+# Changelog
+
+## 0.1.0 — 2026-11-05
+
+- Python memory retention investigations, repeated pytest workloads, and offline evidence reports.
+- ASGI lifecycle observation and a persistent investigation queue.
+- Local-model planning with isolated experiment execution.
+- MIT licensing, explicit distribution contents, clean-install and package metadata checks.
+- Bounded artifact reads, atomic evidence writes, stricter measurements, and instrumentation hashes.
+- Initial alpha release. Live-model reliability and production overhead remain unqualified; see `docs/validation.md`.

+# Contributing
+
+Use Python 3.11 or 3.12. Install the locked development environment with `uv sync --frozen`.
+
+Before proposing a change, run:
+
+```sh
+uv run ruff check .
+uv run ruff format --check .
+uv run mypy src/faultfinder
+uv run pytest -m "not docker"
+```
+
+Container changes also require building `faultfinder-worker:local` and running
+`uv run pytest -m docker`. Tests that need Docker must not silently pass when the daemon or
+image is broken; an absent executable is reported as a skip in developer environments.
+
+Keep measurement and verdict logic independent from model output. Add a healthy control when
+adding a detector and preserve incomplete/inconclusive outcomes. Do not weaken lifecycle
+requirements merely to turn a model-generated hypothesis into a verified finding.
+
+Add integrations through adapters and typed schemas. Keep application objects and raw payloads
+out of telemetry. Do not add provider credentials to test fixtures or reports. Generated harnesses
+must execute in the restricted worker, never through a host `exec` call.
+
+Document tested support separately from proposed support. Report actual workloads, repetitions,
+versions, and hardware for performance claims. A small seeded corpus is not an accuracy benchmark
+for all Python projects.

+# Fault Finder
+
+Fault Finder investigates Python memory retention and produces replayable HTML/JSON evidence.
+The Phase 1 implementation separates production observation, isolated investigation, and
+deterministic verification. It does not claim to detect every leak or support every language.
+
+## Development
+
+Requires CPython 3.11 or 3.12 and uv. From this directory:
+
+```sh
+uv sync --python 3.12
+uv run pytest
+uv run ruff check .
+uv run mypy src/faultfinder
+```
+
+## Try it locally
+
+```sh
+uv run faultfinder demo --case listeners --trusted-local
+uv run faultfinder demo --case bounded_cache --trusted-local
+uv run faultfinder inspect path/to/project
+uv run faultfinder check path/to/project --trusted-local --tests tests
+```
+
+Each investigation creates `.faultfinder/reports/<id>/report.html`, `evidence.json`, a source
+snapshot and hash manifest. The demo is a **seeded corpus**, not a discovery in your application.
+Local mode is for your own trusted tests, inherits the controller's installed packages, and
+is not a security sandbox. Generated code cannot run in local mode.
+
+Exit codes: `0` no evidence in the tested workload; `1` finding; `2` inconclusive/configuration.
+Skipped/xfail/failed tests invalidate a trial. Test workloads repeat whole suites after one
+warm-up suite; counts are **suite iterations**, not HTTP requests. Initially use a small test
+selection that can be repeated safely. No application payloads or stdout are saved.
+
+## Isolated execution and agents
+
+```sh
+docker build -t faultfinder-worker:local .
+uv run faultfinder check path/to/project --image faultfinder-worker:local
+uv run faultfinder check path/to/project --model YOUR_INSTALLED_OLLAMA_MODEL
+```
+
+The base worker includes FaultFinder and pytest, not arbitrary application dependencies. Build a
+derived image with the project's pinned dependencies installed **before** investigation.
+Runtime containers have no network. Missing packages or fixtures give an inconclusive result.
+Use your project's locked install method; do not resolve new dependency versions during trials.
+
+Agent mode uses a local Ollama server on `127.0.0.1:11434`. Investigator and planner inspect
+bounded source snippets, then produce a harness. A trusted worker measures weak references,
+allocations and path execution. A reviewer explains the measured result. Model-generated
+experiments can establish reproduced retention; an unreviewed model claim cannot establish
+the application's intended lifecycle. No model is silently downloaded or paid API invoked.
+
+## Production observation
+
+Wrap the ASGI application once:
+
+```python
+from faultfinder.observer import FaultFinderASGI
+
+app = FaultFinderASGI(app)
+```
+
+Run these in separate terminals/services:
+
+```sh
+uv run faultfinder watch path/to/project -- uvicorn app:app --workers 1
+uv run faultfinder worker path/to/project --model YOUR_INSTALLED_OLLAMA_MODEL
+```
+
+The watcher records process memory and optional lifecycle counters. It queues sustained
+growth after warm-up. The worker deduplicates and investigates candidates in Docker. Source
+changes between observation and investigation invalidate the candidate. Without a model,
+the worker uses existing tests and produces weaker growth evidence. Idle applications provide
+no useful lifecycle evidence. Multiple processes are flagged as incomplete coverage.
+
+## Replay and retention
+
+```sh
+uv run faultfinder replay .faultfinder/reports/REPORT_ID --trusted-local
+uv run faultfinder report .faultfinder/reports/REPORT_ID
+uv run faultfinder prune --days 7
+```
+
+Replay validates source and plan hashes. Dependency fingerprints are recorded; Docker image
+IDs pin isolated replay. Local replay can differ if your environment changed. Keep the JSON
+and source bundle alongside the HTML. Reports require no external website or CDN.
+
+## Project structure
+
+`src/faultfinder/` contains discovery, observation, agent planning, execution, measurement,
+verification, persistence, reporting and CLI modules. `tests/` exercises their contracts and
+end-to-end behavior. `examples/` contains small applications for integration checks. `docs/`
+holds the design and measured qualification results. Generated artifacts stay in `.faultfinder/`.
+
+See `docs/validation.md` for what was actually tested on this machine and remaining release
+gates. A reproduced memory increase is not automatically a verified leak or production savings.

