SpecFact infers behavior from code patterns. + +### What if the legacy code has no type hints? + +**SpecFact infers types** from usage patterns and generates specs.

Deobfuscation first (if possible) +2. Manual documentation of critical paths +3. Adding contracts incrementally to deobfuscated sections + +### What about code with no tests? + +**SpecFact doesn't require tests.** In fact, code2spec is designed for codebases with: + +- No tests +- No documentation +- No type hints + +SpecFact extracts specs from code structure and patterns, not from tests. + +--- + +## Contract Enforcement + +### Will contracts slow down my code? + +**Minimal impact.** Contract checks are fast (microseconds per call).
