🐍 Python Status

Current: Python 3.11.9 installed but not in PATH Impact: Code analysis sensor skipped Solution:

  1. Restart terminal (to load Python into PATH), OR
  2. VettCode will auto-detect Python in common paths on next scan

Message shown:

⚠️  Some analysis features unavailable: semgrep
   Run: vettcode setup (to enable all features)

✅ Good UX: Clear message about what's missing and how to fix it.

🎉 Test Conclusions

What's Working Perfectly ✅

  1. VettCode branding - Professional, unified identity
  2. Secret detection - Found all API keys, tokens, credentials
  3. User experience - Clear messages, helpful guidance
  4. Output format - Beautiful, easy to understand
  5. Self-contained - No external tool installation needed
  6. Beginner-friendly - Explains what, why, and how to fix

What Needs Python ⚠️

  1. Code analysis - Semgrep requires Python 3.8+
  2. Full coverage - For detecting SQL injection, XSS, etc.

Next Steps 🚀

To get 100% functionality:

# Option 1: Restart terminal (Python already installed)
# Close and reopen terminal, then:
node dist/index.js scan test-sample.js

# Option 2: Manual setup check
node dist/index.js setup

# Option 3: Let VettCode auto-install
node dist/index.js scan test-sample.js
# (Follow prompts if Python still not detected)

📝 Quick Test Commands

Test Single File
