Is vela production-ready?

Legit.Show scores vela null out of 100 — the simple average of its 0 measured frames. Legit.Show ran its deterministic 7-Frame production-readiness benchmark on vela (github assessment), measured from the public surface with no LLM in the scoring path. 0 of the seven frames returned a score; Performance, Accessibility, Security, Privacy, Reliability, Standards and Discoverability were not measurable on this service and are recorded as null — not as zero. Every frame it averages is published with its evidence on the Legit.Show listing.
