What Works Zero-dependency setup — no API keys, no accounts, point at a repo and go Security-hardened after three CVEs patched by December 2025 (flag injection prevention, path validation, git_init removed) Well-designed diffs — three separate tools for unstaged, staged, and ref comparison Date-based log filtering — start_timestamp / end_timestamp for "what changed last week" 100% test coverage What Doesn't Work No push, pull, or fetch — Issue #618 open 13 months, PR #2961 untouched since Nov 2025 No merge
