High Risk Issues (3)

resources/implementation-playbook.md:24-494
External Commands Pattern False Positive
Static scanner incorrectly flagged markdown text and ASCII diagrams as Ruby/shell backtick execution. The implementation-playbook.md contains only business methodology documentation with no executable code.
resources/implementation-playbook.md:223
Weak Cryptographic Algorithm False Positive
Static scanner flagged line 223 as 'weak cryptographic algorithm' - the line contains 'Better design/UX' which is business text, not code.
resources/implementation-playbook.md:347-352
System Reconnaissance False Positive
Static scanner flagged line 347 as 'system reconnaissance' - this is a pricing comparison table, legitimate competitive analysis content.
