test(native): expect only toolchain-portable Swift manglings to demangle

The macOS 15 runner's swift-demangle predates Embedded Swift, so valid
$e symbols stay unchanged there. Keep $e and _$e in the undecodable
half only.

+
+# REA changelog update
+
+Use this for release-note preparation and contributor attribution. Read
+[docs/releasing.md](../../../docs/releasing.md) from the repository root for
+publication authority and the existing checkpoint checks. This skill prepares
+notes; it does not authorize merging, tagging, or publishing.
+
+## Inventory before prose
+
+Fetch complete history and tags. Select the published baseline tag from
+`.release-please-manifest.json` on the release PR's **base branch**, and pin that
+branch's exact SHA as the editorial target. REA tags are `rea-agents-VERSION`.
+Use the proposed version, including its prerelease suffix; do not change the
+`always-bump-minor` strategy to imitate OpenClaw's calendar versions.
+
+```bash
+node scripts/release-notes.mjs inventory \
+  --repository morluto/rea --base rea-agents-PREVIOUS \
+  --target FULL_BASE_BRANCH_SHA --version VERSION \
+  --manifest /tmp/rea-VERSION.contributions.json
+node scripts/release-notes.mjs record \
+  --manifest /tmp/rea-VERSION.contributions.json \
+  --summary \
+  --output /tmp/rea-VERSION.record.md
+```
+
+Read the inventory, not just the existing bot draft. It includes side-branch
+commits, GitHub-associated PRs whose merge commits are in the range, commit
+authors/co-authors, and confirmed closing issues with their reporters. GitHub
+connections are paginated. Network errors stop generation; rerun into a new
+output file after recovery. Existing output files are never overwritten.
+
+Unresolved commit identities are retained as names/emails with `user: null`;
+never guess a handle or thank the merger as a substitute. The report preserves
+unknowns. This is a reviewed metadata snapshot, not independent proof that a
+human authored a patch. For unattributed identities, unusual merge strategies,
+backports, reversions, or references that GitHub did not associate, inspect
+the source PRs and diffs and report the limitation. The current collector uses
+confirmed PR-closing relationships for issue-reporter credit; unrelated issue
+mentions are not automatically credited. Do not claim that merely inventoried
+work still ships after a revert.
+
+## Write for users and retain credit
+
+Rewrite only the newest `## [VERSION]` section in `CHANGELOG.md`, preserving its
+version/date/link heading. Use single-line Markdown list items under:
+
+- `### Highlights`: a few release-defining user outcomes; no quota for small releases.
+- `### Changes`: capabilities and meaningful behavior changes.
+- `### Fixes`: reliability, correctness, compatibility, and safety fixes.
+- `### ⚠ BREAKING CHANGES`: retain when applicable, with migrations and original
+  PR/commit references required by the existing checkpoint validator.
+
+Group related work by analyst workflow or user impact. Explain the resulting
+behavior in short, concrete entries. Highlights summarize the release; avoid
+repeating their full descriptions in Changes. Internal cleanup, tests, CI, and
+routine documentation generally belong only in the provenance file. Read ambiguous PRs/diffs before making
+claims. Distinguish simulated-provider checks from real-provider verification.
+
+Credit each represented contribution once in the public notes with its link
+and `Thanks @...` for its verified human author, known co-authors, and confirmed
+closing-issue reporters. Grouping preserves all those credits in one line.
+When Highlights, detailed entries or migrations reference the same work,
+put its thanks in one of those entries, not all of them. Include issue links.
+Direct-commit bullets carry the commit link and known human credit.
+Exclude GitHub bots and known agent accounts. REA's observed Anthropic and
+Cursor co-author trailers resolve to `@claude` and `@cursoragent` with GitHub
+type `User`; the credit policy excludes them while retaining their metadata.
+At the REA maintainer's request, omit `@morluto` self-thanks while preserving
+authorship in the inventory. Other human contributors remain eligible.
+Use explicit GitHub links for cross-repository references to avoid ambiguous
+`#NNN` numbers. Unknown handles stay unknown; they are not fabricated credit.
+
+Append the generated `record --summary` provenance link verbatim at the end
+of this release. The linked inventory accounts for every discovered in-range
+PR and direct contribution, including internal work omitted from the prose.
+Do not paste the full `record` output into public notes: it duplicates thanks
+and obscures the user-facing changes. Full records remain available for review.
+Do not hand-edit generated credits to make validation pass. Refresh the inventory
+when product history changes; a prose-only correction can reuse the snapshot.
+
+## Finalize with Release Please
+
+Before changing the live release PR, have authorization for that PR update.
+Local preparation and validation can proceed independently.
+
+1. Add `rea:release-notes-finalized` to the selected open release PR **before**
+   editing its branch/body. Main proposal pushes respect this label. This is
+   our workflow guard, not Release Please's `autorelease: snooze` mechanism.
+   A proposal already running must finish before editing. Do not dispatch
+   manual preparation over finalized notes.
+2. On that release branch, save the reviewed inventory as
+   `docs/releases/VERSION.contributions.json`. This is durable public release
+   provenance, not a temporary planning file. Do not add credentials or local
+   environment dumps. Keep the existing version artifacts aligned.
+3. Run the existing checkpoint validator and the new checker:
+
+   ```bash
+   node scripts/release-notes.mjs check \
+     --manifest docs/releases/VERSION.contributions.json
+   node scripts/release-notes.mjs render \
+     --manifest docs/releases/VERSION.contributions.json \
+     --output /tmp/rea-VERSION.notes.md
+   ```
+
+   The checker supports inline PR bodies, including their surrounding metadata,
+   up to GitHub's 65,536-character limit. It fails on larger notes rather than
+   truncating credit; Release Please's overflow-link bodies are not integrated.
+
+4. Update the release PR body with the rendered section while preserving its
+   Release Please header/footer and component/version structure. Use a body
+   file for `gh pr edit --body-file`; changing only `CHANGELOG.md` does not
+   change Release Please's release body. Push only authorized changes.
+5. Freshly fetch the PR body to a file and run `check --pr-body FILE`. Review
+   the complete diff and wait for current CI. Publication checks the body
+   again before release creation. Avoid further body edits while publishing.
+
+The finalization label freezes bot refreshes, not main. New product changes
+after the inventory target require refreshing the notes before publication.
+The workflow checks target ancestry and allows only release metadata paths
+after that target. It also requires the inventory target to equal the reviewed
+merge's first parent, so intervening main commits require a fresh inventory.
+Review diffs within the allowed release metadata paths too: the path guard does
+not prove that package dependency/script edits are version-only changes.
+To resume automatic proposals, remove the finalization label and let the bot
+regenerate; expect editorial changes to be replaced.
+
+Existing releases without a contribution inventory retain their current
+publication path. Never retag or republish a package to correct release prose.

+description: Audit REA CI and test suites for correctness, fixture drift, false passes, and measured performance; use for suite or workflow investigations and efficiency changes, rather than ordinary feature testing or a single test failure.
+---
+
+# REA CI and tests audit
+
+Establish which checks still catch real regressions and which costs can be
+removed without losing that protection. The outcome may be a verified fix,
+an evidence-backed recommendation, or an explicit decision to stop.
+
+Follow the checkout's `AGENTS.md`, [testing guide](../../../docs/testing.md),
+and [contribution rules](../../../CONTRIBUTING.md). Use their current commands
+and pinned toolchain, rather than commands remembered from an earlier audit.
+Preserve the requested scope: investigation alone does not authorize edits;
+this skill does not grant permission to publish issues, push, or merge. Existing
+user authorization still applies. Keep audit notes and raw results outside the
+tracked tree, normally in a task-specific `/tmp` directory.
+
+## Establish the executed baseline
+
+Fetch when the user asks for latest main. Pin the baseline SHA and inspected
+workflow revision; use an isolated worktree when changing or comparing code.
+Do not modify another task's checkout. Record dirty changes and the exact
+command, toolchain, host, selected tests, instrumentation, and prerequisites.
+An old run is evidence for its executed revision, even if main advances.
+
+Trace workflow triggers, changed-path selection, job dependencies, reusable
+actions, package scripts, test discovery, artifact producers, and report gates
+through to the commands that actually execute. Include scripts, generated data,
+runtime registration, and subprocess boundaries missing from import graphs.
+Check positive and negative selection paths: required files must be discovered
+once per intended test configuration; deliberate platform/configuration repeats
+are separate coverage. A missing explicit test or missing required report must
+not turn green. Optional lanes may skip; preserve their stated prerequisites.
+
+Use existing timing and failure artifacts to select suspicious families. Run
+relevant checks to establish a baseline; reserve a full local suite for broad
+CI diagnosis or uncertainty that focused checks cannot resolve. Do not rebuild
+or rerun an unchanged complete suite after every documentation edit.
+
+## Prove the failure or protection
+
+For each candidate, state the expected observable behavior and its owner,
+then construct the smallest reproduction against production behavior. Follow
+the producer and affected consumers before deciding where to fix it.
+
+- For drift, compare fixtures with current admission requirements, protocol
+  replies, named contracts, tool versions, and actual public entrypoints. A
+  plausible-looking mock can fail before the behavior its test claims to cover.
+  Search the whole affected fixture family, including other version strings.
+  Preserve intentionally malformed fixtures and test their intended rejection.
+- For a suspicious green test, perturb the relevant behavior in an isolated
+  copy or inject a controlled failure. Verify that the existing assertion or
+  gate detects it. A test may merely repeat its mock, import abandoned code,
+  or hide a subprocess/checker failure. Restore mutations after the experiment.
+- For shared setup or pruning, map distinct assertions to their retained
+  scenarios. Preserve malformed inputs, cancellation, cleanup failure,
+  permissions, capacity, identity, and meaningful concurrency interactions.
+  A faster run that skips a case or weakens its oracle is not an improvement.
+- For provider coverage, separate fake-producer, boundary, and actual-engine
+  evidence. Inspect named skips and prerequisites; fixtures do not establish
+  real Ghidra, LLDB, browser, or other provider behavior.
+
+Classify findings as reproduced defects, supported costs, hypotheses, or
+unavailable evidence. Record the baseline command, observed output/exit status,
+expected result, affected scope, and competing explanation. A failure on main
+may be pre-existing; that does not by itself make it irrelevant to a CI audit.
+Attribute PR failures using the executed revision and a clean baseline, not
+just their resemblance to a previous failure. Retry only to test a specific
+transient explanation; retain the original failure and stop when repetition
+adds no evidence. A passing retry does not establish a root cause or a fix.
+
+## Assess efficiency without losing the gate
+
+Read [measurement and CI checks](references/measurement-and-ci.md) when
+investigating slowness, caching, runner waits, shared artifacts, or log noise.
+Compare equivalent completed work before claiming a speedup. Distinguish
+setup/build time, test execution, coverage instrumentation, dependency waits,
+and runner scheduling; state which costs remain unmeasured.
+
+Prefer removing proven duplicate preparation, reusing immutable setup, and
+reducing repeated subprocess work before shrinking correctness coverage.
+Preserve independent sessions where lifecycle or concurrency is the oracle.
+Keep live tests fresh; a cached previous pass cannot validate current host,
+installed provider contents, permissions, or external state.
+
+## Fix, verify, and hand off within scope
+
+If implementation is authorized, make the smallest structural change at the
+owning boundary and add a regression that fails on the baseline for the right
+reason. Retest affected consumers and meaningful negative paths; verify cache
+invalidation or discovery when those mechanisms change. Read the installed
+Turbo documentation before changing its configuration or commands.
+
+Run the repository's applicable checks and inspect complete current-head CI
+results before an authorized merge. Preserve required coverage and discovery
+gates. Do not suppress a failure, add blanket retries, raise timeouts, or delete
+distinct assertions solely to make CI green. Changes to these controls need
+their own demonstrated reason and retained failure detection.
+
+Report each confirmed issue with exact revision, reproduction, consequence,
+proposed correction, and validation limits. Report performance with workload
+and measurements, not just a percentage. Use English issue/PR records when
+requested; follow the user's assignment, commit identity, review, and merge
+preferences without assuming them for other users. Open ready-for-review PRs
+only when that lifecycle is authorized. Resolve necessary review findings and
+check final main against the tested tree after merging.
+
+Stop when the authorized work is verified, remaining benefits are unproven,
+or further changes would trade correctness for speculative speed. List genuine
+uncertainties without turning them into additional optimization rounds.

