Comprehensive static code analysis toolkit for identifying technical debt, security vulnerabilities, performance issues, and code quality problems

/**
 * @file Missing endpoint detector for frontend-backend integration analysis
 * @description Single responsibility: Identify frontend API calls without corresponding backend endpoints
 * 
 * This module implements cross-reference analysis to identify frontend API calls that
 * lack corresponding backend endpoint implementations. This analysis helps detect
 * integration gaps that could cause runtime failures, incomplete feature implementations,
 * or deployment issues when frontend and backend are developed independently.
 * 
 * Design rationale:
 * - Cross-reference analysis prevents runtime integration failures
 * - Route normalization enables accurate endpoint matching despite format variations
 * - Method-aware comparison ensures complete endpoint coverage validation
 * - Currently implemented as stub for future comprehensive analysis implementation

/**
 * Detect missing backend endpoints using cross-reference analysis (implementation pending)
 * 
 * Technical function: Cross-reference frontend calls against backend endpoints to identify gaps
 * 
 * Implementation rationale (planned):
 * - Route normalization will handle path parameter variations and trailing slashes
 * - Method-specific matching will ensure GET /users doesn't satisfy POST /users calls
 * - Fuzzy matching will handle slight route variations between frontend and backend
 * - Priority scoring will rank missing endpoints by usage frequency and criticality
 * 
 * Analysis strategy (planned):
 * - Normalize both frontend call routes and backend endpoint routes
 * - Create lookup map of backend endpoints by method and normalized route
 * - Iterate through frontend calls to identify unmatched requests
 * - Generate detailed mismatch reports with location and impact information
 * 
 * Missing endpoint patterns to detect:
 * - Exact route mismatches: frontend calls /api/user but backend has /api/users
 * - Method mismatches: frontend POST but backend only supports GET
 * - Missing CRUD operations: frontend expects full REST API but backend partial
 * - Version mismatches: frontend calls /v2/api but backend only implements /v1/api
 * 
 * Integration gap impact assessment:
 * - Critical: Authentication and core functionality endpoints
 * - High: Data modification and creation endpoints
 * - Medium: Data retrieval endpoints with workarounds
 * - Low: Optional features and enhancement endpoints
 * 
 * @param {Array<Object>} frontendCalls - Frontend API calls with method, route, file, line
 * @param {Array<Object>} backendEndpoints - Backend endpoints with method, route, file
 * @returns {Array<Object>} Missing endpoint analysis results (currently empty - implementation pending)
 * @example
 *   const missing = detectMissingEndpoints([
 *     { method: 'POST', route: '/api/users', file: 'UserForm.jsx', line: 15 }
 *   ], [
 *     { method: 'GET', route: '/api/users', file: 'users.js' }
 *   ]);
 *   // Should return: [{ method: 'POST', route: '/api/users', severity: 'HIGH', ... }]
