# Glide App Audit

Comprehensive performance audit tool for Glide applications. Analyzes data architecture and layout design to identify bottlenecks, anti-patterns, and optimization opportunities.

## ⚠️ Read-Only Guarantee

**This tool is 100% read-only and NEVER modifies your app:**
- ✅ Reads data via API (GET requests only)
- ✅ Navigates through Layout Editor to inspect screens
- ✅ Takes snapshots to analyze components
- ✅ Clicks to view settings panels (read-only)
- ❌ NEVER edits columns, components, or settings
- ❌ NEVER adds or deletes anything
- ❌ NEVER saves any changes
- ❌ NEVER modifies data or structure

**Safe to run anytime** - Your app remains exactly as it was before the audit.