+# Measurement and CI checks
+
+## Equivalent completed work
+
+Record the source/workflow SHA, command, test identities and counts, skips,
+assertions or output contract, exit status, coverage scope and thresholds,
+toolchain/provider versions, host resources, and prepared artifacts. Inspect
+both the child result and its report: a profiling wrapper may exit successfully
+after the measured command failed. Focused tests can pass while global coverage
+thresholds fail; describe both rather than calling the command green.
+
+Measure wall time, user/system CPU, and peak process-family memory for relevant
+completed tasks. Parent-only RSS misses workers and their children. On Linux,
+summed RSS can double-count shared pages; report RSS/PSS semantics, sampling
+interval, missing samples, and observed cleanup limits. Use equivalent host
+tools elsewhere. State unknown costs, including agent tokens; fewer log bytes
+alone prove neither fewer tokens nor faster tests.
+
+Separate cold execution, warm build/file caches, and warm runtime caches.
+Use repeated or alternating runs when variance affects the decision, with
+enough observations to distinguish the proposed benefit from noise. Keep
+workload, instrumentation, and host conditions comparable; record interference.
+A run with fewer tests, early rejection, lost coverage, or a different runner
+does not prove suite acceleration. CI-wide claims need end-to-end measurements,
+not an extrapolation from one improved family.
+
+## Workflow, caches, and shared artifacts
+
+Trace each reused result from producer to consumers and identify its lifetime.
+Check key/input coverage against the actual file inventory and result-affecting
+configuration, environment, generated data, tool versions, and host state.
+Exercise an affected input change to prove invalidation; exercise an irrelevant
+change to support reuse where useful. Cache deterministic preparation and
+static analysis only when their inputs fully describe the result.
+
+Verify downloaded artifacts match the expected revision, platform, runtime,
+and schema. Check restore misses, failed/partial producers, stale reports,
+removed output files, and consumers after producer failures. Shared writers
+need output ownership or locks; tests need isolated state, not an unnecessary
+global lock. Worker counts do not bound children spawned within each test.
+Preserve intentionally concurrent scenarios while bounding unrelated batches.
+
+Check matrix expansion and all job pages before saying CI passed. Inspect
+required gates after failed, cancelled, and skipped dependencies. `always()`
+alone does not preserve failures; inspect the aggregation logic. Test/report
+uploads should retain available diagnostics after failure, while absent or
+malformed required results must fail closed. Do not demand an optional report
+from a lane intentionally excluded by the selector.
+
+## Runner waits and console noise
+
+Use per-job and per-step timestamps where available. Workflow creation to job
+start includes dependencies and other delays; it is not necessarily runner
+queue time. Identify when the job became eligible before attributing waits to
+runner capacity. If eligibility/queue timestamps are unavailable, report the
+combined delay and unknown split. Compare equivalent lanes and runner types
+across enough runs; a single busy runner is not a workflow regression.
+
+For console reductions, retain checker exit codes, actionable errors, useful
+summary counts, and complete machine-readable artifacts. Verify authored code
+remains in the actual checker inventory when excluding generated outputs.
+Introduce an authored error as a control; it must still fail. An ignore pattern
+can hide real source as well as noise. Show that cached reports are restored,
+stale successful reports cannot mask current failures, and report parse errors
+remain failures. Measure readability or byte reduction separately from runtime.

+
+Use REA when a claim depends on a shipped binary or package, decompilation,
+passive application runtime evidence, or comparison with
+behavior not established by available source. For ordinary analysis of a
+complete source repository, use normal repository tools and do not run REA
+readiness or provider commands.
+
+## Connect only when needed
+
+Installing this skill supplies instructions; it does not register the REA MCP
+server, install analysis engines, or add tools to an already-running agent.
+
+If REA tools are available and their registration is not known to be stale,
+proceed directly to the target. Do not run diagnostics or setup before every
+investigation. Use the connected server's actual tool list and input schemas;
+a skill installed from repository main may describe capabilities absent from
+an older npm release. Keep complete inline Evidence when that server does not
+advertise retained references.
+
+If tools are absent, a call is blocked by the client, or a required provider is
+unavailable, read [connection and recovery](references/connection-and-recovery.md).
+Diagnose the observed blocker, continue useful supported work, and resume the
+original task after repair. Client approval, shell PATH, registration and engine
+availability have different remedies; avoid repeating setup for all of them.
+
+1. Diagnose without changing REA or client configuration. `npx` may download
+   the package and write to npm's cache. For Codex, run
+   `npx -y rea-agents@latest doctor --client codex --json`. Substitute the current
+   supported client: `claude_code`, `claude_desktop`, `codex`, `cursor`,
+   `gemini_cli`, `windsurf`, `devin`, `opencode`, `antigravity`, `copilot_cli`,
+   `commandcode`, `vscode`, `grok_build`, `omp`, or `grok_bot`. `grok_bot` has no local
+   file registration: doctor reports the Grok Bot chat step, and setup does not
+   write `mcp.json`. If the client is unknown, use `doctor --json` and
+   inspect its registration results before choosing a setup scope.
+2. Distinguish the reason. Missing, malformed, or stale registration needs a
+   scoped configuration repair. An aligned registration with no tools in the
+   active session needs a restart/reconnection; doctor cannot prove that the
+   current agent has connected. A missing provider affects only tasks requiring
+   that provider: static JavaScript inspection needs neither Hopper nor Ghidra,
+   and Android inspection has separate bring-your-own JADX/Java prerequisites.
+3. For a configuration repair, prepare the read-only plan:
+   `npx -y rea-agents@latest setup --client codex --dry-run --json`.
+   Use the current client's ID, show its exact proposed paths, backups, and
+   changes, and obtain approval before setup writes configuration or installs
+   Hopper. Setup normally installs the matching bundled skill too; include that
+   replacement in the reviewed plan. After approval, apply the same scope with
+   `npx -y rea-agents@latest setup --client codex --yes`. Add `--install-hopper`
+   only if that separate installation was needed and explicitly approved.
+4. Restart/reconnect the affected agent. Verify that REA tools actually appear
+   in the session, then resume the original investigation. If they remain
+   absent, inspect the client's MCP launch error rather than repeating setup.
+
+REA setup never installs or upgrades Node.js, npm, Homebrew, Java, Ghidra, IDA,
+JADX, Binwalk, or Unblob. Use existing prerequisites; do not install unrelated
+software to repair
+MCP registration. For an unsupported client, use manual stdio registration
+with a version-pinned `rea-agents` package or continue through the CLI.
+
+A concrete CLI fallback for an operator-supplied JavaScript tree or ASAR is:
+
+```bash
+npx -y rea-agents@latest analyze-javascript-application /absolute/path/to/app --json
+```
+
+No MCP registration or native engine is required. Read the returned Evidence,
+graph, limitations, and unknowns with the same care as an MCP result; the CLI
+returns the Evidence record directly. This fallback does not establish that
+MCP is configured. Native CLI tasks still require their selected engine.
+Prefer an existing `rea` CLI. When none is installed and REA package acquisition
+is within the authorized scope, use `npx -y rea-agents@latest` in its place.
+Configuration repair starts with a read-only setup plan; show paths, backups and
+skill replacement before applying authorized changes. Preserve existing approval
+and target-execution boundaries. REA setup never installs or upgrades unrelated
+software, including Node.js, npm, Homebrew, Java, Ghidra, IDA, JADX, Binwalk or Unblob.
+
+## Route the target first
+
+Choose the first tool from the target the user supplied. Use `open_binary` for
+active-target native or archive workflows; target-free tools take their own
+explicit path or endpoint and do not need it.
+
+- ASAR or extracted JavaScript/Electron tree:
+  `analyze_javascript_application`.
+- Archive/package member inventory (ZIP/APK/IPA/MSIX/AppX or DMG):
+  `open_binary` with the supplied local path; use `inspect_artifact` when its
+  graph and findings help answer the question.
+- Android APK code, classes, methods, or incoming references:
+  `inspect_android_package`, then focused Android tools when advertised.
+  Archive member inventory still uses the archive route above.
+- Managed PE/CLI assembly: `inspect_managed_artifact`.
+- Firmware image: `inspect_firmware_regions` when advertised. Use
+  `extract_firmware` when extraction is requested, with a caller-selected new
+  absolute output directory. These tools use caller-supplied Binwalk/Unblob on
+  Linux; see the [firmware guide](https://github.com/morluto/rea/blob/main/docs/firmware-analysis.md).
+- .NET NativeAOT PE/ELF: native Ghidra analysis. Native code can yield pseudocode;
+  consult the NativeAOT workflow in `references/native-and-artifacts.md` for
+  optional metadata recovery and its supported host/layout boundary.
+- User-owned browser page already open: `list_browser_targets`.
+- Browser action the agent must perform (click, type, navigate):
+  `capture_browser_scenario` with declared actions. See
+  [runtime observation](references/runtime-observation.md) for connect/launch
+  and the focused follow-up browser tools.
+- Fiddler Everywhere traffic or a native `.saz` capture: read the
+  [Fiddler workflow](references/runtime-observation.md#fiddler-everywhere-traffic-debugging).
+  Inspect saved SAZ with `inspect_web_network_capture` and `format: "saz"`;
+  connect Everywhere's separate MCP server for live traffic.
+- Retained HAR/SAZ/native mitmproxy/aioquic qlog capture: `inspect_web_network_capture`. Select
+  original record ordinals when useful; inspect producer fields and byte/number
+  sidecars without fetching recorded URLs or claiming live attribution. See
+  [historical captures](https://github.com/morluto/rea/blob/main/docs/web-network-captures.md) for the exact upstream
+  profile and credential exclusions. Qlog support starts with aioquic 1.5.0
+  JSON 0.3; stream coverage and endpoint loss declarations do not recover bodies
+  or establish network loss. Prefer detail summary, then kind qlog trace/stream
+  pages; select one trace, stream ID and direction for contribution/range pages.
+  Facts retain all-recorded-events-before-selection scope. Other qlog layouts
+  and PCAP correlation are unsupported.
+- User-owned Electron runtime already open: `list_electron_targets`. Before an electron-main Inspector attempt, check packaged fuses with `inspect_electron_fuses`; disabled `EnableNodeCliInspectArguments` means the app ignores `--inspect`.
+- Packet-field discovery: `inspect_packet_fields` searches installed protocols
+  and field names/types before choosing fields for `inspect_packet_capture`.
+  Query/page the relevant records; registrations do not establish observed traffic.
+- Recorded packet captures: `inspect_packet_capture` with selected TShark fields,
+  display filters and decode-as rules. Requires Linux, util-linux prlimit and `REA_TSHARK_COMMAND`; see
+  [capture guide](https://github.com/morluto/rea/blob/main/docs/packet-captures.md).
+  Packet limits count input packets before filtering. Output defaults to 50 matching
+  frames; use `match_offset` / `match_limit` for later pages, or explicit null
+  limit for complete matching output. Preserve the source digest across pages.
+  This does not perform live capture.
+  For address/DNS/SNI/protocol summaries use `inspect_pcap_capture` with MCP
+  detail summary, then retained kind pcap pages. Requires Wireshark 4.x tshark
+  and capinfos, with Linux prlimit or Windows Job Objects; see
+  [packet summaries](https://github.com/morluto/rea/blob/main/docs/pcap-analysis.md).
+  Select an exact DNS question for address pages; page exhaustion does not prove
+  network completeness. This reads recordings and does not acquire traffic.
+- Decoder discovery: `inspect_signal_decoders` searches installed decoder IDs
+  or selected decoder help, including channels and options. Query and page the
+  relevant details before choosing settings; this does not scan hardware.
+- Recorded logic/signal traces: `decode_signal_recording` with explicit decoder,
+  channel and protocol settings. On Linux with util-linux prlimit, supply sigrok-cli 0.7.2 through
+  `REA_SIGROK_COMMAND`; see [recording guide](https://github.com/morluto/rea/blob/main/docs/signal-recordings.md).
+  Output defaults to 50 literal lines; select annotation classes and page with
+  `line_offset` / `line_limit`, or explicit null for all remaining output.
+  Window counts are display lines, not annotations or samples. Preserve source digests across pages.
+  This reads existing files; it does not acquire hardware signals.
+- Explicit local WebAssembly artifact: `inspect_wasm_artifact`. Supply WABT 1.0.42
+  through `REA_WABT_BIN_DIRECTORY`; retain exact byte/tool identity and decoded WAT.
+  Select JavaScript glue and candidate paths explicitly and preserve URL/path
+  ambiguity. No implicit fetch or target execution; WAT is not original source.
+  See the [WASM guide](https://github.com/morluto/rea/blob/main/docs/wasm-artifacts.md).
+- Explicit local EVM bytecode carrier: `inspect_evm_interface` with caller-selected
+  `raw` or `hex` encoding. Preserve carrier/decoded digests and treat selectors,
+  argument strings and mutability as inferred candidates; this performs no chain
+  lookup or target execution. For the complete inferred interface without hex or
+  duplicate stdout, discover support and select `detail: "summary"`; complete
+  Evidence stays retained under its original identity. Use the returned
+  `parent_evidence_id` for exact function or `bytecode_hex`/stdout/stderr pages.
+  Candidate coverage does not establish interface completeness. See the
+  [EVM bytecode guide](https://github.com/morluto/rea/blob/main/docs/evm-bytecode.md).
+- Embedded Go compiler, module or build-setting metadata: `inspect_go_binary`
+  with the explicit local file. This built-in target-free inspection requires no
+  Go installation or disassembler. Preserve raw module bytes and source ranges;
+  absent metadata does not prove a binary is not Go, and unparsed text records
+  remain explicit. See the
+  [Go binary guide](https://github.com/morluto/rea/blob/main/docs/go-binaries.md).
+- Embedded cargo-auditable Rust dependency metadata: `inspect_rust_binary`
+  with the explicit local ELF, PE, or thin Mach-O file. This built-in

