Beware the Dreaded Dead End!!
summary
An over-the-top AI pathfinding algorithm takes broken Ruby source, uses the Ripper lexer to tokenise and a goal-seeking explorer that comments out largest-indentation blocks until a valid parse appears, then reports the inferring missing keywords and line ranges. The engineered tool is packaged as the dead end gem, claims 100 lost developer hours rescued and 78.3% desire satisfied, has 144,000+ downloads, and demonstrably finds and highlights the offending syntax.
