What is StackSentry and how do I install it?

StackSentry's an open-source security scanner that auto-fixes issues in web stacks like Flask, Django, PHP. Install with `pip install stacksentry` — then scan via CLI.

Is StackSentry safe to run on my production server?

Nope. Stick to test environments. SSH auto-fixes can mess up configs, perms, or worse. Dev begs for breaks — heed that.