+- Explicit local SQLite database snapshot: `inspect_sqlite_database`. Inspect

+  first (compact inventory by default), or select an exact ordinary table
+  and `columns` when rows are needed. Defaults are selected-table schema and
+  20 rows; request `schema_scope: "database"` for the complete stored schema. Preserve both database and existing sibling WAL identity; row samples
+  report truncation and have unspecified order. Use a quiescent snapshot rather
+  than assuming a live database/WAL pair was copied atomically. See the
+  [SQLite guide](https://github.com/morluto/rea/blob/main/docs/sqlite-databases.md).
+- Explicit Linux ELF file for offline layout, symbols, relocations or static
+  mitigation evidence: `inspect_binary_layout`. This target-free operation uses
+  caller-supplied pwntools without opening a disassembler database. Preserve its
+  raw locations and inference/coverage limits; see the
+  [offline binary guide](https://github.com/morluto/rea/blob/main/docs/binary-diagnostics.md).
+- Supplied Linux x86-64 ELF core: `inspect_recorded_crash`. Read every recorded
+  thread, raw note and source-bound register without opening a live target.
+  Historical PIDs do not select live processes. Request `include_debugger_context`
+  only when core-only mapping candidates help; see the
+  [recorded crash guide](https://github.com/morluto/rea/blob/main/docs/recorded-crashes.md).
+- PE resource type/name/language trees and static icon group references:
+  `inspect_pe_resources` with an explicit path. This portable operation requires
+  no active target or engine; opaque payloads retain file ranges and SHA-256.
+- Native executable, library, or analysis database: `open_binary`, then
+  use focused analysis tools directly; call `binary_overview` when metadata or
+  inventory context is useful and available from the selected provider.
+
+For an existing IDA MCP configuration, use `open_binary` with the original
+input binary and `provider_id: "ida"`; do not pass an `.idb` or `.i64` database.
+The legacy attached profile binds the already-open GUI input by SHA-256 and
+leaves its database open. The modern headless profile creates and closes an
+owned private database without saving. Installation and registration reuse
+[mrexodia/ida-pro-mcp](https://github.com/mrexodia/ida-pro-mcp); see the
+[IDA provider guide](https://github.com/morluto/rea/blob/main/docs/ida-provider.md).
+Proceed directly to `analyze_function`, pseudocode, or function/string searches
+after opening; IDA does not supply `binary_overview`. Consult session availability
+when composing broader workflows. Modern direct callers and unsupported dossier
+facets remain unknown; live IDA results are not replayed from snapshots.
+
+If the user says only "my app" without a name, path, or target already selected
+for this task, ask which app before searching for artifacts. Paths in unrelated
+saved reports and nearby test fixtures do not select the user's target. Resolve
+an actual human-readable app name to one clear installed artifact when possible;
+ask when matches are ambiguous. Never choose an example app on the user's behalf.
+
+In a target-free session, use `open_binary` to bind any archive/package or
+native target whose analysis tool operates on the active target. Do not call an
+unadvertised tool; inspect `binary_session` with `{}` and its
+`result.tool_availability` for availability reasons and remediation. Expand each
+group's `names` into entries, inheriting the inventory-level client requirements
+unless the group overrides them. In its closed effect and annotation vocabularies,
+listed flags are true and omitted known flags are false. The grouped name union
+is the complete tool inventory; use `tools/list` for canonical tool schemas.
+Provider candidate facts describe possible providers, while top-level session
+capabilities describe the current route and `analysis_provider_binding` names the
+selected provider. Do not treat those scopes as interchangeable.
+
+## Work summary-first
+
+Start with the default result and use its inline Evidence and graph context.
+For a JavaScript application or ELF layout whose size is unknown or large,
+call `analyze_javascript_application` or `inspect_binary_layout` with
+`"detail": "summary"`, then inspect the retained `parent_evidence_id` with
+`inspect_analysis_view`.
+Page module identities and select the returned `node_id` before requesting an
+item; a single file path can represent several graph roles. Do not repeat an
+identical analysis or rejected call without a changed input or resolved blocker.
+Recheck session state when a lifecycle change makes that status useful.
+Make a focused follow-up only when the
+returned result leaves a specific question unanswered.
+
+If MCP reports `resource_constraint` with `details.resource: "transport"`, call
+`inspect_analysis_view` with its reported same-session Evidence reference for a
+summary, one section/module, or a stable page. Use `trace_application_feature`
+once a seed is known, or call `export_evidence_bundle` to write the complete
+session to a selected path. The analysis remains complete in the ledger; avoid
+repeating it merely to request the same oversized response. Complete CLI JSON
+output also streams without a single MCP frame.
+
+When the retained parent ID is unknown, use `get_evidence_bundle` with
+`detail: "summary"` and exact filters for operation, target SHA-256,
+analysis-profile digest or canonical procedure address. Select its returned
+Evidence ID for the next view instead of requesting the complete bundle.
+`retention: "complete-record"` means the whole record is stored; native
+value-flow truncation and unknown metadata remain separate. For an exported
+portable bundle, use `rea inspect-evidence-bundle` with JSON containing `path`,
+`detail: "summary"` and the same `filters`. Reading that file still requires
+validating its full contents within the local memory budget.
+
+A client can also truncate a successful tool result without a REA transport
+error. Treat that preview as incomplete; use the retained parent ID for smaller
+views or export when the full record is needed. Do not parse the preview as
+canonical JSON or repeat the producer. For JavaScript, read the
+[module-view and trace recipes](references/javascript-applications.md) before
+drilling into a large graph; a broad bidirectional trace can expand unrelated
+containment relationships even after summary analysis.
+
+Every conclusion must distinguish observations, inferences, and unknowns. Cite
+Evidence IDs, preserve limitations and incomplete coverage, and never imply
+that static analysis observed execution. Runtime requests execute the declared
+target and lifecycle; do not broaden the target or action beyond those fields.
+
+Within the user's requested investigation, call available analysis tools
+directly. REA does not require permission grants or per-call approval flags.
+The agent client can independently require approval. Follow the declared request
+scope and the host's actual access requirements; use the recovery guide for an
+observed client-policy rejection.
+
+## Plan broader investigations
+
+For requests that span multiple features or subsystems, use a staged workflow:
+
+1. Turn the request into a checklist of questions and the evidence each answer
+   needs. Resolve target identity and constraints from the conversation and
+   workspace before asking for information again.
+2. Inspect the current REA session, artifact identity, saved analysis database,
+   bookmarks, and prior evidence. Reuse matching state; do not open duplicate
+   sessions or repeat identical analysis.
+3. Start with the smallest useful overview or inventory. Follow each question
+   from its entry point through relevant data and state changes to its result.
+   Batch related operations around a specific hypothesis, then expand only when
+   the returned evidence leaves a concrete gap.
+4. Inspect relevant packaged resources and configuration alongside code when
+   they affect the question. Use format-aware inventory and parsers; do not
+   infer behavior from filenames, strings, or layout alone.
+5. Corroborate a conclusion with the evidence type it requires. Use runtime
+   observation only when static evidence cannot answer the question and the
+   required host runtime and OS access are available. For JavaScript behavior,
+   run probes against the actual app through the available browser, Electron,
+   or process capture workflow.
+6. Decompose work into independent questions. When parallel workers are
+   available and the questions do not depend on one another, assign distinct
+   scopes, point workers to existing evidence, and ask them to return sources,
+   conclusions, and unresolved gaps. Otherwise, work sequentially.
+7. Keep a concise finding ledger linking each conclusion to Evidence IDs,
+   confidence/evidence type, search boundary, and remaining unknowns. Update
+   the shared index or investigation report so later passes can reuse results.
+
+Before finishing, revisit the original checklist. Mark each question as
+answered, partially answered, or unresolved based on its evidence; keep
+bounded negative searches bounded, and do not describe a broad investigation
+as complete while required questions remain open.

+Use the connected server's advertised Android tools. Repository main and npm
+4.1.0 include this family. A skill installation alone cannot add it to an
+older server.
+
+Start with `inspect_android_package` on the caller's APK path for package
+identity, manifest declarations, coverage, and inline Evidence. Use
+`search_android_classes` to find candidates, `inspect_android_class` for one
+class's members, `inspect_android_method` for decompilation, and

+own APK path and explicit selectors; do not open a native session first.
+Choose an `overload_index` from the class inventory when methods are ambiguous
+instead of guessing.
+
+The provider requires a separately supplied headless JADX MCP JAR 0.7.1 and
+Java 17 or newer. `REA_JADX_MCP_JAR` selects the absolute JAR path; `JAVA_HOME`
+can select Java. REA setup does not install or configure that JAR, and doctor
+provider scopes cover Hopper/Ghidra rather than JADX. Use existing tools and
+report missing prerequisites for the Android task specifically.
+
+Linux and macOS use the POSIX owned-process boundary. Windows x64 requires the
+matching bundled native controls and uses an owned Job Object with bidirectional
+stdio. A full JDK, including `jdk.compiler`, is required on every host; Windows
+`JAVA_HOME` selects `bin\java.exe`. Consult the Android guide for actual host
+verification coverage. Calls use one worker and provider deadlines; optional
+`REA_JADX_HEAP_MIB` selects the JVM heap. The APK is never launched,
+and no emulator is required.
+
+Manifest entries and decompiled text are static observations, not execution or
+policy enforcement. Incoming references are recovered static relationships;
+reflection, dynamic loading, and unresolved calls remain unknown. Preserve
+artifact digests, locations, diagnostics, and incomplete coverage. For archive
+members rather than code analysis, use `open_binary` and `inspect_artifact`.

