+# cadence-diff (QC Tool)
+
+Local, read-only QC for recurring ("cadence") reporting deliverables —
+Excel workbooks and PowerPoint decks. Everything runs on your machine,
+binds to `127.0.0.1` only, never modifies source files, and uses no LLMs
+or external services.
+
+## Three QC modes
+
+| Mode | Inputs | What it answers |
+|---|---|---|
+| **Current-file preflight** | latest Excel and/or PPT | Is this file internally sound? (error literals, cleared/inconsistent formulas, period sequence, draft tokens, blanks, broken links…) |
+| **Cycle comparison** | baseline + current | What changed vs last cycle — with expected cadence growth isolated from real errors (shift-aware formula compare, growth-aware alignment). |
+| **Final-package QC** | current Excel + current PPT | Do the deck's figures reconcile to the workbook? (suggest → confirm → persist source mappings; coverage reporting.) |
+
+Every run reports explicit coverage — checked / degraded / unavailable —
+so a check that could not run is never silently treated as passed.
+Findings support analyst severity overrides and comments; exports
+(annotated Excel workbook, self-contained HTML) regenerate from the
+reviewed state.
+
+The structural engine models Excel tables and structured references, mixed
+cadence bands, every plot and named series in combo charts, chart axes/legends/
+labels/geometry, data validation, conditional formatting, bounded and symbolic
+formula dependencies, and explicit future-blank availability rules. PowerPoint
+uses collision-safe shape identities, semantic table/chart/plot/series matching,
+separate speaker notes, and visible chart-label anchors for Excel reconciliation.
+Unsupported representations degrade the relevant check instead of becoming a
+false pass.
+
+OOXML loading streams worksheet content, verifies physical cells independently
+of declared dimensions, and reports workload evidence from uncompressed XML,
+shared strings, styles, cell counts, and sheet bounds. Pathological packages
+are refused before expensive parsing unless the operator deliberately enables
+the per-run override. Findings budgets and low-confidence alignment are always
+disclosed through summary findings and degraded coverage rather than silently
+truncating or guessing.
+
+## Install & run
+
+```bash
+pip install cadence-diff
+cadence-diff                    # web UI → http://127.0.0.1:8080
+cadence-diff --port 9000 --data-dir ~/qc-data
+qc-tool                         # compatibility alias
+python -m qc_tool               # equivalent
+```
+
+The web UI includes a packaged **Guide** page at `/guide`. It covers mode
+selection, files, profiles and controls, coverage/severity, finding review,
+Excel↔PPT mappings, Re-QC, privacy artifacts, CLI automation, network access,
+troubleshooting, and the sign-off checklist. Context links from the run page
+jump directly to the relevant guide section.
+
+### Headless / scripting
+
+```bash
+# CI-style QC: exit 0 clean, 2 when findings at/above --fail-on exist
+cadence-diff run --baseline-excel last.xlsx --current-excel this.xlsx \
+                 --profile monthly --json findings.json --progress
+cadence-diff run --current-excel this.xlsx            # preflight (inferred)
+cadence-diff run --current-excel x.xlsx --current-ppt d.pptx   # package QC
+
+# Only after reviewing workload refusal and confirming sufficient local memory
+cadence-diff run --current-excel unusually-large.xlsx \
+  --allow-large-workbooks
+
+# Local numeric scrambling only — NOT privacy-safe or shareable
+cadence-diff sanitize client_pack.xlsx --seed 7
+
+# Strict, fail-closed redaction + recursive OOXML privacy verification
+cadence-diff sanitize client_pack.xlsx --seed 7 --redact-text \
+  --output client_pack.sanitized.xlsx
+cadence-diff verify-sanitized client_pack.sanitized.xlsx \
+  --forbid "Client Name" --json privacy-report.json
+
+# Structural-only evidence: no values, text, formulas, paths, or identifiers
+cadence-diff fingerprint client_pack.xlsx --output client_pack.fingerprint.json
+
+# Sanitize an Excel/PPT package together and reverify confirmed mappings
+cadence-diff sanitize-package --excel current.xlsx --ppt current.pptx \
+  --profile monthly --output-dir sanitized-package --forbid "Client Name"
+
+# Signed evidence bundle; verify every member and manifest signature
+cadence-diff run --current-excel this.xlsx --fail-on never \
+  --attestation run.qca
+cadence-diff verify-attestation run.qca
+
+# Validate a profile — optionally against the real files it targets
+cadence-diff lint monthly.yaml --against-excel this.xlsx --against-ppt d.pptx
+```
+
+`qc-tool` remains a compatibility alias. Headless runs record into the same
+history the web UI shows. `--progress` writes phase updates to stderr, leaving
+normal stdout and JSON files unchanged. The web UI shows the same phases and a
+Cancel control; cancellation stops at the next safe boundary, removes partial
+reports, and does not record a successful run.
