The product CLI itself behaved correctly for the same cached CUDA run (exit 0). ruff, mypy and build were not run. The README's check-citations demo (ten citations ok=10 on the demo library) was run manually but is not replayable by the checker, because the checker rewrites its --out to a fresh path that has no library.

No problems traced to this repository code in these checks.

OSV scanned supported lockfiles; unpinned dependencies and unsupported formats are outside this check.

A short run cannot establish that code is safe.

Connections show IP addresses; proxies can hide the final hostname.

Tracing covers dispatched commands and their children, not the whole OS; guest root can interfere with tracing.
