+# Tracevity CLI
+
+**A trace tells you what was recorded. Tracevity tells you what you can reconstruct from it.**
+
+This is the release README for the authorized `0.5.0` Public Beta distribution. Its presence in the
+source tree does not establish that PyPI or the canonical documentation domain currently serves the
+release; the install and documentation links below become observed release facts only after exact
+package and provider readbacks.
+
+Tracevity is a deterministic, local tool for evaluating the evidentiary sufficiency of AI-agent
+activity traces. **Inspect** evaluates one selected execution against named reconstruction
+requirements. **Gate** compares an accepted baseline with a release or migration candidate and
+reports requirement-level reconstruction regressions.
+
+Tracevity is not a telemetry collector, hosted trace viewer, generic semantic-convention checker,
+or certification service. Your trace and correlated evidence remain on the machine or CI runner
+where the command executes.
+
+## Install
+
+Use an isolated tool environment when possible:
+
+```bash
+pipx install tracevity==0.5.0
+```
+
+or:
+
+```bash
+uv tool install tracevity==0.5.0
+```
+
+Conventional installation is also supported:
+
+```bash
+python -m pip install tracevity==0.5.0
+```
+
+Tracevity 0.5.0 supports CPython 3.11, 3.12, 3.13, and 3.14. Its operational dependency closure is
+limited to pinned OTLP protobuf definitions and protobuf itself.
+
+`tracevity --version`, the current Inspector engine, and the current Gate engine all identify
+version `0.5.0`. Current reports use additive Reconstruction Report v0.2 and Gate Report v0.2
+contracts. Historical v0.1 reports remain readable; their historical engine identities are not
+rewritten. Exact packaged engine and resource bytes contribute to report build identity, so changes
+remain visible and sealed reports are never treated as interchangeable without an exact
+compatibility check.
+
+## Quickstart
+
+Download, verify, and extract the safe synthetic example bundle from
+[tracevity.com/cli](https://tracevity.com/cli/), then run these commands from the extracted bundle
+directory. No production trace is needed.
+
+```bash
+tracevity --version
+
+tracevity traces list --manifest inspect/manifest.json
+
+tracevity inspect \
+  --manifest inspect/manifest.json \
+  --requirements inspect/requirements.json \
+  --out reconstruction-report.json
+
+tracevity gate \
+  --suite gate/tracevity-gate.json \
+  --out tracevity-gate-report.json
+```
+
+`traces list` returns bounded structural information for explicit target selection. It does not
+print prompts, outputs, tool arguments, tool results, or arbitrary captured attributes.
+
+## Capture and destination evidence
+
+Start the bounded loopback receiver before running an OTLP HTTP/protobuf exporter:
+
+```bash
+tracevity capture otlp \
+  --listen 127.0.0.1:4318 \
+  --out trace.otlp.pb \
+  --receipt capture-receipt.json
+```
+
+The receiver accepts only `/v1/traces` on IPv4 loopback, enforces request, byte, span, and idle-time
+bounds, combines valid batches, and never uploads or prints captured values.
+
+Tracevity ships one deliberately narrow, read-only destination adapter:
+
+```bash
+tracevity evidence github issue-comment \
+  --repo OWNER/REPOSITORY \
+  --comment-id COMMENT_ID \
+  --out github-evidence.json
+```
+
+It reads exactly one existing issue or pull-request comment from `api.github.com`. Public comments
+can be read without authentication. For private repositories or higher rate limits, set
+`TRACEVITY_GITHUB_TOKEN` in the environment; command-line tokens and custom API origins are not
+accepted. The envelope stores a body SHA-256, not the comment body. Provider API retrieval is
+external-system evidence with unverified record authenticity; HTTPS, ETags, and request IDs are not
+cryptographic proof.
+
+Render either report locally as inert HTML and/or Markdown:
+
+```bash
+tracevity report render reconstruction-report.json \
+  --html reconstruction-report.html \
+  --markdown reconstruction-report.md
+```
+
+## Supported trace declarations
+
+The Inspector accepts OTLP trace protobuf for four exact declared representations:
+
+| Declaration                      | Supported version                          | Evidence binding                 |
+| -------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------ | -------------------------------- |
+| OpenTelemetry GenAI              | `67dff024110be5bd9f318006e733f4078e0f4c97` | `binding-otel-genai-to-otlp`     |
+| OpenInference                    | `0.1.33`                                   | `binding-openinference-to-otlp`  |
+| MLflow native tracing            | `3.15.2`                                   | `binding-mlflow-native-to-otlp`  |
+| MLflow GenAI-transformed tracing | `3.15.2`                                   | `binding-mlflow-native-to-genai` |
+
+OTLP logs and metrics are recognized but unsupported as primary trace inputs. A structurally valid
+OTLP payload does not prove producer identity, complete capture, or semantic sufficiency.
