Zero-LLM-token, AST-precise rules (SQLi, SSRF, XXE, permissive CORS, prototype pollution, hardcoded secrets) across 8 languages, plus structural checks for reinvented helpers and over-abstraction — findings scoped to only the changed lines, same input always gives the same output, no false-block guarantee. npm i -g diffgate-review (registers as the diffgate command; diffgate mcp starts the server)
