Automated PCI Secure Software Standard (SSS) v2.0 readiness gap-assessment of an application from its source code and documentation. Deterministically enumerates every applicable Test Requirement from a pinned catalog, gathers source/doc evidence, and emits an evidence-bound per-requirement verdict (MET / NOT_MET / PARTIALLY_MET / NOT_APPLICABLE / REQUIRES_MANUAL_REVIEW) with file+line citations, then a Transilience gap report. Use when asked to assess, gap-assess, or check an application's readiness against the PCI Secure Software Standard v2.0 / PCI SSF, or to map source code and design docs to PCI SSS Security Objectives and Test Requirements. Produces a readiness gap-analysis only — NOT an official PCI validation.
