  "summary": "A successful code scan proves that a document was rebuilt from routes that the scan could resolve, but it does not prove that the implementation conforms to the specification, behaves correctly at runtime, or is free of defects. The scan creates a validated OpenAPI 3.2 document with routes proven through framework tracing and AST analysis, and contracts classified by the completeness gate. However, what the scan actually establishes is a statement about the document and its provenance, not a statement about runtime behavior. Confusing the two can lead to over-trust in the scan results.",
