81 detections we were silently throwing away

The line-scan engine treated # and // as comment markers in every language — truncating URLs in Bash and private fields in TypeScript. Language-aware stripping recovered 81 real findings across 2,915 files, with zero new false positives.

TrueMend is on PyPI — and it is open-core

pip install truemend. Every AST analysis, every detection spec, the deterministic fixes, the MCP server and SARIF/CI integration are free forever. Pro and Max buy reporting and judgment, not detection.

Introducing Truemend: deterministic code quality at scale

5,543 anti-pattern specs. 22 languages. Three-tier remediation. AST-level pattern matching gives us the precision of a compiler with the breadth of a linter — meet the engine.
