Structured repair markers that make code stronger at the scars.
kintsugiussy treats bug fixes as structured repair sites: a way to mark where code broke, how it was repaired, and what those scars can teach the system later.
Lets bug fixes become queryable signals rather than vanishing into commit history as one more closed issue.
Frames repair sites as useful engineering evidence, helping teams track where code repeatedly fractures or where fixes changed system behavior.
Useful for engineers who want stronger testing and review loops around failure patterns instead of relying on memory or postmortem folklore.
The project borrows its metaphor from kintsugi: repairs are not hidden, they are made legible. In software terms that means preserving the story of a fix so future work can benefit from it instead of forgetting why the fracture happened.
kintsugiussy sits naturally beside unconformity, churnmap, and stenographussy as part of the catalog's code-quality and review instrumentation cluster.
Record why a defect happened, how it was repaired, and which tests or safeguards were added so future engineers can query the repair instead of rediscovering it.
Track repeated fracture points in a codebase and use those repair markers to prioritize regression tests, review checklists, or incident follow-up work.
kintsugiussy is best understood through the repository and its data model: how fixes are annotated, linked to tests or incidents, and turned into a searchable repair history.
