BEFORE YOU GO LIVE
DOCTRINE No. 06Supply Chain

Your app runs on 47 packages you can't name

AI builds by importing libraries — and it never checks whether those libraries are maintained, vulnerable, or even legal to ship. Your app is only as secure as its weakest import.

Ask yourself how many packages your app actually pulls in. Now ask how many of them you could name. AI-generated code leans heavily on third-party libraries, and it picks them from whatever it was trained on — it doesn't evaluate maintenance status, doesn't check known vulnerabilities, doesn't read licenses. It just imports and moves on. The result: your app stands on a foundation of code you didn't write, don't fully understand, and can't guarantee to a client.

This isn't hypothetical. One audit of an AI-built app turned up a core-function dependency that had been deprecated for 18 months and carried a critical-rated known vulnerability. Replacing it meant rewriting the entire module — two weeks of work that a five-minute look at the dependency tree before shipping would have prevented. Nobody had ever asked the one question that matters: what are we actually importing?

Two checks from this doctrine

Real value, not a teaser — two of the 4 checks in full. The rest are in the one-pager.

List every dependency and justify it.Dump the full dependency tree and walk it. Anything you can't explain the purpose of gets investigated or removed — every package is attack surface you're vouching for.
Scan for known vulnerabilities.Run your ecosystem's audit tool (npm audit, pip-audit, or equivalent) before every release. A critical CVE in a transitive dependency is still your breach.
