What it is useful for

CodeGuards works well for PHP teams that want fast review on changed code without drowning in generic security noise.
PHP applications often combine framework conventions, custom glue code, and fast-moving product changes. CodeGuards helps teams review those changes in context instead of relying only on broad whole-codebase scans.
CodeGuards also supports teams working across TypeScript, Python, Go, and Ruby repositories. PHP just tends to be where the workflow feels especially valuable.
