The Code Whisperer: LLM and Graph-Based AI for Smell and Vulnerability Resolution

arXiv:2604.13114v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Code smells and software vulnerabilities both increase maintenance cost, yet they are often handled by separate tools that miss structural context and produce noisy warnings. This paper presents The Code Whisperer, a hybrid framework that combines graph-based program analysis with large language models to detect, explain, and repair maintainability and security issues within a unified workflow. The method aligns Abstract Syntax Trees (ASTs), Cont