+
+JSON exports omit raw cell neighborhoods and mapping-candidate values by
+default. `--json-context` includes them for private diagnostics and must not be
+treated as a shareable artifact. For encrypted files, prefer
+`--password-env`, a mode-600 `--password-file`, or `--password-prompt`; inline
+`--password ROLE=PW` is retained for compatibility but exposes secrets in shell
+history and process listings.
+
+### Network exposure
+
+The server defaults to loopback. Temporary network access is explicit,
+time-bounded, and **has no built-in authentication or TLS**:
+
+```bash
+qc-tool network status
+qc-tool network lan --minutes 60
+qc-tool --port 8001                 # reads the persisted temporary config
+qc-tool network local              # running LAN server shuts down within 2s
+
+# one-process override (also persisted so status/UI agree)
+qc-tool --port 8001 --network lan --expose-for 60
+```
+
+LAN mode binds `0.0.0.0`, displays an exposure warning in the UI, shuts the
+server down at expiry, and resets the persisted config to local. Router port
+forwarding and host firewalls are separate; public Internet exposure is not
+recommended without an authenticated TLS reverse proxy.
+
+Runs, uploads, profiles, and history live in a per-user data directory
+(`--data-dir` to override). Supported inputs: `.xlsx`, `.xlsm`, `.xlsb`
+and `.pptx`, including password-protected files.
+
+### XLSB formula enrichment
+
+The original XLSB remains read-only and `pyxlsb` remains authoritative for its
+saved values. Formula text is enriched through a platform spreadsheet engine
+only after an independent BIFF12 scan identifies every formula coordinate:
+
+- **Windows:** a licensed desktop Excel installation in an interactive user
+  session. The conditional `pywin32` dependency is installed with the package.
+  Excel runs in a bounded worker with links, events, calculation, and VBA
+  automation disabled; only `Formula2` text is accepted.
+- **Linux:** `libreoffice` and `bwrap` must be installed on the host. Conversion
+  runs in a private bubblewrap sandbox with no network and a read-only host
+  filesystem; only formulas from the temporary OOXML copy are accepted.
+
+The source and extracted formula-coordinate sets must match exactly. Active
+content, external data, missing platform tools, timeouts, malformed packages,
+or any mismatch fail closed to **presence-only** formula coverage. That fallback
+still checks formula hardcodes, removals, missing fill formulas, and saved error
+values, but does not claim logic, consistency, or formula-text error checks.
+Temporary decrypted/conversion files are private and removed after each load.
+The Windows worker is implemented and protocol-tested, but must still pass the
+restricted corporate Windows/Excel pilot before production sign-off.
+
+Strict sanitization supports `.xlsx` and `.pptx`. Macro-enabled `.xlsm` is
+refused because VBA can retain credentials and client identifiers; create and
+review a macro-free `.xlsx` copy first. The redaction manifest and privacy
+verifier report what was removed, transformed, skipped, or unverifiable.
+
+## Development
+
+The development environment is Conda/Miniforge:
+
+```bash
+conda env create -f environment.yml
+conda run -n cadence-diff-dev python main.py        # dev server, repo-local ./data
+conda run -n cadence-diff-dev pytest -x -q          # 400+ tests, fixture-driven
+conda run -n cadence-diff-dev ruff check .
+conda run -n cadence-diff-dev pyright
+```
+
+Tests are contract-driven: `tests/fixtures/generate.py` builds synthetic
+deliverable pairs with a ground-truth defect manifest, and the E2E suite
+asserts both directions — every seeded defect detected, and no finding
+without a seeded cause.
