+Based on the limited documentation provided, I'll conduct an architecture review with the available information. However, I must note that this review is constrained by insufficient architectural details in the documentation.

+## Architecture Review: qa-architect
+
+**Verdict: NEEDS REVISION**
+**Overall Score: 45/100**
+
+### Dimension Scores
+
+| Dimension             | Score  | Assessment                                                |
+| --------------------- | ------ | --------------------------------------------------------- |
+| Pattern Selection     | 40/100 | CLI pattern unclear, no architectural patterns documented |
+| Scalability           | 30/100 | No scalability considerations documented                  |
+| Security Architecture | 60/100 | Security features mentioned but implementation unclear    |
+| Simplicity            | 50/100 | Dependencies suggest complexity but design not documented |
+| API Design            | 35/100 | CLI interface not documented, no API specifications       |
+
+### Strengths
+
+1. **Clear Product Vision** - Well-defined target users and pricing tiers
+2. **Multi-language Support** - Supports both JavaScript/TypeScript and Python ecosystems
+3. **Progressive Enhancement** - Free tier with Pro upgrades shows thoughtful monetization
+4. **Quality Focus** - Integrates multiple quality tools (ESLint, Prettier, Husky, etc.)
+
+### Concerns
+
+1. **Insufficient Documentation** → Complete architectural documentation showing components, data flow, and patterns
+2. **Missing Security Architecture** → Document how Gitleaks, ESLint security, and other security features are architected
+3. **No API Design** → Document CLI interface, command structure, configuration schemas
+4. **Unclear Scalability** → Document how the system handles different project sizes and team requirements
+5. **Missing Data Architecture** → Document configuration management, state handling, and data persistence
+6. **No Error Handling Strategy** → Document error handling, recovery, and user feedback patterns
+7. **Dependency Justification Missing** → Explain rationale for 13 production dependencies
+
+### Required Changes (NEEDS REVISION)
+
+- [ ] **Document Core Architecture** - Create detailed architecture diagrams showing components, modules, and data flow
+- [ ] **Define CLI API Design** - Document command structure, options, configuration schemas, and interfaces
+- [ ] **Security Architecture Documentation** - Detail how security scanning, audit features, and Pro tier security work
+- [ ] **Scalability Design** - Document performance considerations, memory usage, and scaling patterns
+- [ ] **Error Handling Strategy** - Define error handling patterns, user feedback, and recovery mechanisms
+- [ ] **Configuration Management** - Document how different project types are detected and configured
+- [ ] **Testing Architecture** - With 104 tests, document testing strategy and patterns
+
+### Alternative Approaches Considered
+
+The documentation doesn't indicate consideration of alternatives. Should have evaluated:
+
+- **CLI Frameworks**: Why not use Commander.js, Yargs, or Oclif for CLI structure?
+- **Configuration Management**: JSON vs YAML vs TypeScript configs
+- **Plugin Architecture**: Extensible vs monolithic design for different languages/tools
+- **Distribution Strategy**: npm package vs standalone binary vs Docker
+
+### Approval
+
+**NEEDS REVISION**: The architecture documentation is insufficient for proper review. While the product concept is solid and the README shows clear market positioning, the actual architectural design is not documented. The auto-generated architecture document provides no meaningful architectural insight.
+
+**Critical Missing Elements:**
+
+1. Component architecture and module organization
+2. CLI command structure and API design
+3. Configuration and state management patterns
+4. Security implementation architecture
+5. Multi-language support architecture
+6. Testing and quality assurance patterns
+
+**Recommendation**: Before implementation proceeds, create comprehensive architecture documentation showing how the system is designed to handle its stated requirements. The gap between the feature-rich product description and the minimal architecture documentation suggests the architecture design phase was incomplete.

+
+| File:Line               | Suggestion                                                   |
+| ----------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------ |
+| lib/package-utils.js:45 | Extract package manager detection to separate class          |
+| lib/licensing.js:178    | Consider using a proper state machine for license validation |
+| lib/telemetry.js:85     | Add data retention policy configuration                      |
+
+### Performance Hotspots
+
+1. **File Scanning Operations**: `lib/project-maturity.js:298` - Multiple synchronous file operations in loops could be parallelized
+2. **Regex Pattern Matching**: `lib/dependency-monitoring-premium.js:224` - Pattern cache could benefit from LRU eviction instead of FIFO
+3. **Template Loading**: `lib/template-loader.js:145` - Recursive directory traversal loads all files into memory simultaneously
+
+### Refactoring Opportunities
+
+1. **Validation Factory Pattern**: The validation classes share similar patterns and could benefit from a common interface
+2. **Configuration Management**: Multiple classes read and parse configuration files independently - consider centralized config service
+3. **Error Handling**: Inconsistent error handling patterns across modules - standardize on a common error handling strategy
+4. **Dependency Injection**: Hard dependencies make testing difficult - consider implementing proper DI container
+
+### Security Analysis
+
+**Strengths:**
+
+- Binary checksum verification in `config-security.js`
+- Path sanitization in error reporter
+- Proper secret redaction in gitleaks integration
+- Input validation in license validator
+
+**Concerns:**
+
+- Command injection risks in shell execution
+- Regex DoS potential with user-controlled patterns
+- File system traversal without proper bounds checking
+
+### Architecture Assessment
+
+The codebase follows a modular structure with clear separation of concerns in most areas. However, there are some architectural concerns:
+
+- **Tight Coupling**: Many modules directly instantiate dependencies rather than receiving them
+- **Mixed Concerns**: Some modules handle both business logic and I/O operations
+- **Configuration Scattered**: Configuration handling is spread across multiple files
+- **Testing Challenges**: Hard dependencies make unit testing difficult
+
+### Code Quality Observations
+
+**Positive:**
+
+- Comprehensive error handling with user-friendly messages
+- Good documentation and JSDoc comments
+- Consistent coding style and naming conventions
+- Security-first approach in critical areas
+
+**Areas for Improvement:**
+
+- Some functions are too large and handle multiple responsibilities
+- Inconsistent async/await vs callback patterns
+- Magic numbers and strings could be extracted to constants
+- Some classes violate single responsibility principle
+
+### Approval
+
+**APPROVED WITH SUGGESTIONS**: The code is production-ready with good security practices and comprehensive functionality. The critical issues are manageable and the overall architecture, while complex, serves the tool's comprehensive feature set well. Address the security vulnerabilities and consider the performance optimizations for the next iteration.

 ## Next Steps
 
-1. **Optional**: Add `.gitleaksignore` to exclude test files with fake license keys
-2. **Verify**: Confirm npm publish completed for 5.0.2 (may be propagating)
-3. **Ready**: Proceed with launch/release announcement
+1. Run `npm run security:audit` (and optional gitleaks scan) before publish
+2. Confirm npm publish and tag for 5.0.7 are visible on npm/GitHub
+3. Add `.gitleaksignore` scoped to test fixtures if false positives remain

 ## Recommendation
 
-**✅ CLEARED FOR LAUNCH**
+**✅ Cleared for launch (5.0.7)**
 
-This is an npm CLI package, not a web application. All critical checks pass:
-
-- Tests passing
-- No security vulnerabilities
-- No real secrets
-- Clean git state
-- Proper versioning and packaging
-
-The gitleaks findings are false positives on intentional test fixtures using fake license key formats.
+Prerelease suite passed for 5.0.7. Run `npm run security:audit`, confirm publish/tag visibility, and handle fixture gitleaks ignores if needed; then proceed with release comms. This remains an npm CLI package (no web surface), so focus stays on docs/CI/security validation.