+
+## Gate exits
+
+| Exit | Meaning                                                                    |
+| ---: | -------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+|  `0` | No policy-blocking reconstruction regression                               |
+|  `2` | Blocking reconstruction regression                                         |
+|  `3` | Required result became indeterminate, or a sealed baseline is incomparable |
+|  `4` | Invalid suite, policy, baseline, manifest, evidence, or input              |
+|  `5` | Unsupported signal, dialect, version, or representation                    |
+| `70` | Internal invariant or prohibited-network failure                           |
+
+Gate compares reconstruction consequences for named requirements, not raw span counts or field
+sets. Replayable baseline and candidate inputs run through the same current Inspector. An
+incompatible sealed report yields `INCOMPARABLE_REQUIRES_REBASE`; it is never silently accepted.
+
+## Privacy, network, and semantic limits
+
+`inspect`, `gate`, `traces list`, and `report render` make no network requests. `capture otlp` opens
+only the loopback listener the operator requests. The GitHub evidence adapter makes one explicit,
+bounded outbound read to the official GitHub REST API. No command contacts a Tracevity service,
+emits Tracevity analytics, calls a model, uploads a trace, creates an account, performs an update
+check, sends a crash report, or keeps a hidden input cache. Trace contents remain local and are
+never executed.
+
+Keep these boundaries explicit:
+
+```text
+tool success != external settlement
+agent identity != initiating principal
+valid OTLP != sufficient reconstruction
+recorded rationale != hidden reasoning
+Gate pass != certification
+```
+
+Tracevity reports what supplied evidence establishes for a named use case. An exactly correlated
+provider record can corroborate destination state without becoming cryptographically authenticated.
+Tracevity does not reveal true latent motivation, prove omitted evidence never existed, certify an
+arbitrary producer, or turn a tool-reported result into independently verified external state.

+```
+
+It reads exactly one existing issue or pull-request comment from `api.github.com`. Public comments
+can be read without authentication. For private repositories or higher rate limits, set
+`TRACEVITY_GITHUB_TOKEN` in the environment; command-line tokens and custom API origins are not
+accepted. The envelope stores a body SHA-256, not the comment body. Provider API retrieval is
+external-system evidence with unverified record authenticity; HTTPS, ETags, and request IDs are not
+cryptographic proof.
+
+Render either report locally as inert HTML and/or Markdown:
+
+```bash
+tracevity report render reconstruction-report.json \
+  --html reconstruction-report.html \
+  --markdown reconstruction-report.md
+```
+
+## Supported trace declarations
+
+The Inspector accepts OTLP trace protobuf for four exact declared representations:
+
+| Declaration                      | Supported version                          | Evidence binding                 |
+| -------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------ | -------------------------------- |
+| OpenTelemetry GenAI              | `67dff024110be5bd9f318006e733f4078e0f4c97` | `binding-otel-genai-to-otlp`     |
+| OpenInference                    | `0.1.33`                                   | `binding-openinference-to-otlp`  |
+| MLflow native tracing            | `3.15.2`                                   | `binding-mlflow-native-to-otlp`  |
+| MLflow GenAI-transformed tracing | `3.15.2`                                   | `binding-mlflow-native-to-genai` |
+
+OTLP logs and metrics are recognized but unsupported as primary trace inputs. A structurally valid
+OTLP payload does not prove producer identity, complete capture, or semantic sufficiency.
+
+## Gate exits
+
+| Exit | Meaning                                                                    |
+| ---: | -------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+|  `0` | No policy-blocking reconstruction regression                               |
+|  `2` | Blocking reconstruction regression                                         |
+|  `3` | Required result became indeterminate, or a sealed baseline is incomparable |
+|  `4` | Invalid suite, policy, baseline, manifest, evidence, or input              |
+|  `5` | Unsupported signal, dialect, version, or representation                    |
+| `70` | Internal invariant or prohibited-network failure                           |
+
+Gate compares reconstruction consequences for named requirements, not raw span counts or field
+sets. Replayable baseline and candidate inputs run through the same current Inspector. An
+incompatible sealed report yields `INCOMPARABLE_REQUIRES_REBASE`; it is never silently accepted.
+
+## Privacy, network, and semantic limits
+
+`inspect`, `gate`, `traces list`, and `report render` make no network requests. `capture otlp` opens
+only the loopback listener the operator requests. The GitHub evidence adapter makes one explicit,
+bounded outbound read to the official GitHub REST API. No command contacts a Tracevity service,
+emits Tracevity analytics, calls a model, uploads a trace, creates an account, performs an update
+check, sends a crash report, or keeps a hidden input cache. Trace contents remain local and are
+never executed.
+
+Keep these boundaries explicit:
+
+```text
+tool success != external settlement
+agent identity != initiating principal
+valid OTLP != sufficient reconstruction
+recorded rationale != hidden reasoning
+Gate pass != certification
+```
+
+Tracevity reports what supplied evidence establishes for a named use case. An exactly correlated
+provider record can corroborate destination state without becoming cryptographically authenticated.
+Tracevity does not reveal true latent motivation, prove omitted evidence never existed, certify an
+arbitrary producer, or turn a tool-reported result into independently verified external state.
