Show HN: PreFlight – A local AST scanner to catch AI architectural drift

PreFlight is a new open-source AST scanner designed to detect AI architectural drift in local development environments, where AI models or applications deviate from intended designs due to unintended code changes or dependency updates. The tool primarily affects AI/ML pipelines, MLOps workflows, and AI-driven applications that rely on model consistency, with potential risks including model performance degradation, security vulnerabilities, or unintended behavior in production. Developers and AI engineers are the primary users and potential beneficiaries, though adoption requires integration into existing CI/CD pipelines.
