+
+      "Derivative Works" shall mean any work, whether in Source or Object
+      form, that is based on (or derived from) the Work and for which the
+      editorial revisions, annotations, elaborations, or other modifications
+      represent, as a whole, an original work of authorship. For the purposes
+      of this License, Derivative Works shall not include works that remain

+      worldwide, non-exclusive, no-charge, royalty-free, irrevocable
+      copyright license to reproduce, prepare Derivative Works of,

+
+   3. Grant of Patent License. Subject to the terms and conditions of
+      this License, each Contributor hereby grants to You a perpetual,

+      (except as stated in this section) patent license to make, have made,
+      use, offer to sell, sell, import, and otherwise transfer the Work,

+      by such Contributor that are necessarily infringed by their
+      Contribution(s) alone or by combination of their Contribution(s)
+      with the Work to which such Contribution(s) was submitted. If You
+      institute patent litigation against any entity (including a
+      cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that the Work
+      or a Contribution incorporated within the Work constitutes direct
+      or contributory patent infringement, then any patent licenses
+      granted to You under this License for that Work shall terminate
+      as of the date such litigation is filed.
+
+   4. Redistribution. You may reproduce and distribute copies of the
+      Work or Derivative Works thereof in any medium, with or without
+      modifications, and in Source or Object form, provided that You
+      meet the following conditions:
+
+      (a) You must give any other recipients of the Work or
+          Derivative Works a copy of this License; and
+
+      (b) You must cause any modified files to carry prominent notices
+          stating that You changed the files; and
+
+      (c) You must retain, in the Source form of any Derivative Works
+          that You distribute, all copyright, patent, trademark, and
+          attribution notices from the Source form of the Work,
+          excluding those notices that do not pertain to any part of
+          the Derivative Works; and
+
+      (d) If the Work includes a "NOTICE" text file as part of its
+          distribution, then any Derivative Works that You distribute must
+          include a readable copy of the attribution notices contained
+          within such NOTICE file, excluding those notices that do not
+          pertain to any part of the Derivative Works, in at least one
+          of the following places: within a NOTICE text file distributed
+          as part of the Derivative Works; within the Source form or
+          documentation, if provided along with the Derivative Works; or,
+          within a display generated by the Derivative Works, if and
+          wherever such third-party notices normally appear. The contents
+          of the NOTICE file are for informational purposes only and
+          do not modify the License. You may add Your own attribution
+          notices within Derivative Works that You distribute, alongside
+          or as an addendum to the NOTICE text from the Work, provided
+          that such additional attribution notices cannot be construed
+          as modifying the License.
+
+      You may add Your own copyright statement to Your modifications and
+      may provide additional or different license terms and conditions
+      for use, reproduction, or distribution of Your modifications, or
+      for any such Derivative Works as a whole, provided Your use,
+      reproduction, and distribution of the Work otherwise complies with
+      the conditions stated in this License.
+
+   5. Submission of Contributions. Unless You explicitly state otherwise,
+      any Contribution intentionally submitted for inclusion in the Work
+      by You to the Licensor shall be under the terms and conditions of
+      this License, without any additional terms or conditions.
+      Notwithstanding the above, nothing herein shall supersede or modify
+      the terms of any separate license agreement you may have executed
+      with Licensor regarding such Contributions.
+
+   6. Trademarks. This License does not grant permission to use the trade
+      names, trademarks, service marks, or product names of the Licensor,
+      except as required for reasonable and customary use in describing the
+      origin of the Work and reproducing the content of the NOTICE file.
+
+   7. Disclaimer of Warranty. Unless required by applicable law or
+      agreed to in writing, Licensor provides the Work (and each
+      Contributor provides its Contributions) on an "AS IS" BASIS,
+      WITHOUT WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, either express or
+      implied, including, without limitation, any warranties or conditions
+      of TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY, or FITNESS FOR A
+      PARTICULAR PURPOSE. You are solely responsible for determining the
+      appropriateness of using or redistributing the Work and assume any
+      risks associated with Your exercise of permissions under this License.
+
+   8. Limitation of Liability. In no event and under no legal theory,
+      whether in tort (including negligence), contract, or otherwise,
+      unless required by applicable law (such as deliberate and grossly
+      negligent acts) or agreed to in writing, shall any Contributor be
+      liable to You for damages, including any direct, indirect, special,
+      incidental, or consequential damages of any character arising as a
+      result of this License or out of the use or inability to use the
+      Work (including but not limited to damages for loss of goodwill,
+      work stoppage, computer failure or malfunction, or any and all
+      other commercial damages or losses), even if such Contributor
+      has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
+
+   9. Accepting Warranty or Additional Liability. While redistributing
+      the Work or Derivative Works thereof, You may choose to offer,
+      and charge a fee for, acceptance of support, warranty, indemnity,
+      or other liability obligations and/or rights consistent with this
+      License. However, in accepting such obligations, You may act only
+      on Your own behalf and on Your sole responsibility, not on behalf
+      of any other Contributor, and only if You agree to indemnify,
+      defend, and hold each Contributor harmless for any liability
+      incurred by, or claims asserted against, such Contributor by reason
+      of your accepting any such warranty or additional liability.
+
+   END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
+
+   APPENDIX: How to apply the Apache License to your work.

