threat model
a map of what could go wrong and what to protect
A threat model lays out what a system is worth protecting, who might attack it, and how — so effort goes to the real risks rather than everything at once. Building one is usually expert work done up front; here, the AI drafts one automatically from the code so its search for flaws is guided rather than blind.
Think of it as
A building's security plan: which doors matter, who might try them, and where to put the cameras.
