=============================================================================
  KEY DECISIONS:
=============================================================================

  - Legacy checks preserved in checks/legacy/ with original function pattern
  - New checks use BaseCheck class pattern (modules/*/checks/)
  - Auth uses MSAL redirect flow (not popup) for reliability
  - Root URL renders reporting page directly (no 302 redirect)
  - reference/ and data/supporting/ are gitignored (large test/training data)
  - Backup tarball on Desktop: HM_QC_Bitbucket_backup_20260225_113155.tar.gz
