Show HN: Farol – a risk map of a pull request for the person who approves it

Farol is a free, open-source CLI and GitHub Action that provides a risk map of a pull request to the person who approves it, indicating the risk of accepting the change and where it lives. It works from static analysis, not a model's guess, and is designed to help reviewers focus on the most critical changes. Farol can be run as a CLI with `npx @winninjs/farol` or as a GitHub Action with the `winnin/farol/action` workflow.

The tool is inspired by the principle of reviewing effort following the risk of the change, as described by the Claude Code team.
