Why it matters in practice
Ruby Source Code Auditing matters because it shapes how an operator scopes the work, chooses validation steps, prioritizes evidence and explains risk. The point is not to accumulate trivia; it is to understand which control boundary is in play and how that boundary can fail under realistic pressure.
This note keeps ruby source code auditing tied to offensive workflow: what to observe, what to prove, what usually goes wrong, and which references remain useful once an assessment moves from planning into active validation.