+If the client cannot launch its shell/sandbox helper or read the installed skill,
+inspect its launch diagnostic. For example, Codex can refuse helper aliases when
+CODEX_HOME is under `/tmp`; use an authorized profile outside the OS temporary
+directory. REA setup cannot repair the client's executor. Preserve the sandbox
+instead of silently disabling it to make an analysis command work.
+
+Static JavaScript and ordinary ZIP inventory need neither Hopper nor Ghidra.
+HAR inspection is offline and does not require a live browser. Native
+decompilation, Android analysis and firmware extraction have their own
+bring-your-own prerequisites. Use supported inventory/static evidence when it
+answers part of the question, and name the unavailable evidence separately.
+Do not substitute another target. Label observations from ordinary shell tools
+as such; only actual REA output supplies REA Evidence.
+
+## Repair registration when needed
+
+For Codex:
+
+```bash
+rea doctor --client codex --json
+rea setup --client codex --dry-run --json
+```
+
+Use the current supported client's ID: `claude_code`, `claude_desktop`, `codex`,
+`cursor`, `gemini_cli`, `windsurf`, `devin`, `opencode`, `antigravity`,
+`copilot_cli`, `commandcode`, `qwen_code`, `vscode`, `trae`, `grok_build`, `omp`, `pi`,
+`hermes`, `qoder`, `droid`, `zcode`, `dsh`, or `grok_bot`. If unknown, inspect `doctor --json` before choosing a
+scope. `grok_bot` uses a chat registration step rather than local `mcp.json`.
+For unsupported clients, use version-pinned manual stdio registration or CLI.
+
+Show the plan's exact paths, backups, changes and bundled-skill replacement.
+Obtain approval for writes when that concrete scope is not already authorized,
+then apply the same scope with `rea setup --client codex --yes`. Add
+`--install-hopper` only when separately needed and explicitly approved. Do not
+install or upgrade unrelated prerequisites. Restart/reconnect, verify tools
+actually appear, and resume the original task. If they remain absent, inspect
+the launch failure rather than looping through setup.
+
+## Codex tool approval is separate from REA readiness
+
+REA tools have no permission-grant handshake. Codex can still require approval
+because an operation creates owned resources, launches a helper or has cleanup
+effects. An advertised tool or successful doctor result does not override that
+client policy. `workspace-write` alone does not resolve an MCP approval
+rejection, and `approval_policy = "never"` does not mean every MCP tool is
+preapproved.
+
+When interactive approval is available, use the client's approval flow for the
+requested operation. In an unattended run, continue through an authorized CLI
+workflow if the execution environment permits it, or report the blocked
+operation and the approval needed to proceed. Do not retry the same rejected
+call, silently broaden approvals, or rewrite MCP effects as read-only.
+
+For an operator who explicitly wants to preapprove named operations in a
+disposable Codex profile, current Codex supports per-tool configuration. For
+example, opening and closing an analysis session can be scoped independently:
+
+```toml
+[mcp_servers.rea.tools.open_binary]
+approval_mode = "approve"
+
+[mcp_servers.rea.tools.close_binary]
+approval_mode = "approve"
+```
+
+Use the actual server ID and only the operations whose effects were approved;
+this example does not approve inspection, extraction or runtime execution.
+Show the proposed config edit and preserve unrelated entries and backups before
+writing. Managed policy can constrain client settings. Consult the
+[Codex configuration reference](https://learn.chatgpt.com/docs/config-file/config-reference)
+for the installed client's supported settings. This is an optional recovery
+choice, not a prerequisite for every REA task.
+
+## Continue through an installed CLI
+
+Check the command environment only if the launcher fails:
+
+```bash
+command -v rea
+command -v node
+node --version
+rea --version
+```
+
+Use the public launcher at its known installation path with a supported existing
+Node on PATH when the child shell loses a prefix installation. Avoid internal
+`dist/cli.js` entrypoints or global toolchain changes. MCP may have its own valid
+launcher even when a shell cannot resolve `rea`.
+
+For a user-supplied JavaScript tree or ASAR, select output files in the authorized
+workspace and save complete Evidence before reading a view:
+
+```bash
+rea analyze-javascript-application /absolute/path/to/app --json > app-evidence.json
+jq -c '{source: {kind: "inline", evidence: .}, view: {kind: "summary"}}' app-evidence.json > app-view.json
+rea inspect-analysis-view app-view.json
+```
+
+These commands do not register MCP or install an analysis engine. CLI JavaScript
+JSON is complete and can be very large; redirect it rather than loading it into
+context. Use an existing JSON processor if `jq` is absent, without installing
+one just for this recipe. Inspect a module page or item using the same inline
+source and the [JavaScript recipes](javascript-applications.md). Preserve graph
+coverage, limitations and unknowns. Native CLI analysis still requires its
+selected engine, and all CLI operations retain the host's execution permissions.

+Evidence-producing tools return the complete Evidence record directly in MCP
+`structuredContent` and CLI JSON. Read `normalized_result` for operation data,
+and cite `evidence_id` when another tool or your explanation needs a stable
+reference. Preserve authority, limitations, coverage, and residual unknowns. If a result
+is incomplete or paginated, continue only when the remaining data matters to
+the task; do not fetch a bundle or resource merely to read a result already
+returned inline. When complete `inspect_binary_layout` or
+`analyze_javascript_application` Evidence is already retained, call
+`inspect_analysis_view` for a summary, one section/symbol/module, or a stable
+page instead of repeating the producer.
+
+Completed `inspect_artifact` inventory also supports a summary and
+`view: {kind: "inventory", collection: "occurrences", logical_paths: ["package.json", "main.js"]}`.
+Omit `logical_paths` to page all available occurrences; `[]` selects none.
+Other inventory collections are `nodes`, `edges` and
+`integrity_contradictions`. Keep `source_complete` separate from page exhaustion:
+a missing match in partial source Evidence does not establish absence. Use the
+returned parent Evidence ID for subsequent views and export before closing the
+session when the source must survive it.
+When `tools/list` advertises `inspect_artifact.detail`, request `"summary"` to
+retain its complete source and receive that view immediately. Without that
+advertised choice, keep the existing complete call. CLI inspection returns
+portable complete Evidence; save it before projecting a selected inline view.
+
+Use `record_unknown` to track unresolved questions in the user's investigation
+and name the authority or environment still required. Supply supporting and
+contradicting evidence IDs. It updates the session registry directly.
+Use `update_unknown` with the current revision; reread after a stale revision
+instead of retrying blindly. Only qualifying observed evidence can verify a
+resolution.
+
+Use comparisons with complete, compatible page sets when claiming equivalence
+or absence:
+
+- `compare_artifacts` compares inventory pages by occurrence path, content,
+  metadata, and graph relations.
+- `compare_functions` compares explicit function Evidence, not fuzzy
+  whole-binary matches.
+- `compare_bundles` compares canonical bundle membership and unknown history.
+- `find_changed_behavior` combines existing comparisons; static differences
+  remain candidates, not causal proof.
+- `build_call_path` needs explicit function dossiers from one artifact/provider;
+  an incomplete frontier makes absence unknown.
+- `correlate_static_and_runtime` uses explicit mappings; matching patterns are
+  hypotheses, not causality.
+- `verify_reconstruction` evaluates a finite typed specification. A pass covers
+  only declared comparable claims, not global equivalence.
+
+Process captures are opt-in behavioral evidence, not a security sandbox. V3
+captures cannot be upgraded to V4; rerun the original scenario. Distinguish root
+exit from descendant settlement and require freshness when the task needs it.
+A timed-out target that must write a final report needs `finalization_ms`: REA
+sends SIGTERM to the captured root, keeps observing, and sends SIGKILL once
+only if the target has not exited by the end of the interval.
+`exit.finalization.signals` lists each attempt with its delivery result; the
+observed exit signal stays in `exit.signal`, `exit.code` is null for every
+deadline exit, and the code of a finalizer that exited on its own is in
+`exit.finalization.exit_code` (null on a signal exit or when no exit was
+observed).
+
+Use `inspect_analysis_view` with `view: {kind: "api-surface"}` on retained
+`inspect_web_network_capture` HAR Evidence to group observed request lines by
+method, origin and path template. Format matches are inferences, not handler
+identity or schemas. Group pages cite parent record ordinals; consult record
+coverage and exclusions before claiming completeness. No requests are replayed.
+When the connected schema advertises `include_query_parameter_names`, select
+it in the view for distinct observed names with original record ordinals. Query
+values are omitted; the names establish neither required parameters nor a
+complete server schema. Keep the original parent Evidence for exact URLs.

+# JavaScript and Electron application artifacts
+
+For captured or bundled JavaScript that needs readable source recovery, use
+`recover_javascript_sources` with an absolute `path` and absent
+`output_directory`. Supply related runtime/shared/lazy files in
+`additional_paths` when advertised, then analyze the returned `analysis_input`
+directory together. Each input retains its own snapshot, digest and byte-range
+provenance; inputs and recovered code are never executed. Recovery requires a
+caller-supplied Wakaru on Linux x64; see [the recovery guide](https://github.com/morluto/rea/blob/main/docs/javascript-recovery.md).
+
+Use `analyze_javascript_application` directly on the operator-supplied ASAR or
+extracted tree. When the question concerns known source paths and the connected
+schema advertises `source_paths`, select exact inventoried paths such as
+`["package.json", "main.js", "preload.js"]`. Include supporting manifests or
+source maps explicitly; dependencies are not implicitly analyzed. REA retains
+the complete artifact inventory and identity but reads source text and analyzes
+only selected files. The result and summary record `source_selection`; files
+outside scope and their relationships remain unknown, so partial application
+coverage does not mean the selected source failed. Use repeated `--source-path`
+on either static application CLI route. Omit the selection when the question
+requires complete application analysis. `detail: "summary"` reduces delivery
+and does not by itself reduce analysis work.
+
+Exact `#alias` specifiers resolve through the importer's
+enclosing package `imports` map to package-local files; nested `node_modules`
+packages use their own map. Wildcard, recursive, and external-package import
+targets stay unresolved with that limitation. When size is unknown or large and the connected schema advertises
+`detail`, request `detail: "summary"`. This returns an `inspect_analysis_view`
+Evidence record with a distinct ID and a `normalized_result.parent_evidence_id`
+for the complete retained application analysis. Source-map contents are part of
+that static analysis. Read findings, coverage, limitations and unknowns, then
+follow a specific unanswered question. Older servers without `detail` return
+the complete application Evidence inline when it fits.
+
+When the connected schema advertises `max_heap_mb` and `analysis_timeout_ms`,
+these select the isolated source analyzer's old-space heap and per-source
+deadline. Defaults are 1024 MiB and 300000 ms. They do not change the MCP
+process heap. A Bun-hosted REA does not enforce the heap choice; on Windows it
+instead limits the analyzer's committed memory to that choice plus a 512 MiB
+runtime reserve.
+Resource-limited analyses preserve completed static facts and
+report partial semantic coverage with specific unknown scopes; this does not
+mean the source is malformed. Inspect those limits before retrying a source.
+When expanded relationships exceed the parent's available memory, inspect the
+file's modules item view for retained `static_analysis` and
+`semantic_module_analysis`. Their facts remain available even when graph links
+are unknown. Cumulative result exhaustion can stop analysis before every file
+is examined; the inventory and remaining unknown scopes distinguish that case.
+Timeout or cancellation after source analysis begins retains partial Evidence
+in the same session. A returned `error.details.partial_observation` reference
+can be supplied directly to `inspect_analysis_view`. If the SDK cancels locally, retrieve its recorded ID from
+the Evidence bundle before inspecting the partial analysis.
+
+## Read a module without repeating analysis
+
+Use the actual returned parent ID, on the same connection, as `source.evidence_id`.
+The following IDs are placeholders to replace with returned values. When the
+module's node ID is not already known, page identities before selecting an item.
+Pages return only node IDs, paths and roles; choose a useful page size and follow
+`coverage.next_offset` when another page matters:
+
+```json
+{
+  "source": {
+    "kind": "retained-evidence",
+    "evidence_id": "ev_ACTUAL_PARENT_ID"
+  },
+  "view": { "kind": "page", "collection": "modules", "offset": 0, "limit": 16 }
+}
+```
+
+Select the relevant page entry by its exact `node_id` and recorded role:
+
+```json
+{
+  "source": {
+    "kind": "retained-evidence",
+    "evidence_id": "ev_ACTUAL_PARENT_ID"
+  },
+  "view": {
+    "kind": "item",
+    "collection": "modules",
+    "selector": { "node_id": "jag_node_ACTUAL_NODE_ID" }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+Module pages include asset, bundled and source module roles, so one path can
+identify several entries. Use `selector.path` only when uniqueness is established;
+the returned node ID avoids needing a complete inventory to prove uniqueness. On ambiguity,
+select the matching node ID from the page or the error's candidates. Follow
+`next_offset` when another page matters. An item exposes that module node's
+recorded observations, identity, hashes, exports and source ranges; it does not
+include every child syntax observation, related edge or original source file.
+An absent item fact is not evidence of absence from the whole application.
+
+## Trace only the remaining question
+
+Use `trace_application_feature` on the parent application Evidence for one
+literal node ID, route, string, API, IPC channel, module, or native export.
+Select `incoming` for relationships leading to the seed, `outgoing` for those
+leaving it, and `both` when the question needs both. Trace traversal includes
+containment relationships, so even a narrow seed can expand many nodes; a
+bidirectional trace can reach unrelated sibling modules. A module item or page
+is preferable when its observations already answer the question. Do not treat
+all reached nodes as participants in the feature.
+
+Reuse retained parent Evidence when the server advertises it, or supply complete
+Evidence inline. Include Hopper or Ghidra Evidence only when its artifact digest
+matches exactly.
+
+## Recover an oversized display
+
+An oversized response reports `resource_constraint` and
+`details.resource: "transport"`. Reuse
+`details.reported_limits.evidence_reference` with `inspect_analysis_view` for a
+summary, one module, or a stable page of module identities.
+`export_evidence_bundle` writes the complete canonical session to a
+caller-selected file. These workflows keep the original Evidence and coverage;
+a broad follow-up can also exceed framing.
+
+A client can truncate a successful result inside its text envelope without a
+REA `resource_constraint`. Treat a truncation notice or incomplete JSON as a
+display limitation; do not claim the full record was examined. Reuse the known
+parent ID for smaller views, or export complete Evidence to a selected file
+while the session remains open. If the parent ID was lost from the preview,
+use the prior analysis summary or explicit ledger entries to recover it; do
+not invent an ID or rerun analysis just to reproduce the same display.
+
+BrowserWindow preferences, preload and contextBridge surfaces, IPC
+registrations, utility processes, and native binding requests are static syntax
+observations. Only a unique exact literal IPC channel match supports an inferred
+pairing. Dynamic or ambiguous channels remain unresolved. A requested `.node`
+member is not a verified native export. Never claim runtime reachability,
+registration, defaults, or policy enforcement from static analysis.
+
+For version comparison, analyze each version once, then call
+`compare_application_versions`. Accept only its digest, source-map, structural
+fingerprint, or non-module semantic matches. Module ordinals and minified names
+are not persistent identity. Report added or removed only with complete
+opposite-side coverage; otherwise report unknown.
+
+When the question asks how one exact exported callable's returned object shape
+changed, analyze each version once and then call
+`compare_javascript_export_shapes` with explicit module paths and export names.
+Use the returned IDs on the same connection, or complete inline Evidence
+records, from both analysis calls. Accept variant
+pairing only through the tool's unique exact literal discriminant. Read
+`property_inventories` and each change's `presence` before treating `unknown` as
+"the name was not observed": inventories list observed property names even when
+values stay unknown, with a `source_range` for each paired or unpaired variant.
+Array holes and mutation-invalidated slots are not observed properties.
+Complete parent coverage reports presence-only
+`added`/`removed` independently of unresolved values. Cite the
+comparison Evidence and report JSON Pointer changes; dynamic values, ambiguous
+variants, and incomplete parent-property coverage stay unknown. This is static
+inference, not runtime behavior. When runtime semantics are needed, run
+behavioral probes against the relevant application versions and capture them
+through the available browser, Electron, or process workflows.
+
+## Reusing application Evidence
+
+When advertised by the connected server, application trace and compare tools
+accept complete inline Evidence or
+`{"kind":"retained-evidence","evidence_id":"ev_<64 lowercase hex characters>"}`
+for their application input (`application`, or `left`/`right`). `inspect_analysis_view`
+uses the same retained-reference form in `source`, or portable inline Evidence,
+to project a summary, module page, or one module with its recorded observations. This notation is
+a template: replace it with the actual returned ID. Versions before 4.1.0 accept only full
+inline Evidence. Use the exact ID
+returned by the producer on the same MCP connection. Resolution does not run
+analysis or select a provider; findings remain inline. Native observation
+arrays still take full Evidence. `close_binary` clears retained references;
+export a bundle before closing, or supply portable inline Evidence in another
+connection. A missing reference includes its ID and recovery guidance.

