- ✓ Prompt-injection patterns
- ✓ Secret / credential exfiltration
- ✓ Dangerous shell & filesystem operations
- ✓ Untrusted network calls
- ✓ Known-malicious package signatures
What it can access
- ✓ Network access No
- ✓ Filesystem access No
- ✓ Shell / process execution No
- ✓ Environment & secrets No
- ✓ Dynamic code execution No
From automated source analysis of v0.1.0. “Used” means the capability is present in the source — more access means more to trust, not that it’s unsafe.

Declared compatibility
Compatibility is declared by the source manifest. End-to-end runtime verification is coming, see below.
We're building live execution health for every listing: tool-call success rate, median latency, uptime, and last-checked timestamps, measured, not self-reported. It isn't live yet, so we don't show numbers we can't stand behind.

Software Architecture
Reference companion for architecture reviews, system design sessions, and architectural decision-making. Each topic lives in its own reference file.
Reference Files
| File | Contents | |------|----------| | references/fundamentals.md | Architecture definition, architect role, architectural requirements, decisions, constraints, documentation (ADR, Architecture Haiku) | | references/architectural-styles-monolithic.md | Layered, Pipeline, Microkernel — topology, trade-offs, when to use | | references/architectural-styles-distributed.md | Microservices, Event-Driven Architecture (EDA), SOA — topology, principles, trade-offs | | references/architectural-patterns.md | Hexagonal (Ports & Adapters), CQRS, Event Sourcing, MVC | | references/enterprise-patterns.md | Domain logic patterns (Transaction Script, Domain Model), data source patterns (Active Record, Data Mapper), integration patterns (File Transfer, Shared DB, RPC, Messaging) | | references/architecture-review-checklist.md | Structured checklist for architecture reviews and system design sessions |
When to Read Each File
Architecture review / system design: Start with architecture-review-checklist.md, then read the relevant style or pattern file for deeper context.
Choosing an architectural style: Read architectural-styles-monolithic.md or architectural-styles-distributed.md (or both) and compare the trade-off summary table.
Designing a new service or component: Read architectural-patterns.md (hexagonal for internal structure, CQRS/event sourcing for complex domains).
Integration between systems: Read enterprise-patterns.md (integration section) for the four integration approaches.
Documenting architectural decisions: Read fundamentals.md for ADR and Architecture Haiku templates.
