ZMB Standalone Codebase Auditor (zmb_audit.py) A zero-dependency, standalone static analysis tool for Python codebases. Overview zmb_audit.py scans any target Python repository using Python's standard library ast parser to identify structural governance risks and code rot: Orphan Modules: Finds Python modules that exist in the codebase but are imported by nothing. Unresolved Attribute Calls: Detects suspicious method calls across files to missing or renamed symbols.
