  Offer setup only after a human-requested analysis shows findings and all signals match: `fallow config --path` exits 3, not CI, not a pipeline format, `fallow impact --format json --quiet` has `onboarding_declined: false`, and no offer happened this session. Ask after showing value. Choices: guard commits and PRs, baseline the existing backlog and clean by category, add AGENTS.md guidance, or keep as-is. On decline, run `fallow init --decline --quiet` and stay silent for this project. Mutate only after consent. For guards, inspect `fallow hooks status --format json --quiet`, then use `fallow hooks install --target agent` and `fallow hooks install --target git`; for large backlogs, pair the gate with `--save-baseline` / new-only guidance. Offer `fallow impact enable` as local-only value tracking, never as telemetry; also offer it once on already-configured projects when `fallow impact status --format json` has `enabled: false` and `explicit_decision: false`, and record a no with `fallow impact disable --quiet`. Surface value on clear events: if the agent gate blocked a commit or push and a later retry succeeded, mention what was contained; when `next_steps` carries id `impact-report`, run its command and relay the non-zero numbers to the user in one line. On request, summarize non-zero Impact counts. Ask about telemetry only after such a win, only if `fallow telemetry status --format json` has `explicit_decision: false`, and never run `fallow telemetry enable`.

Add project-local request object names with `security.requestReceivers`; it extends the built-in `req` / `request` / `ctx` / `context` / `event` allowlist for HTTP `query`, `params`, and `body` reads. The setting is additive only and does not gate `*.searchParams`. `hardcoded-secret` and `secret-to-network` are intentionally include-required and only run when listed in `security.categories.include` (`secret-to-network` is opt-in because legitimate auth is also a secret reaching a network call).

Runs the same changed-code analysis as `fallow review` but emits only the decisions, separable and cheap. Always exits 0 (advisory, never a gate); every decision is suppressible with `// fallow-ignore`. Use `--base` / `--changed-since` to pick the comparison point, exactly like `fallow audit`.

  - `usedClassMembers`: class method/property names that extend the built-in Angular/React lifecycle allowlist with framework-invoked names. Each entry is a plain string (global suppression) or a scoped object `{ extends?, implements?, members }` matching only classes with the given heritage. Strings can be exact names (`"agInit"`) or glob patterns (`"*"` matches every member, `"enter*"` prefix, `"*Handler"` suffix, `"on*Event"` combined). Use scoped rules for common names like `refresh` or `execute` to avoid false negatives on unrelated classes; global strings for unique names like `agInit`. Example: `["agInit", { "implements": "ICellRendererAngularComp", "members": ["refresh"] }, { "extends": "BaseCommand", "members": ["execute"] }, { "extends": "GrammarBaseListener", "members": ["enter*", "exit*"] }]`. Glob patterns that match zero members emit a `WARN` so dead allowlist entries surface. An unconstrained scoped rule (no `extends` or `implements`) is rejected at load time.

Applies to Vue, Svelte, Astro, and React/Preact props. The match is on the local alias (`_stage` in `let { stage: _stage } = $props()`), not the public prop name the finding reports (`stage`); matching is unanchored like ESLint's `RegExp.test`, so anchor with `^_`. An invalid regex fails config load. Example: `{ "unusedComponentProps": { "ignorePattern": "^_" } }`

+ The same Tailwind v4 projects also get `css_analytics.token_consumers`, the reverse index: per `@theme` token, where it is consumed (a `consumer_count` plus a located `consumers[]` sample tagged `theme-var` / `css-var` / `utility` / `apply`), so you can read a token's blast radius before changing it. Treat `consumer_count` as a static lower bound: a computed class name such as `bg-${color}` is invisible to the scan, so a `0` here is the same "nothing fallow can see consumes this" population as `unused_theme_tokens`, not a deletion proof. `token_consumers` is descriptive context with no `actions[]`; drive any deletion off `unused_theme_tokens` and its verification command.
488

489
+ `token_consumers` also covers CSS-in-JS token DEFINITIONS (StyleX `defineVars`, vanilla-extract `createTheme` / `createThemeContract` / `createGlobalTheme`), disambiguated by the consumer `kind`: a CSS-in-JS entry has `kind` `js-member`, `token` is the binding-qualified dotted access path (`vars.color.primary`), and `namespace` is the defining binding (`vars`). The cross-file scan resolves only relative imports, so a token consumed through a path alias (`@/tokens`) or a bare-package import is not counted (a sharper lower bound), and unlike Tailwind there is no corroborating dead-token finding, so a CSS-in-JS `consumer_count` of `0` is a weaker signal. Gated on a declared CSS-in-JS library (`@stylexjs/stylex` / `@vanilla-extract/css`); Panda (`defineTokens` / `token('...')`) is a planned follow-on.

  ## CSS Health Candidates Are Advisory
488

489
493
  `fallow health --css` also emits advisory cleanup and typo candidates in `css_analytics.unreferenced_css_classes` (a plain-CSS class defined but matched by no `class`/`className` in project markup), `css_analytics.unresolved_class_references` (the reverse: a markup class one edit away from a defined class, a likely typo), `css_analytics.unused_font_faces`, `css_analytics.undefined_keyframes`, and `css_analytics.font_size_unit_mix`. Treat them like review prompts, not confirmed defects. Run each row's `actions[].command` before changing CSS, because fonts, classes, animations, and type scales can be driven by inline styles, JavaScript, CMS templates, or preprocessor expansion that static analysis intentionally does not execute.
490
494
 
495
+ `fallow health --css` also derives `styling_health`, a descriptive A-F grade (and 0-100 `score`) for CSS quality, scored SEPARATELY from the code `health_score`. It is descriptive-only: it never gates an exit code, badge, or CI, and never affects the code score, so do NOT branch automation on it. Read it as a design-system credibility signal. It weights design-token DRIFT over byte-identical repetition: the `token_erosion` penalty includes a hardcoded-value-sprawl term over distinct `box-shadow` / `border-radius` / `line-height` values, but counts only HARDCODED literals: a system that references its scale via `var(--*)` scores 0 sprawl regardless of how many tokens it defines (so "tokenize repeated values" is the remedy the human output suggests). A grade from a thin CSS surface (or predominantly compile-time-atomic CSS-in-JS like StyleX/Panda) is marked `confidence: "low"` with a reason. `styling_health.formula_version` bumps when the rubric is recalibrated; if you diff the score/grade over time, gate on it and re-baseline at a bump rather than reading the step-change as a regression.
