Documentation

Docs & audits

These are the documents that ship with the package, rendered verbatim rather than rewritten. The limitations file is the one to read first.

Product documentation

  • README

    What the product is, the three disciplines it enforces, and how to run it.

  • Known limitations

    Read this before relying on anything. A limitation documented here is worth more than one discovered by opposing counsel.

  • Data protection

    What is processed, whose it is, the erasure argument, and the DPIA input pack. Read it before your first seal.

  • Operations runbook

    For whoever gets paged. This system fails quietly; every procedure here turns one of those silences into a signal.

The audits

Four independent adversarial audits were commissioned against this codebase: cryptographic, application security, enterprise readiness, and data protection. Between them they produced 86 findings, including three that invalidated the product’s core promise — report content read from an unsigned channel, Merkle inclusion proofs accepted without checking the path, and a PROVEN grade that was unreachable while a fabricated timestamp satisfied quorum.

They are published here in full, opening verdicts included. Every one of them begins by saying no. Publishing the criticism alongside the fix is the only version of this that is consistent with what the product claims to be.

Machine-readable

/llms.txt — product description written for a model that will answer questions about this product without reading anything else, with the limitations section as its longest part.