+
+## What it does
+
+Meridian exposes six MCP tools that any AI coding assistant can call:
+
+| Tool | Description |
+|---|---|
+| `scan_repository` | Scan a local repo for compliance violations — returns a Markdown report with line numbers, regulatory citations, and fixes |
+| `evaluate_policy` | Check a privacy policy, DPA, or model card for compliance gaps |
+| `explain_violation` | Get a plain-English explanation of any regulatory clause with exact penalties |
+| `show_models` | List all supported LLM providers and configuration instructions |
+| `cache_status` | Show or clear the local SQLite scan cache |
+| `check_health` | Verify server config, detected API keys, and licence status |
+
+### How scanning works
+
+```
+Your code → AST slicer → Stage 1 (Evaluator LLM) → candidate violations
+                       → Stage 2 (Critic LLM)    → confirmed violations
+                       → SHA-256 SQLite cache     → zero cost on re-scan
+```
+
+- **Stage 1** finds candidate violations across all file × framework pairs concurrently
+- **Stage 2** runs a second LLM to disprove HIGH/CRITICAL findings, eliminating false positives
+- **Cache** skips re-evaluation of unchanged files — only new or modified code is sent to the API
+
+### Supported frameworks
+
+| Framework | Tier | Key penalties |
+|---|---|---|
+| `dpdpa` — DPDPA 2023 + Rules 2025 | **Free** | ₹250 Cr security failure · ₹200 Cr breach notification · ₹200 Cr children's data |
+| `rbi` — RBI FREE-AI Aug 2025 | Pro | 7 Sutras — fairness, explainability, security, accountability |
+| `eu` — EU AI Act Art. 9 | Pro | €30M / 6% global turnover for high-risk system failures |
+| `sebi` — SEBI AI/ML Guidelines Jun 2025 | Pro | SEBI §5.1–§5.5 pillars |
+
+---
+
+## Supported LLM providers
+
+Meridian uses [litellm](https://github.com/BerriAI/litellm) — **you bring your own API key, Meridian never touches your credentials.**
+
+| Provider | Key env var | Example models |
+|---|---|---|
+| Anthropic | `ANTHROPIC_API_KEY` | `claude-opus-4-8`, `claude-haiku-4-5` |
+| OpenAI | `OPENAI_API_KEY` | `gpt-5.4-pro`, `gpt-5.4-nano` |
+| Gemini | `GEMINI_API_KEY` | `gemini/gemini-3.5-flash` |
+| Groq | `GROQ_API_KEY` | `groq/meta-llama/llama-4-maverick-17b-128e-instruct` |
+| OpenRouter | `OPENROUTER_API_KEY` | `openrouter/anthropic/claude-opus-4-8` |
+| AWS Bedrock | `AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID` + `AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY` + `AWS_REGION_NAME` | `bedrock/anthropic.claude-opus-4-8-20260501-v1:0` |
+| Ollama (local) | *(none)* | `ollama/llama4:scout`, `ollama/mistral` |
+
+You can mix providers — e.g. Anthropic for Stage 1 and Groq for Stage 2 (cheapest critic):
+
+```
+MERIDIAN_EVALUATOR_MODEL=claude-opus-4-8
+MERIDIAN_CRITIC_MODEL=groq/llama-3.1-8b-instant
+```

+## CI/CD gate (`meridian-ci`)
+
+Block PR merges on CRITICAL violations with a single step:
+
+```yaml
+# .github/workflows/compliance.yml
+- name: Meridian Compliance Gate
+  run: meridian-ci --dir . --frameworks dpdpa --fail-on critical
+  env:
+    ANTHROPIC_API_KEY: ${{ secrets.ANTHROPIC_API_KEY }}
+    MERIDIAN_EVALUATOR_MODEL: claude-opus-4-8
+    MERIDIAN_CRITIC_MODEL: claude-haiku-4-5
+```
+
+**Exit codes:**
+
+| Code | Meaning |
+|---|---|
+| `0` | All checks passed |
+| `1` | Violations at or above `--fail-on` threshold found |
+| `2` | Configuration error (missing API key, bad env var) |
+
+**Options:**
+
+```
+meridian-ci --dir .

+## Quick start (inside your AI assistant)
+
+Once the MCP server is connected:
+
+```
+check_health()                                 # verify setup and detected keys
+show_models()                                  # see all providers and config options
+scan_repository(path=".", frameworks="dpdpa")  # scan current repo
+evaluate_policy(policy_text="...")             # check a privacy policy
+explain_violation(statutory_clause="DPDPA §6(1)")  # plain-English explanation
+cache_status()                                 # view cache stats
+cache_status(clear=True)                       # wipe cache

+
+## Privacy
+
+- **Zero telemetry.** Meridian sends no usage data anywhere.
+- **Keys never leave your machine.** API keys are read from your environment and passed directly to the provider SDK — Meridian has no server, no proxy, no logging of credentials.
+- **Code stays local until you call a tool.** The secret redactor (`security.py`) strips API keys, JWTs, and high-entropy strings from code slices before they are sent to any LLM.
+- **Cache is local.** Scan results are stored in `~/.meridian/cache.db` on your machine only.
