Run the Security & Privacy Scanner - shippingszn launch readiness

Most modern AI builders (Replit, Lovable, Bolt, Cursor, etc.) ship with a security scanner — a one-click check that goes through your whole project and looks for the common ways apps get hacked, leak data, or accidentally ship dangerous files. Think of it as a smoke detector for your code: it can't fix problems for you, but it tells you exactly where they are before your users find them.

You don't know what you don't know. A scanner catches the obvious dangerous stuff — leaked passwords, outdated libraries with known holes, code patterns that hackers automate against — so you stop those before opening the doors. If your builder doesn't ship one, you can run an open-source equivalent (Snyk, Semgrep) for free.

Owner verification required: shippingszn IS the security scanner referenced by this item. Running `npx shippingszn` and reading the report is the act of completing this checklist item. Mark it complete after a clean scan + reviewing findings.

The Launch Fix Kit keeps scan-specific findings, file and line evidence, AI-builder punch-list tasks, and verification steps tied to the paid report.

Open your builder and look for a "Security Scanner," "Audit," or "Vulnerabilities" panel — it usually has its own tab. If yours doesn't have one, install Snyk or Semgrep (both free for small projects).
Click Run and let it finish. It usually takes a few minutes; longer for big projects.
Sort by severity and look at everything marked Critical or High first. Ignore Low for now.
For each finding, click into it. The scanner explains what's wrong in plain language and often suggests a fix. If you don't understand a finding, paste it into your AI builder and ask "what does this mean and how do I fix it?"
Re-run the scanner after each batch of fixes. You want zero Critical and as few High as possible before launch.
