. Do NOT fix.

Codex Audit Findings

HIGH

  1. Path injection — user-controlled URL segments interpolated directly into API paths without escaping. Affects: contents.go (5 locations), wiki.go (3 locations), actions.go, branches.go, commits.go, issues.go, labels.go, misc.go, notifications.go, orgs.go, packages.go, pulls.go, releases.go, repos.go — nearly every service file. / ? #` can alter target endpoint.

Verification: FAIL

go test passes but misleadingly — one added test asserts wrong combined-status path, escaping tests don't exercise router behaviour. Needs test fixes.
