None. All critical violations have been resolved.
---
## Fixed During This Audit
| `src/services/client/types.rs:32` | Raw `String` ID | Changed to `McpExecutionId` typed identifier |
| `src/services/tool_provider/mod.rs:178` | `unwrap_or_default()` | Changed to `.as_deref().unwrap_or("[no error]")` |
| `src/error.rs` | Missing domain-specific errors | Created with `thiserror` error types |
| `src/lib.rs` | Missing error module export | Added `pub mod error` and re-exports |
---
## Warnings (Non-Blocking)
| `src/services/orchestrator/mod.rs` | File at 300 lines (borderline limit) | Code Quality |
| `src/services/database/state.rs:11,20` | `get_*` functions returning `Option` should be named `find_*` | Code Quality |
| `src/services/process/pid_manager.rs:38,66,120,191` | `get_*`/`find_*` functions returning `Option` - inconsistent naming | Code Quality |
| Multiple files | Remaining `anyhow` usage could migrate to `McpError` | Tech Debt |
---
## Tech Debt Items
| Multiple files | Hardcoded timeout durations (30, 100, 200, 500, 1000ms) should be constants | Medium |
| `src/services/lifecycle/startup.rs:64` | Magic number: `max_attempts = 15` should be a constant | Low |
| `src/services/network/port_manager.rs:50` | Magic number: `max_attempts = 10` should be a constant | Low |

## Checklist Summary
### Zero-Tolerance (Publication Blockers)
- [x] Zero inline comments (`//`)
- [x] Zero doc comments (`///`)
- [x] Zero `unwrap()` calls
- [x] Zero `panic!()`, `todo!()`, `unimplemented!()`
- [x] Zero `unsafe` blocks
- [x] Zero raw String IDs - **Fixed**
- [x] Zero non-macro SQLX calls
- [x] Zero SQL in service files
- [x] Zero forbidden dependencies
- [x] Zero `#[cfg(test)]` modules

## Verdict Criteria
**CLEAN**: Zero critical violations, ready for crates.io
**NEEDS_WORK**: Minor issues, can publish with warnings
**CRITICAL**: Blocking issues, must resolve before publication
**Current Status: CLEAN**
All critical violations have been resolved. Remaining items are warnings/recommendations.
### Recommended Future Improvements
1. Extract timeout durations to constants
2. Rename `get_binary_mtime*` to `find_binary_mtime*` for naming consistency
3. Gradually migrate `anyhow` usages to `McpError` where appropriate