+
+### Layout

+  excel/       regions, alignment, value/structure/formula QC, deps, preflight

+
+## Publishing (maintainers)
+
+Releases are built and validated by GitHub Actions, then published through PyPI
+Trusted Publishing. Create an annotated version tag matching
+`qc_tool.__version__`, publish the corresponding GitHub Release, and promote the
+exact workflow-built artifacts. Do not upload manually or rebuild between
+validation and publication.

+
+`qc-tool` remains a compatibility alias. Headless runs record into the same
+history the web UI shows. `--progress` writes phase updates to stderr, leaving
+normal stdout and JSON files unchanged. The web UI shows the same phases and a
+Cancel control; cancellation stops at the next safe boundary, removes partial
+reports, and does not record a successful run.
+
+JSON exports omit raw cell neighborhoods and mapping-candidate values by
+default. `--json-context` includes them for private diagnostics and must not be
+treated as a shareable artifact. For encrypted files, prefer
+`--password-env`, a mode-600 `--password-file`, or `--password-prompt`; inline
+`--password ROLE=PW` is retained for compatibility but exposes secrets in shell
+history and process listings.
+
+### Network exposure
+
+The server defaults to loopback. Temporary network access is explicit,
+time-bounded, and **has no built-in authentication or TLS**:
+
+```bash
+qc-tool network status
+qc-tool network lan --minutes 60
+qc-tool --port 8001                 # reads the persisted temporary config
+qc-tool network local              # running LAN server shuts down within 2s
+
+# one-process override (also persisted so status/UI agree)
+qc-tool --port 8001 --network lan --expose-for 60
+```
+
+LAN mode binds `0.0.0.0`, displays an exposure warning in the UI, shuts the
+server down at expiry, and resets the persisted config to local. Router port
+forwarding and host firewalls are separate; public Internet exposure is not
+recommended without an authenticated TLS reverse proxy.
+
+Runs, uploads, profiles, and history live in a per-user data directory
+(`--data-dir` to override). Supported inputs: `.xlsx`, `.xlsm`, `.xlsb`
+and `.pptx`, including password-protected files.
+
+### XLSB formula enrichment
+
+The original XLSB remains read-only and `pyxlsb` remains authoritative for its
+saved values. Formula text is enriched through a platform spreadsheet engine
+only after an independent BIFF12 scan identifies every formula coordinate:
+
+- **Windows:** a licensed desktop Excel installation in an interactive user
+  session. The conditional `pywin32` dependency is installed with the package.
+  Excel runs in a bounded worker with links, events, calculation, and VBA
+  automation disabled; only `Formula2` text is accepted.
+- **Linux:** `libreoffice` and `bwrap` must be installed on the host. Conversion
+  runs in a private bubblewrap sandbox with no network and a read-only host
+  filesystem; only formulas from the temporary OOXML copy are accepted.
+
+The source and extracted formula-coordinate sets must match exactly. Active
+content, external data, missing platform tools, timeouts, malformed packages,
+or any mismatch fail closed to **presence-only** formula coverage. That fallback
+still checks formula hardcodes, removals, missing fill formulas, and saved error
+values, but does not claim logic, consistency, or formula-text error checks.
+Temporary decrypted/conversion files are private and removed after each load.
+The Windows worker is implemented and protocol-tested, but must still pass the
+restricted corporate Windows/Excel pilot before production sign-off.
+
+Strict sanitization supports `.xlsx` and `.pptx`. Macro-enabled `.xlsm` is
+refused because VBA can retain credentials and client identifiers; create and
+review a macro-free `.xlsx` copy first. The redaction manifest and privacy
+verifier report what was removed, transformed, skipped, or unverifiable.
+
+## Development
+
+The development environment is Conda/Miniforge:
+
+```bash
+conda env create -f environment.yml
+conda run -n cadence-diff-dev python main.py        # dev server, repo-local ./data
+conda run -n cadence-diff-dev pytest -x -q          # 400+ tests, fixture-driven
+conda run -n cadence-diff-dev ruff check .
+conda run -n cadence-diff-dev pyright
+```
+
+Tests are contract-driven: `tests/fixtures/generate.py` builds synthetic
+deliverable pairs with a ground-truth defect manifest, and the E2E suite
+asserts both directions — every seeded defect detected, and no finding
+without a seeded cause.
