🟡 MEDIUM RISK

Suggestion: Spawning a separate grep process for every file is inefficient. Bundling file arguments using -exec ... {} + and removing the redundant -r flag (since find already handles recursion) will significantly improve performance in repositories with many files.

🔴 HIGH RISK

The exit_code output is currently based on the find command's exit status, which does not reflect the results of the grep search. In GNU find, the exit status is 0 as long as the search completes successfully, even if matches are found. To make this a functional 'gate', the exit code should be set based on whether any findings were actually discovered (e.g., checking if FINDINGS is greater than 0).