fault_finder-0.1.0/SECURITY.md

@@ -0,0 +1,37 @@
+# Security and privacy
+
+This tool executes application tests and, when explicitly enabled, model-generated experiments.
+Use it on projects you trust. It is not a security scanner and does not certify an application
+as safe, leak-free, or production-ready.
+
+## Execution boundaries
+
+- Production observation does not execute generated code or force garbage collection.
+- Generated experiments require the Docker worker. There is no local override for generated
+  probes. `--trusted-local` executes your tests with your OS user's permissions.
+- Containers have no network, a read-only source mount, a non-root user and resource limits.
+  Docker is not a complete boundary against hostile code or kernel vulnerabilities.
+- Python application code runs in the same interpreter as the measurement hooks. Measurements
+  are not tamper-proof. Generated probes cannot produce the strongest verified-bug verdict.
+- Never expose the Docker daemon or mount its socket into an application/experiment container.
+
+## Data handling
+
+Source snapshots, file paths, dependency fingerprints and measurements remain in the selected
+local artifact directory. Model requests go only to the configured loopback Ollama endpoint.
+No analytics or cloud model calls are enabled. Ordinary package/model downloads still require
+network access during setup.
+
+`.env`, Git metadata and known environment directories are excluded from snapshots. However,
+Python files and project configuration can contain hardcoded credentials or private information.
+There is **no comprehensive secret detector**. Review your source and artifacts before sharing
+them. Raw application stdout is discarded; exception details are deliberately limited.
+
+Do not open or replay bundles from unknown parties. Checksums detect accidental changes; they
+are not digital signatures. Keep artifacts in directories writable only by trusted users.
+
+## Reporting vulnerabilities
+
+Do not include credentials, private source or exploitable payloads in public issues. Once the
+public repository exists, use its private vulnerability-reporting channel. Publication must
+configure that channel; no external reporting address is invented in this local project.