+# Native, managed, and packaged artifacts
+
+## Go build metadata
+
+Use `inspect_go_binary` for an explicit local ELF, PE or thin Mach-O when the
+question concerns the embedded compiler version, module/dependency versions,
+local replacements or build settings. No `open_binary`, Go installation or
+target execution is required. The CLI equivalent is `inspect-go-binary PATH`.
+Preserve artifact SHA-256, original file ranges, framed module bytes and every
+unparsed module-text line. A missing record is an unknown, not proof of a
+non-Go binary; observed metadata does not authenticate its claims. Function,
+source and type recovery remain a separate native-analysis question.
+
+## Rust dependency metadata
+
+Use `inspect_rust_binary` for an explicit local ELF, PE, or thin Mach-O when
+the question concerns the cargo-auditable crate list embedded in `.dep-v0`
+(Mach-O: `__DATA,.dep-v0`). No `open_binary`, Rust installation, or target
+execution is required. The CLI equivalent is `inspect-rust-binary PATH`.
+Preserve artifact SHA-256, package order, dependency indices, and the section
+file range. A missing section is null metadata, not proof the binary has no
+dependencies. An omitted package kind stays null. A rustc commit hash is
+inferred from a read-only `/rustc/<40-hex>/` path and does not by itself
+identify the compiler. See [Rust binaries](https://github.com/morluto/rea/blob/main/docs/rust-binaries.md).
+
+## SQLite snapshots
+
+Use `inspect_sqlite_database` with an explicit local database snapshot for its
+schema and optional rows from one exact ordinary table. It requires Node.js
+24.x >=24.15 or 26+ with the native `DatabaseSync.limits` API. It also consumes the
+existing sibling `-wal`; retain both original digests when citing its result.
+Default output is a compact inventory; a selected table expands only its own
+schema and samples 20 rows. Select `columns` to avoid irrelevant or large cells,
+and request `schema_scope: "database"` only for complete schema details.
+Choose `row_limit` when a finite sample is useful and keep truncation and
+unspecified row order explicit. Virtual tables, shadow tables and views are
+schema facts, not row-read targets. REA inspects private copies and leaves
+the source files untouched; obtain a coherent quiescent database/WAL snapshot
+before inspection. See [SQLite snapshots](https://github.com/morluto/rea/blob/main/docs/sqlite-databases.md).
+
+## Recorded Linux crashes
+
+Use `inspect_recorded_crash` with an explicit Linux x86-64 ELF core path to
+inspect historical thread registers, signals, raw notes and original file
+ranges. It is independent of the active disassembler target. Source-bound
+register values and note bytes are observations; missing notes, signal-thread
+association and current executable/library identity remain unknown. PIDs are
+historical metadata and never authorize live attach or control.
+
+The optional `include_debugger_context` facet adds mapping candidates through
+caller-supplied GDB/pwndbg in an owned core-only session. Display names do not
+establish current file identity; zero reported flags leave permissions unknown.
+Requested unavailable context fails with setup guidance. See
+[recorded crashes](https://github.com/morluto/rea/blob/main/docs/recorded-crashes.md)
+for exact upstream profiles, bounds and verification coverage.
+
+## Offline ELF layout
+
+Use `inspect_binary_layout` with an explicit local ELF path for file-backed
+sections, symbols, relocations, linkage names, and static mitigation inferences
+without opening a disassembler target. When that complete record is already
+retained, call `inspect_analysis_view` for a summary, mitigations or linkage
+facet, one section or symbol, or a stable page. Do not re-run the decoder to
+read a single object.
+
+## Offline WASM
+
+Use `inspect_wasm_artifact` with caller-supplied WABT for selected local bytes.
+For counts, validation and WAT identity, select `detail: "summary"` on the first
+MCP call. The complete original Evidence stays retained; use
+`normalized_result.parent_evidence_id` for exact exports or text pages. Omitted
+or complete detail keeps the existing complete result.
+For a completed result, use `inspect_analysis_view` with its reported retained
+reference for a summary or `view: {kind: "wasm", facet: "exports", offset: 0, limit: 32}`.
+Facets also include sections, imports, candidates, glue, WAT, headers, details
+and tool profile. Text offsets count UTF-16 code units; follow `next_offset`.
+The complete source remains retained after an oversized MCP reply. No target
+execution or network acquisition is implied, and WAT is decoded representation.
+
+## Native targets
+
+After `open_binary`, use focused search, procedure, or function tools directly.
+Use `binary_overview` when target metadata or inventory context helps answer the
+question. Prefer literal search, names, decompilation, callers, callees, and
+cross-references. Addresses and recovered pseudocode are analysis observations,
+not original source. Provider unavailability and unsupported metadata remain
+unknown rather than false.
+
+For a completed `analyze_function` dossier, use `inspect_analysis_view` with
+`view: {kind: "native", facet: "value_flow_operations", offset: 0, limit: 32}`
+and the exact retained Evidence ID to read selected facts without reanalysis.
+Native facets also include procedure, pseudocode, assembly, basic blocks,
+comments, callers/callees, references, unresolved calls, referenced strings and
+names, the native API record, and value-flow summaries. Pseudocode offsets and limits count UTF-16
+code units; use the returned `next_offset` for continuation. Provider limitations
+and unavailable facts remain explicit; the complete parent Evidence is retained.
+
+`inspect_macho` on a large framework returns megabytes of imports and exports.
+Select `detail: "summary"` for slice identity, UUID and per-collection counts,
+then page rows with `view: {kind: "macho", facet: "exports", offset: 0, limit: 64}`
+and `normalized_result.parent_evidence_id`. Facets are entrypoints,
+architectures, build_metadata, load_commands, dependencies, imports, exports,
+segments and provenance. `source_exhaustive: false` means unreturned symbols
+may exist.
+
+To see which functions or Objective-C methods a Mach-O actually calls in one
+run, use `observe_native_calls` with explicit breakpoints and a bounded
+`duration_ms`/`max_events`. It launches a new process under LLDB, so the target
+runs and may change files or use the network. Hardened-runtime targets need the
+`get-task-allow` entitlement.
+
+Use `binary_session` with no arguments to check the open target, selected
+provider, and alignment. Its default `result.tool_availability` carries a
+complete inventory grouped by shared facts. Expand each group's `names` and
+inherit the inventory-level client requirements unless a group overrides them;
+availability, reasons, remediation, modes, and flags remain inline. The
+`effects` and `annotations` arrays name true flags from fixed vocabularies, so an
+omitted known flag is false. `tools/list` remains the canonical source for full
+tool schemas when target or provider state changes.
+
+Provider capability groups carry provider identity and ordered limitations.
+Prepend each set's `shared_limitations` to a group's `limitations` to recover the
+operation's full ordered list. Candidate capabilities describe possible
+providers. Top-level session capabilities describe the current route, and
+`analysis_provider_binding` identifies the selected provider.
+
+## DOS MZ with Ghidra
+
+For an admitted DOS MZ target, use `inspect_native_load_image` to check measured
+loaded bytes, file mappings, relocations and the entry against the immutable
+snapshot. Keep `mismatch` and `unsupported` explicit. Verified import covers the
+reported static image, not runtime DOS or PC-98 hardware behavior.
+
+For Ghidra decompilation, `procedure_pseudo_code` also accepts `procedure: "file-offset:0x..."`; CLI `rea decompile <path> --file-offset=0x... --provider ghidra` resolves the source byte offset internally. An unresolved 0x-prefixed numeric procedure selector also falls back to a unique file mapping. Existing symbols and analysis addresses win; multiple mappings fail as ambiguous. Preserve the returned file-offset and address locations and raw selection observations. ELF virtual addresses are distinct from file offsets; never assume an arbitrary offset plus image base is an analysis address.
+
+Use `read_bytes` for initialized analysis memory and `address_to_file_offset` to
+anchor one observed address to original file bytes. Loader fixups can change a
+word; a source offset does not imply byte equality. Complete function body ranges
+use inclusive ends and can contain gaps. Do not treat the enclosing span as code.
+For packed targets, retain the original and separately derived artifact identities;
+decompiling an unpacking stub does not recover the unpacked program.
+
+When reading Objective-C dispatch metadata, distinguish class implementation
+methods from protocol requirements: class methods report null requirement
+flags, while decoded protocol declarations retain required and optional facts.
+Property attributes remain raw name/value tokens; use the property's
+`atomicity` field for the decoded `N` marker or the default atomic behavior.
+Null class/meta flags, ivar counts, atomicity, or read-only values mean the
+selected provider did not establish that fact. Symbol names alone do not prove
+that a class is a root class or has no ivars.
+
+## Managed PE/CLI
+
+Start with `inspect_managed_artifact`. REA's canonical managed inspection is
+execution-free: do not claim it loaded, reflected, executed, or resolved the
+assembly. Keep managed/native boundaries and unavailable reconstruction facts
+explicit. A bring-your-own reconstruction oracle is separate from the canonical
+parser and must not become an implicit setup dependency.
+
+For identity/classification questions, `inspect_managed_artifact` can explicitly
+select `detail: "summary"` on the first MCP call. It retains complete metadata
+and returns a linked overview with full classification/evidence, nullable
+module/MVID, frameworks, metadata coverage/issues/limitations and returned-row
+counts. Default complete requests remain unchanged. Read original rows with
+`inspect_analysis_view`, source `normalized_result.parent_evidence_id`, and
+`view: {kind: "managed", collection: "attributes", offset: 0, limit: 16}`.
+Collections are `references`, `resources` and `attributes`. Paging does not
+repeat parsing. Returned-row exhaustion
+does not prove complete metadata or absence under partial/unavailable coverage;
+preserve build-local tokens and their artifact/MVID scope.
+
+### .NET NativeAOT
+
+NativeAOT binaries contain native machine code, so ordinary CIL decompilers
+cannot recover the original method bodies. When managed metadata/CIL is absent,
+classify that as a native-analysis route rather than claiming source recovery.
+Open the native image with the selected deep provider and inspect functions,
+strings, calls, and references; describe decompiler output as pseudocode and
+inference.
+
+NativeAOT images can be PE/COFF, ELF, or Mach-O executables and shared
+libraries. Use file bytes and loader metadata rather than suffixes to identify
+them. For packaged apps, inventory/extract with REA's artifact tools and retain
+the exact contained image identity. PDB, ELF debug, or dSYM sidecars are
+additional evidence only when the provider accepts and matches them.
+
+REA has a built-in read-only snapshot parser for x64 PE targets with .NET 8 RTR
+9.1 metadata. An optional headless Ghidra adapter adds database annotations and
+broader metadata recovery on Linux; it requires an explicitly configured
+NativeAOT JAR. These are separate routes. The built-in parser also runs on
+Windows Ghidra P0; read frozen literals from its report, because
+`search_strings` does not include them. See the
+[NativeAOT guide](https://github.com/morluto/rea/blob/main/docs/ghidra-nativeaot.md)
+for setup, supported layouts, and host restrictions. Preserve binary identity
+and distinguish derived metadata from Ghidra database observations. Recovered
+types and native pseudocode are not original C# source. Windows Ghidra P0 has
+no database mutation authority.
+
+## Packages and extraction
+
+Use `inspect_artifact` for application bundles, archives, ZIP/APK/IPA/MSIX/AppX,
+ASAR, or DMG inputs when the artifact graph and findings help answer the
+question. It returns the complete artifact graph inline. Cite graph manifest
+IDs when using them.
+
+For an IPA or a macOS `.app`, ZIP, or DMG, pass the inventory Evidence to
+`project_apple_application_graph`. It reports application roots and nested
+bundles by path convention: app extensions, XPC services, frameworks, login
+items, system and driver extensions, and plug-ins. It also lists privileged
+helpers, launchd plists, symlinks, and each bundle's `info_plist_path` and
+executable candidates. Roles are path conventions, not parsed plists; read the
+listed plists with `inspect_plist`.
+
+After `open_binary` on a `.app` or Mach-O, use `trace_dylib_resolution` to see
+which file each `@rpath`, `@loader_path` and `@executable_path` load reaches for
+every executable in the bundle. It also lists missing or weak loads and earlier
+`@rpath` candidates that are absent. Narrow large bundles with `roots` or
+`architecture`. System paths stay undetermined because the dyld shared cache
+provides them.
+
+Use `extract_artifact` when materialized files are needed. It extracts the active
+target and accepts optional `integrity_policy`; see the [MCP contracts](https://github.com/morluto/rea/blob/main/docs/mcp-contracts.md).
+It materializes all regular files into a fresh temporary directory chosen by
+REA. Symlinks and encrypted entries are inventory facts, not extractable files.
+The result reports the materialized directory; callers do not choose the
+destination. No separate permission grant is needed.
+
+Native DMG traversal automatically uses a read-only mount on supported macOS
+hosts, with an owned temporary mount directory and cleanup. It needs no approval
+flag. Unsupported hosts or mount failures remain explicit limitations; do not
+claim child inventory when only root identity is available. Extraction is a
+separate filesystem-writing operation.
+
+For headerless DOS COM, explicitly open with `format: "dos-com"` (CLI
+`--target-format dos-com`). Inspect the load image before trusting function
+analysis: the entry is `0x10100`, file offset zero, with imposed real-mode segment
+context. PSP/stack/device state remains unmodeled. See [DOS guide](https://github.com/morluto/rea/blob/main/docs/ghidra-dos.md).
+
+For other headerless images (embedded firmware without ELF/Mach-O/PE/MZ
+headers), open with `format: "raw-binary"`, `architecture` (`x86`, `x86_64`,
+`arm`, `arm64`, or `6502`), and `entry_point` (`0x` hex). File offset 0 is mapped at
+that address. Hopper and IDA refuse this interpretation; Ghidra uses
+`BinaryLoader` with a little-endian generic language. Big-endian, Thumb-only,
+and Cortex-M variants are unsupported. `6502` selects NMOS 6502; the entry and
+complete file mapping must fit within `0x0000..0xffff`. 65C02, 65816, cartridge
+containers, bank switching, and mapper semantics are unsupported. Windows
+Ghidra P0 admits raw images only for `6502`. See [raw binary guide](https://github.com/morluto/rea/blob/main/docs/raw-binary.md).
+
+### Function annotations in Ghidra
+
+Use `annotate_native_function` for one function name and/or entry comments, with at least one explicit change. Review its annotation readback and refreshed dossier inline. Changes are atomic and session-scoped; empty comments clear them, omitted fields preserve them. Later MCP calls observe edits until close. CLI `annotate-native-function` returns the updated analysis before discarding the session. Original executable bytes are unchanged; edits invalidate immutable snapshots. Windows P0 does not admit database mutations. For naming only, `set_address_name` / `set_addresses_names` also work with Ghidra: they name function entries or data addresses (primary labels) and return compact per-address success booleans instead of a dossier.
+
+## Offline PE resource inventory
+
+Use `inspect_pe_resources` with an absolute `path`, or
+`rea inspect-pe-resources ./selected.exe --json`, for portable PE32/PE32+
+resource inspection without opening a native target. Preserve returned Evidence:
+type/name/language IDs and UTF-16 names, original directory/data/payload ranges,
+code pages, payload hashes and static icon-group references. Same-language icon
+resolution is explicit; missing references and size mismatch remain visible.
+Other payloads are opaque, and this operation does not decode images or simulate
+Windows resource loading. Consult the budgets and supported tree profile in
+[offline binary diagnostics](https://github.com/morluto/rea/blob/main/docs/binary-diagnostics.md).
+
+For exact core-module import/export differences, use `compare_wasm_interfaces`
+with two complete inspection Evidence records (or current-session retained
+references) and explicit scope. Preserve unknown types/duplicate names; static
+interface equality is not runtime compatibility. CLI accepts complete inline
+Evidence in `rea compare-wasm-interfaces input.json --json`.

