### ⚠️ Issues Identified

#### Minor Issues (Non-blocking)
1. **Engine Version Warning**
   ```
   EBADENGINE: required: { node: '>=18.0.0 <=22.0.0', npm: '>=8.0.0' }
   current: { node: 'v24.1.0', npm: '11.3.0' }
   ```
   - **Impact:** Warning only, package still works
   - **Recommendation:** Update engine constraint to support Node.js 24.x

2. **Binary Conflict During Install**
   ```
   EEXIST: file already exists /opt/homebrew/bin/gf
   ```
   - **Impact:** Requires --force flag for installation
   - **Recommendation:** Consider renaming conflicting binaries

3. **Deprecated Dependencies**
   - Multiple npm warnings for deprecated packages
   - **Impact:** Security and maintenance concerns
   - **Recommendation:** Update to latest versions

4. **API Configuration**
   - Doctor command shows missing API keys (expected)
   - Health checks fail without configuration
   - **Impact:** Expected behavior, good error handling

### ✅ Security Validation
- **Package Signatures:** ✅ Valid NPM signatures present
- **File Integrity:** ✅ SHA-512 checksums valid
- **No Malicious Code:** ✅ Code review passed
- **License:** ✅ MIT license properly declared

### ✅ Documentation Quality
