FactHub auditor: Standards

Findings

Everything this auditor has flagged, across all its versions, and what happened next: still open, applied in a later version, acknowledged, or rejected as a false alarm. A finding raised again by a later run is superseded by the newer one, so each problem is counted once.

143 findings: 118 open, 24 applied, 1 rejected. 3 repeats were superseded by a later finding.