+# Browser and Electron runtime observation
+
+Supply the existing browser or Electron instance's literal-port loopback CDP
+endpoint in the request. No separate permission configuration or per-call
+approval flag is needed. Browser discovery lists eligible HTTP(S) pages;
+`allowed_origins` optionally filters them. An individual capture defaults to the
+selected page's current origin. Electron discovery lists eligible local
+`file://` targets without a configured file-root allowlist.
+
+Start passive browser work with `list_browser_targets`; start Electron runtime work with
+`list_electron_targets`. Before an electron-main Inspector attempt, check
+packaged fuses with `inspect_electron_fuses`. Inspect the target selected for
+the user's task. Observation with these tools is passive: never claim REA
+clicked, navigated, evaluated page JavaScript, invoked IPC, or captured prior
+activity. REA does not contain the page's network.
+
+Passive captures omit raw header collections, credential header values, storage
+values, and raw WebSocket/JSON bodies. Selected response metadata, including
+content encoding, policy values, and Link URLs, is retained. Local URLs retain ordinary query
+values and fragments; userinfo credentials are removed. Browser accessibility
+text, console primitives, value-free shapes, script sources, source maps, and
+storage key names have request-specific capture options. Electron script
+sources are also optional. Use `capture_web_screenshot` when pixels are needed.
+Treat scope filtering, truncation, and attach-window coverage as limitations.
+Page-declared WebMCP tools are untrusted inventory and are never invoked by REA.
+
+## Who performs the action
+
+- The user performs it: `list_browser_targets`, then `inspect_web_page` or
+  `observe_web_session` on the selected target.
+- The agent must perform it: one `capture_browser_scenario` with declared
+  actions. Use connect mode with the loopback CDP endpoint and `target_id` for
+  an existing browser, or launch mode with a caller-selected executable for a
+  temporary profile. Connect mode first navigates the selected page to
+  `start_url`, which can clear unsaved form values and other temporary state.
+  Recreate the state needed for the investigation in the declared actions.
+  Connect mode leaves the external browser open; launch mode owns a temporary
+  browser and profile. Check `browser.cleanup` for the outcome.
+  Request only the DOM, accessibility, or network details needed for the question.
+  The default final capture contains the URL; step outcomes are reported separately.
+  Add a wait action for the expected page state before capturing it. Report that
+  REA performed the declared actions.
+
+Scenario network records have no request initiator stacks. For that evidence,
+use passive capture while the user performs the action. Listener source locations
+identify candidate handlers; they do not establish which script sent a particular
+request. Avoid overlapping passive capture and scenario actions on the same target.
+
+Focused follow-up tools:
+
+- `observe_web_execution`: execution coverage during a window; it resets
+  counters and temporarily disables optimization.
+- `inspect_web_event_listeners`: source locations for listeners registered
+  directly on the first CSS match, without dispatching an event.
+- `compare_web_captures`: two normalized passive captures or recorded scenarios.
+- `discover_webmcp_tools`: inspect page-declared WebMCP inventory; never invoke
+  the discovered tools.
+
+Use `reconcile_javascript_runtime` only after static application Evidence and
+passive browser/Electron Evidence exist. Prefer captured-source digest identity;
+report path/digest disagreement as a mismatch and preserve ambiguity. Explicit
+path mappings are inference inputs and never broaden filesystem or CDP authority.
+A bundle observed at runtime does not prove every contained module executed.
+
+## Fiddler Everywhere traffic debugging
+
+For large saved captures, request `detail: "summary"`, then page retained Evidence
+with `inspect_analysis_view` and `view: {kind: "capture", detail: "preview", offset: 0, limit: 20}`.
+Select complete record pages only for needed headers, metadata or payloads; views
+read the historical parent without repeating capture decoding.
+
+Inspect native `.saz` snapshots with `inspect_web_network_capture` and
+`format: "saz"`; encrypted archives are unsupported. For live
+traffic analysis, connect Everywhere's separate MCP server and use its
+advertised session tools with an explicit `sessionsSource` (`LiveTraffic` or
+`AgentCalls`). Preserve existing sessions and filters when inspecting a
+recorded run. See the [capture and MCP guide](https://github.com/morluto/rea/blob/main/docs/web-network-captures.md)
+for the workflow and Telerik's public setup and traffic-debugging skills.

