BridgePreflight

BridgePreflight

The Deployment Risk Intelligence Platform

BridgePreflight is a production-readiness scanner that analyzes your codebase before deployment and generates a structured Deployment Risk Score.

It identifies critical infrastructure weakness such as: • Broken or missing builds • Unsafe environment variable usage • Runtime incompatibility risks • Localhost leakage • Missing lockfiles or Node version enforcement Issues are discovered too late — during staging or production.

BridgePreflight runs locally or in CI to prevent high-risk deployments before they happen.

The Problem Modern teams ship fast.

But deployments often fail because: • Runtime versions are inconsistent • Enviroment variables are misconfigured • Builds silently pass with warnings • Localhost endpoints leak into production • Dependency locking is missing These issues are rarely caught early.

They surface in staging - or worse - in production

The Solution Bridgepreflight introduces Deployment Risk Intelligence directly into your development workflow.

instead of guessing whether a repository is safe to deploy, you get: • A quantified Deployment Risk Sore • Structured analyzer breakdown • Severity classification (Healthy/ Low/ Medium/ High/ Critical) • Clear remediation signals You move from reactive debugging to proactive risk prevention.

What BridgePreflight Analyzes (v1.0.0) Current analyzers include:

1. Build Check • Verifies package.json • Ensures build script exists • Detects TypeScript without proper build configuration • Captures build-time warnings

2. Environment Variables Check • Detects unsafe process.env usage • Flags missing configuration hygiene • Identifies potential production misconfiguration risks

3. Runtime Compatibility Check • Verifies Node engine specification • Detects missing .nvmrc or .node-version • Ensures lockfile presence

4. Localhost Leak Check • Scans for localhost and 127.0.0.1 usage • Prevents accidental production endpoint leakage

Installation

Global Installation (Recommended) npm install -g bridgepreflight

Run: bridgepreflight scan

Or without global install: npx bridgepreflight scan

Example Output Running BridgePreflight scan...

✅ Build Check: HEALTHY (50/50)
❌ Environment Variables Check: HIGH (10/30)
⚠ Localhost Leak Check: LOW (16/20)
❌ Runtime Compatibility Check: HIGH (6/20)

-----------------------------
Total Score: 79/120 (65.8%)
Readiness: High Risk
-----------------------------

Top Risk Factors:
• Environment Variables Check
• Runtime Compatibility Check

JSON Output For machine-readable output:

bridgepreflight scan --json

This enables CI integration and automated risk gating.

Scoring Model BridgePreflight uses a weighted scoring model.

Each analyzer contributes to a maximum composite score (currently 120 points).

Severity is calculated proportionally: • Healthy • Low • Medium • High • Critical

The scoring model is deterministic and transparent.

CI Integration (Coming Next Phase) BridgePreflight is designed to be CI-ready.

Upcoming native integrations: • Pull request gating • GitHub Actions workflow templates • Exit-code enforcement • Team policy thresholds

Roadmap BridgePreflight is evolving into a comprehensive Deployment Risk Intelligence Platform.

Phase 1 - Deterministic CLI (Current) • Local development risk scanning • Weighted analyzer scoring • JSON output for CI integration • Structured severity classification

Phase 2 - Policy & Enforcement • Configurable scoring thresholds • Strict CI mode (--strict, --ci) • COnfigurable analyzer toggling • Exit-code enforcement policies

Phase 3 - Ecosystem Integration • Native GitHub Action • Pull request risk annotations • Historical score comparison • Team-level threshold configuration

Phase 4 - Platform Expansion • Risk history tracking • Deployment trend analysis • Team dashboards • Enterprise compliance modules

Contributing BridgePreflight is currently in early-stage evolution.

Contributions are welcome in the following areas:

• Analyzer improvements
• Performance optimization
• Additional infrastructure checks
• Documentation refinement
• CI templates

To contribute: 1. Fork the repository 2. Create a feature branch 3.Submit a pull request with clear reasoning

All contributions should preserve deterministic scoring logic and architecture stability.

Versioning BridgePreflight follows semantic versioning:

MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH

• MAJOR - Breaking changes
• MINOR - New analyzers or features
• PATCH - Bug fixes and improvements

GitHub releases are tagged accordingly • git tag v1.0.0 • git push --tags

This aligns repository versions with npm releases.

Vision BridgePreflight is not just a CLI tool.

It is the foundation of a Deployment Risk Intelligence Platform — designed to help teams measure, manage, and reduce infrastructure risk before code reaches production.

Infrastructure reliability should be measurable.

BridgePreflight makes it measurable.
