What Google announced
Google's 4 November update describes new CodeMender scanning modes and isolated vulnerability verification. The product remains in preview and includes human checks for local writes and command execution.
What to evaluate
For a pilot, define an authorised repository, permitted changes and patch reviewers. Verify a reproducible finding and its tests before integration. The announcement neither establishes an iabot connection nor proves every proposed fix is valid.
Sources and documentation
Provider announcements and results are attributed to their sources. Use cases are editorial proposals, not our own tests or confirmation of model availability in iabot.