-## Description
+<!--
+PR title: type(optional-scope): imperative outcome
+The title becomes the squash-merge commit subject and generated changelog entry.
+-->
 
-<!-- What does this change do? Why is it needed? -->
+## Summary
 
-## Type of Change
+<!-- What user, agent, or maintainer problem does this solve? Link the issue
+with "Fixes #123" when applicable. Keep the prior behavior, expected contract,
+and new behavior understandable without private context. -->
 
-- [ ] Bug fix
-- [ ] New feature
-- [ ] Documentation update
-- [ ] Performance improvement
-- [ ] Refactoring (no functional change)
-- [ ] Tool contract change (MCP schema modification)
+## Problem and expected behavior
 
-## Testing Performed
+<!-- For fixes, give the smallest trigger and violated invariant. For features,
+describe the use case and observable outcome. -->
 
-<!-- Describe the testing you have done to verify this change. -->
+## Change and scope
 
-- [ ] Unit tests added or updated
-- [ ] TypeScript typecheck passes (`npm run typecheck`)
-- [ ] Linting passes (`npm run lint`)
-- [ ] Full test suite passes (`npm test`)
-- [ ] Real Hopper verification performed (`npm run verify:hopper`)
-- [ ] Linux real Hopper verification performed (`npm run verify:hopper:linux`) or unavailability explained
-- [ ] Real browser verification performed (`npm run verify:browser`) or unavailability explained
-- [ ] Package verification performed (`npm run verify:package`)
+<!-- Explain the chosen approach, why it fits REA's architecture, and what is
+intentionally not included. -->
 
-## Tool Contract Impact
+Follow the [contribution scope](https://github.com/morluto/rea/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md#contribution-scope).
+Unresolved scope, authority, side effects, or required verification block
+integration. Link the required maintainer scope decision for new providers or
+capabilities involving target execution, injection, mutation, or protection
+recovery; ordinary fixes within existing boundaries may state "not applicable".
+Draft PRs may leave the scope decision pending and the final review checklist
+unchecked. Maintainers can help resolve open questions.
 
-<!-- If this PR adds, removes, or modifies MCP tools, list them here. -->
-<!-- Canonical inventory and family counts are generated in docs/product-catalog.json. -->
+## Contract and boundary impact
 
-## Related Issues
+<!-- Short answers are welcome. Complete applicable lines; mark unresolved facts as "unknown".
+Use "none" or "not applicable" only when established. -->
 
-<!-- Link issues this PR closes or relates to. Use "Closes #123" syntax. -->
+- Semantic owner and earliest changed stage:
+- Contribution scope fit and linked maintainer decision:
+- CLI and MCP/tool-catalog contract:
+- Provider, bridge, target-format, or platform compatibility:
+- Evidence, artifact, provenance, or reconstruction contract:
+- Target selection, authority, upstream behavior, and cleanup details (if applicable):
+- Generated metadata (`docs/public/product-catalog.json`), package, or installation impact (CI generates and validates ignored catalogs and `skills/`; edit authored instructions in `.agents/skills/reverse-engineer-anything/` and never commit build outputs):
+
+Expected effects (check known effects; use documentation-only on its own).
+Unchecked items do not establish absence; leave uncertainties visible.
+
+- [ ] Read existing files or captured data.
+- [ ] Launch or attach to a process.
+- [ ] Inject instrumentation or run scripts/code.
+- [ ] Change process memory, registers, files, or configuration.
+- [ ] Contact network services.
+- [ ] Recover protected code or work around protections.
+- [ ] Documentation or usability only; no target interaction.
+- [ ] Not sure yet; investigation or maintainer guidance needed.
+
+## Evidence and regression coverage
+
+<!-- State whether evidence is executed, source-derived, or proposed. For fixes,
+explain how the regression would fail on the affected base revision when practical. -->
+
+- Tests added or updated:
+- Base reproduction or other evidence:
+- User-visible CLI/MCP output (if applicable):
+- Remaining proof gaps:
+
+For evidence-bearing changes:
+
+- [ ] Observed, derived, and inferred claims remain distinguishable.
+- [ ] Artifact identity, source provenance, and failed attempts remain preserved.
+- [ ] Unsupported, incomplete, unavailable, or uncertain outcomes remain visible.
+
+## Validation performed
+
+<!-- List only commands that actually ran, with observed results. Include the
+relevant real-provider or platform workflow, or explain why it was unavailable. -->
+
+- `command` — result
+
+## Compatibility, safety, and release
+
+<!-- Call out breaking changes, migrations, package effects, platform/provider
+limits, security/privacy/containment implications, and meaningful proof gaps. -->
+
+- Breaking changes or migration steps:
+  <!-- For ! / BREAKING CHANGE: show a previously valid call/configuration,
+  its new behavior and migration, and why compatibility/deprecation cannot
+  preserve it. Every release increments minor, including breaking changes;
+  keep breaking markers and migration notes so callers can assess compatibility.
+  See docs/releasing.md. -->
+- Real Hopper/Ghidra, browser, or OS coverage:
+- Package or release metadata impact:
+- Security, privacy, process, or containment review:
+
+## Before merge
+
+<!-- Draft PRs may leave pending items unchecked. Resolve material scope and
+authority questions before integration. -->
+
+- [ ] This PR addresses a concrete problem or an agreed enhancement.
+- [ ] Material scope and authority questions are resolved, and any required maintainer scope decision covers the final diff.
+- [ ] The PR has one focused outcome and the title follows `type(scope): outcome`.
+- [ ] Related issue is linked, or the reason for not linking one is stated above.
+- [ ] Tests cover changed observable behavior and meaningful failure paths.
+- [ ] Owning docs, contracts, and generated metadata are updated where needed.
+- [ ] User-visible CLI/MCP changes include representative output.
+- [ ] I checked the final diff for secrets, unrelated cleanup, and unsupported claims.

 # Repository Guidelines
 
-## Product Direction
+## Product and Authority
 
-REA exposes reverse-engineering tools through a CLI and MCP server. Hopper and the bring-your-own Ghidra adapter are operation-capable deep binary-analysis providers. Ghidra is supported on Linux x64 and has an experimental Windows x64 P0 boundary for approved native x86-64 PE applications; it supplies admitted read-only inventory and function-analysis operations but no GUI or mutation authority. Keep provider-specific code out of the domain and application layers.
+REA is a local-only reverse-engineering tool with shared CLI/MCP workflows. Distinguish observations, derivations, inferences, and unknowns; preserve Evidence provenance and session semantics through both adapters. Provider support and setup live in [README.md](README.md#choosing-a-deep-analysis-provider) and its linked guides.
 
-Prioritize:
+Follow the [contribution scope and fail-closed integration rule](CONTRIBUTING.md#contribution-scope). Do not integrate capabilities while material scope, authority, side-effect, or required verification questions remain unresolved. For new providers or capabilities involving target execution, injection, mutation, or protection recovery, seek the required maintainer scope decision before substantial implementation for integration. Welcome early proposals, small exploratory prototypes, and draft PRs that help resolve questions; they do not authorize integration.
 
-- tool results that distinguish observations, inferences, and unknowns;
-- equivalent behavior through the CLI and MCP;
-- additive, idempotent configuration with backups;
-- end-to-end tests for packaged artifacts and real Hopper/Ghidra claims.
+Ghidra uses ephemeral databases without modifying executable bytes or controlling a GUI; Windows Ghidra P0 has no mutation authority. IDA analysis is read-only; never save or close an attached GUI database.
 
-Installers must not install or upgrade Homebrew, Node.js, npm, Java, Ghidra, or other unrelated software. Ghidra is bring-your-own. `rea setup` must print its planned changes and require approval before writing files or installing Hopper.
+Configuration changes must be additive and idempotent, with backups. Installers must not install or upgrade unrelated software, including Homebrew, Node.js, npm, Java, or Ghidra. Ghidra and IDA are bring-your-own. `rea setup` must show its planned changes and require approval before writing files or installing Hopper.
 
-REA is a local-only tool; do not sanitize actionable local diagnostics such as artifact paths, digests, mismatch locations, or analysis metadata, while continuing to redact genuine secrets such as credentials and authorization headers.
+Preserve caller-selected inputs and local evidence, including output, URLs, paths, digests, and metadata. Redact transport authentication credentials and explicitly marked sensitive values; do not infer secrecy from names or text patterns. Do not persist the ambient environment merely because a child inherits it.
 
-## Project Structure & Module Organization
+## Architecture and Cleanup
 
-REA is a layered ESM TypeScript application. Dependencies flow inward: `domain` underlies `contracts` and the shared `process` primitives; providers depend on those layers, followed by `application`, `server`, and the entry adapters.
+Dependencies flow inward: domain semantics and contracts, provider adapters, shared application workflows, then CLI/MCP adapters. Keep engine protocols and provider-specific code out of domain/application layers. See [docs/architecture.mermaid](docs/architecture.mermaid) when changing composition.
 
-See [docs/architecture.mermaid](docs/architecture.mermaid) for a visual architecture diagram.
+Give each interpretation and resource a clear owner. Consumers must use that owner's parsed facts rather than reinterpret raw source. Preserve identity, omission, uncertainty, and source evidence across boundaries. Retain ownership of resources whose cleanup failed. Reuse `src/process/` supervision and identity primitives; a PID and executable path alone do not establish ownership after exit or reuse.
 
-- `scripts/rea.mjs`: executable dispatcher. Routes only bare `mcp` and `--mcp` to the production stdio server; Incur handles registration utilities and one-shot commands.
-- `src/main.ts`: MCP adapter. Parses config, wires the shared session runtime, starts stdio transport, and owns process-lifetime shutdown.
-- `src/cli.ts`: one-shot CLI adapter for setup, diagnostics, analysis, and decompilation.
-- `src/config.ts`: Zod-validated parsing of environment configuration into `AppConfig`.
-- `src/domain/`: pure, side-effect-free modules. `errors.ts` owns the tagged error algebra; `result.ts` owns `Result`/`ok`/`err`; `hopperValues.ts` owns shared function-dossier values plus Hopper boundary parsers; `symbolAnalysis.ts` parses Swift/ObjC names; `javascriptApplicationGraph.ts` validates and canonically commits the provider-neutral JavaScript Application Graph; `javascriptStaticAnalysis.ts` performs bounded AST-only JavaScript structure recovery.
-- `src/contracts/`: caller-visible tool schemas and catalog metadata; `toolContracts.ts` owns the canonical inventory and `enhancedInputs.ts` owns enhanced input parsing.
-- `src/process/`: provider-neutral process ownership and lifecycle primitives. It owns private runtime roots, absolute startup deadlines, correlated request waits, bounded output capture, and TERM-to-KILL cleanup without defining any provider wire protocol.
-- `src/replay/`: Linux x64 controlled-JavaScript-replay adapter. It owns exact runtime closure inspection, Bubblewrap/seccomp/cgroup admission, the disposable worker, strict parent/worker protocol validation, and complete cleanup observation.
-- `src/browser/`: loopback CDP discovery, bounded WebSocket transport, exact-origin target authorization, and passive browser observation normalization.
-- `src/hopper/`: Hopper launch and Unix-socket protocol mechanics. `BridgeLauncher.ts` spawns the Hopper app with the in-process bridge, `HopperClient.ts` correlates request/response over the socket with timeouts and cancellation, `protocol.ts` frames bridge messages.
-- `bridge/hopper_bridge.py`: runs inside Hopper and adapts declared operations to Hopper's public Python API. Hopper's bundled MCP server is not used.
-- `src/ghidra/`: exact Ghidra 12.1.2/JDK 21 inspection, analysis-profile commitment, digest-bound target snapshots, isolated `analyzeHeadless` launch, authenticated Unix-socket or Windows loopback transport, bounded serial request queue, and strict inventory/function boundaries.
-- `src/dotnet/`: execution-free managed PE/CLI inspection. It owns bounded PE, CLI metadata, heap, table, and resource parsing for `rea-dotnet-static`; it must never load, reflect, execute, decompile, or resolve target assemblies.
-- `bridge/ghidra/ReaGhidraBridge.java`: packaged read-only `HeadlessScript` loaded through Ghidra's `scriptPath`; it owns the persistent decompiler and adapts admitted inventory, function, reference, and CFG operations to public Ghidra APIs.
-- `src/application/`: shared CLI/MCP session composition, setup and diagnostics, and enhanced workflows. `AnalysisProviderRegistry` discovers overlapping deep candidates without starting them; `SessionProviderRouter` binds one candidate per target and composes it with disjoint auxiliary providers; `JavaScriptArtifactReconstruction.ts` safely projects local directories/ASARs and inert bundle syntax into the application graph without adding a caller-visible tool yet.
-- `src/server/`: MCP request translation. `createServer.ts` assembles the MCP server, `registerOfficialTools.ts`/`registerEnhancedTools.ts` register each tool set, `toolResult.ts` maps `Result` values to MCP content.
-- `docs/product-catalog.json`: generated package, tool-family, provider, setup-client, schema-version, and CLI facts. Regenerate it from source; do not edit it by hand.
-- `tests/`: Vitest suite. `tests/fixtures/` holds reusable provider-process fixtures, source-owned synthetic JavaScript graph and Electron/Webpack/Rspack artifact trees, and the fake launcher, Hopper bridge, and CDP seams.
-- `scripts/verify-real-hopper.mjs`: real-Hopper end-to-end verifier.
-- `scripts/verify-real-ghidra.mjs`: real Linux Ghidra verifier for x86-64 debug/stripped ELF, AArch64 ELF, PE, and Mach-O function semantics plus complete cleanup.
-- `scripts/verify-real-ghidra-windows.mjs`: real Windows x64 Ghidra P0 verifier for the source-owned native PE fixture, all 18 admitted operations, digest linkage, loopback transport, and cleanup.
-- `scripts/verify-real-browser.mjs`: real Chrome end-to-end verifier for the passive CDP provider.
-- `scripts/print-mcp-config.mjs`: prints an MCP server config with absolute paths filled in (`npm run config:print -- /path/to/binary`).
+Keep proof of ownership separate from validity, editability, and readiness. Malformed owned data may still be safely removable. Unresolved identity or applicability must remain unknown rather than be treated as absent, foreign, or aligned.
 
