Double-checks failed run: TayHCode--release-check-claude-haiku-5-5-1792650279692104125.

The scan ended INCOMPLETE (exit code 2) and never reached PASS on this setup. The documented exit code was observed, but that does not show a complete audit ran, and the cause was not recorded.

Recorded blocker / warning

Step: --verify quickstart on Windows

Safety: No problems traced to this repository code in these checks.

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.

windows behavior observation needs an OS-native file/network/process collector; only the static scan ran.

No Linux syscall trace was collected.

Whose fault: unknown · diagnosed

Observed audit-incomplete; summary outcome INCOMPLETE.

Fix: fix-8384fe75b72ae86132ee.

Recorded blocker / warning

Step: The audit cannot report PASS without complete local history, approvals/policy evidence and declared verification.

Observed audit-incomplete; summary outcome INCOMPLETE.

Safety: No problems traced to this repository code in these checks.

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.

Answers recorded for this run
  • Reports identify PASS, FAIL or INCOMPLETE outcomes.: Real input did not produce the expected result: "error":"audit-incomplete"

    Source: Every audit report, including the export report, has an `outcome` (`PASS`, `FAIL` or `INCOMPLETE`) and sorted machine-readable `reasons`.

    Input: audit the local repository with an empty external denylist

    Expected: INCOMPLETE outcome when verification and audit evidence are incomplete

    Command: <guest-path> <guest-path> --denylist <guest-path> --reports <guest-path> --scrub-plan

    Observed: "error":"audit-incomplete"}

Examples

  • Print required files and manifest shape: command completed successfully

    Source: README.md, Quickstart

    Input: --requirements

    Expected: prints release requirements

    Command: <guest-path> --requirements

    Observed: nittest", "discover", "-s", "tests", "-q" ] } ], "dependency_licenses": { "example": { "version": "1.0", "spdx": "MIT", "sha256": "0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000" } } } Passing also requires an external denylist, complete local history and attribution, no unresolved personal/secret/path/hostname/email/media/metadata findings, and --verify in a fresh clone/venv/HOME. Install the project and test tools through declared commands. Export rescans a clean one-commit copy; nothing is published.

Local or hosted: local

Suggested next step (unverified): Provide complete repository history, externally reviewed denylist and private report locations, and reviewed manifest verification commands.

Safety: Review signals: 1 outside write.

Review signals: 1 outside write.

Repository processes attempted these writes outside documented output/cache paths. /usr/bin/python3.12 170 attributed processes.

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.

Examples

  • Quickstart: release-check --help prints usage: command completed successfully

    Source: README.md Quickstart

    Input: --help

    Expected: usage text

    Observed: h, --help show this help message and exit --requirements Print required files, README headings and manifest shape without scanning --denylist DENYLIST --reports REPORTS --manifest MANIFEST --private-repo PRIVATE_REPO Known-private repo URL or owner/name; kept out of reports --verify Execute reviewed manifest quickstart/check argv in a fresh local clone and venv --timeout TIMEOUT --scrub-plan --export EXPORT --validate-receipt RECEIPT_JSON EXPORT_DIR

  • Print required files without a scan: command completed successfully

    Source: README.md Quickstart: release-check --requirements

    Input: --requirements

    Expected: requirements listing

    Command: <guest-path> --requirements

    Observed: nittest", "discover", "-s", "tests", "-q" ] } ], "dependency_licenses": { "example": { "version": "1.0", "spdx": "MIT", "sha256": "0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000" } } } Passing also requires an external denylist, complete local history and attribution, no unresolved personal/secret/path/hostname/email/media/metadata findings, and --verify in a fresh clone/venv/HOME. Install the project and test tools through declared commands. Export rescans a clean one-commit copy; nothing is published.