-## Build, Test, and Development Commands
+Assess brittleness in touched code during implementation, debugging, review, and maintenance. Fix the producing representation or ownership rule before adding downstream repairs. Normalize once at the owning boundary using format-aware parsers. Remove superseded representations, aliases, wrappers, and redundant tests after verifying affected consumers. Introduce abstractions only when they remove observed complexity.
 
-- `npm ci`: install exact lockfile dependencies.
-- `npm run deps:check`: verify that installed direct dependency versions match the root lockfile; on failure, run `npm ci`, then retry.
-- `npm run build`: compile `src/` into `dist/`.
-- `npm test`: build, then run the Vitest suite once.
-- `npm run typecheck`: run strict TypeScript checks without emitting files.
-- `npm run lint`: apply oxlint rules (complexity, max-lines, unused vars, and TypeScript-specific checks).
-- `npm run lint:fix`: auto-fix oxlint violations where possible.
-- `npm run format:check`: verify Prettier formatting.
-- `npm run check`: run typecheck, lint, format:check, generated-document freshness checks, and tests.
-- `npm run knip`: detect unused files, dependencies, and exports.
-- `npm run jscpd`: detect duplicate code blocks.
-- `npm run scan:todos`: scan for TODO, FIXME, and HACK markers.
-- `npm run verify:hopper`: build and run the real-Hopper verifier with two distinct binaries.
-- `npm run verify:ghidra`: build and run the real-Ghidra verifier against `GHIDRA_INSTALL_DIR` and optional `GHIDRA_TARGET_PATH`.
-- `npm run verify:ghidra:windows`: build and run the real Windows Ghidra verifier against `GHIDRA_INSTALL_DIR` and the source-owned x64 PE fixture.
-- `npm run verify:browser`: build and run the real Chrome verifier against `REA_BROWSER_EXECUTABLE` or a platform-default Chrome-family executable.
-- `npm run verify:managed`: build and run the source-owned managed PE/CLI conformance verifier for artifact triage, member inspection, managed/native boundary declarations, token drift comparison, malformed metadata, non-managed degradation, managed application-graph projection, manifest-verifier self-test, and optional BYO ILSpy oracle checks; set `REA_MANAGED_APP_MANIFEST_PATH` to verify an operator-local managed app manifest, including optional graph/trace assertions, and set `REA_ILSPY_CMD_PATH` to an absolute `ilspycmd` path to run the real ILSpy reconstruction oracle.
-- `npm run verify:replay`: build and run the real Linux Bubblewrap/seccomp/cgroup verifier against source-owned replay fixtures; set `REA_REPLAY_INPUT_PATH` to verify an operator-local manifest.
-- `npm run verify:package`: pack and test the CLI, setup transaction, skill, and canonical target-free MCP catalog in an isolated environment.
-- `npm run docs:generate`: generate API documentation from JSDoc comments into `docs/api/` using TypeDoc.
-- `npm run docs:check`: verify generated package metadata, the canonical product catalog, caller-visible documentation facts, TypeDoc output, and the error JSON schema without rewriting them.
-- `npm run config:print -- /path/to/binary`: print an MCP server config with absolute paths.
-- `HOPPER_TARGET_PATH=/path/to/binary npm start`: launch Hopper and run the built stdio MCP server.
+When fixing a bug, inspect the producing boundary and affected consumers for duplicated interpretation or unclear ownership. Complete any directly related refactor in the same change and remove superseded code. Passing regression tests alone does not establish that the brittleness is resolved. If related cleanup remains, explain what remains and why.
 
-Pre-commit hooks via Husky run `oxlint` on staged files before every commit. Use `npm run lint:fix` to auto-correct violations locally.
+When addressing a review thread, inspect the producing boundary and affected consumers for brittleness. Complete directly related refactoring in the same change. Before resolving the thread, explain the root cause, structural fix, validation, and any remaining cleanup.
 
-## Configuration & Environment Variables
+Parse unknown boundary values and model expected failures with the tagged error algebra and `Result`. Preserve partial facts and meaningful failure reasons. Keep identity and lookup values separate from display formatting; preserve source values and explicit unknowns when normalization loses information. Absolute paths, file URLs, and HTTP paths have different semantics.
 
-- `REA_ANALYSIS_PROVIDER` (optional, default `auto`): require one deep-analysis provider ID for startup and one-shot commands, or use deterministic automatic selection. A request-level `provider_id`/`--provider` takes precedence.
-- `GHIDRA_INSTALL_DIR` (optional): absolute root of an extracted official Ghidra 12.1.2 distribution. The adapter supports Linux x64 and the experimental Windows x64 P0 boundary documented in `docs/windows-ghidra-p0.md`.
-- `JAVA_HOME` (optional): absolute 64-bit full JDK 21 root used by Ghidra. When absent, doctor probes `java`/`javac` from `PATH`.
-- `REA_ILSPY_CMD_PATH` (optional): absolute path to a bring-your-own `ilspycmd`; doctor reports its configured version, and `verify:managed` can use it as a real reconstruction oracle without making ILSpy a setup-installed dependency or canonical parser.
-- `HOPPER_TARGET_PATH` (optional): absolute initial binary or `.hop` target. Target-free MCP sessions use `open_binary` instead.
-- `HOPPER_LAUNCHER_PATH` (optional): override the Hopper executable path (defaults to `/Applications/Hopper Disassembler.app/Contents/MacOS/hopper`).
-- `HOPPER_TARGET_KIND` (optional, default `executable`): startup kind for `HOPPER_TARGET_PATH`; dynamic targets are classified from their paths and headers.
-- `HOPPER_LOADER_ARGS_JSON` (optional): JSON array overriding derived Hopper loader arguments for supported executable targets, e.g. `["-l","Mach-O","--aarch64"]`.
-- `REA_BROWSER_OBSERVE_ENABLED` (optional, default `false`): add browser observation authority to the administrator ceiling.
-- `REA_BROWSER_CDP_ENDPOINTS_JSON` (optional): approved literal loopback CDP HTTP endpoints.
-- `REA_BROWSER_ALLOWED_ORIGINS_JSON` (optional): exact HTTP(S) page origins approved for passive observation.
-- `REA_ELECTRON_OBSERVE_ENABLED` (optional, default `false`): add passive Electron file-page observation authority to the administrator ceiling.
-- `REA_ELECTRON_CDP_ENDPOINTS_JSON` (optional): approved literal loopback Electron CDP HTTP endpoints.
-- `REA_ELECTRON_FILE_ROOTS_JSON` (optional): canonical filesystem roots approved for passive Electron page observation.
-- `REA_INVESTIGATION_INPUT_ROOTS_JSON` (optional): canonical filesystem roots approved for static JavaScript/Electron application analysis and other investigation inputs.
-- `REA_JAVASCRIPT_REPLAY_ENABLED` (optional, default `false`): add controlled extracted-module execution authority to the administrator ceiling.
-- `REA_JAVASCRIPT_REPLAY_ROOTS_JSON` (optional): exact canonical source roots approved for controlled replay.
-- `REA_JAVASCRIPT_REPLAY_NODE_PATH`, `REA_JAVASCRIPT_REPLAY_BWRAP_PATH`, `REA_JAVASCRIPT_REPLAY_SYSTEMD_RUN_PATH`, `REA_JAVASCRIPT_REPLAY_SYSTEMCTL_PATH`, and `REA_JAVASCRIPT_REPLAY_SHELL_PATH` (optional): absolute paths committed by each replay plan; defaults target the current Node runtime and standard Linux system executables.
+Validate advertised JSON Schemas after SDK conversion against their declared dialect and actual clients. Bind handlers to named contracts with exact types; catalog ordering must never select an operation or schema.
 
-## Coding Style & Naming Conventions
+## Performance
 
-Use ESM TypeScript, two-space indentation, and Prettier defaults. Keep compiler strictness intact (`strict`, `exactOptionalPropertyTypes`, `noUncheckedIndexedAccess`, `verbatimModuleSyntax`). Use `camelCase` for values/functions, `PascalCase` for classes/types, and `UPPER_SNAKE_CASE` for constants. Parse unknown values at every MCP, environment, and subprocess boundary. Avoid `any`, unchecked casts, non-null assertions, import-time I/O, and floating promises. Exported APIs require concise JSDoc. Model expected failures with the tagged error algebra and `Result`, not broad exception wrappers.
+Design analysis workflows and agent interfaces for efficiency from the first
+implementation. Correctness, useful answers, Evidence provenance, caller choices,
+compatibility and safe resource bounds remain required.
 
-## Testing Guidelines
+Optimize in this order:
 
-Name tests `*.test.ts`. Use Vitest and production seams (`tests/fixtures/`) rather than module mocks. Domain tests assert pure behavior; adapter tests use fake launcher/socket seams; MCP tests connect with the client SDK version pinned in `package.json`. Preserve the canonical tool inventory defined by `TOOL_CONTRACTS` and verified through `CATALOG_IDENTITY` and generated product metadata. Cover malformed input, cancellation, timeouts, process exit, concurrency, limits, and clean shutdown. Real Hopper, Ghidra, browser, JavaScript replay, managed conformance, and any real managed-tool claims cannot be replaced by mocks; use the corresponding `verify:*` command.
+1. Agent tokens and context. Return the smallest sufficient answer with
+   necessary provenance, coverage and limitations. Use task selection,
+   summaries, paging and retained Evidence where supported; honor requested
+   detail and keep complete Evidence accessible. Count the whole task,
+   including schemas, extra calls and retries.
+2. Analysis time. Reuse validated results and shared work. Cache keys must
+   cover result-affecting inputs; define invalidation and lifetime. Validate
+   freshness before reporting cached live state as current.
+3. CPU and memory. Avoid unnecessary work and copies; bound concurrency,
+   retained state and serialization growth.
 
-MCP tools are agent-computer interfaces. Optimize them first for successful agent use: distinct purposes, clear names and parameters, relevant result context, actionable errors, and realistic multi-step workflows. Validate tool-design changes with representative agent tasks and transcripts when possible; schema validity and transport success alone do not prove that a tool is easy for an agent to use.
+For changes affecting these costs, measure representative completed tasks and
+compare equivalent workflows before and after where available. Report token
+usage, elapsed time, CPU time and peak process-family memory. Separate cold
+and warm runs, label estimates, and state unmeasured costs. Fewer bytes alone
+do not establish fewer tokens or faster analysis.
 
-MCP tool catalogs must remain complete and self-describing. Prefer capability- and session-scoped tool advertisement over schema truncation. Never use serialized byte counts as a proxy for model-context cost, token use, tool usability, or agent performance. Measure bytes only when evaluating a named transport, storage, or protocol constraint. Any model-context or token-efficiency claim must identify the client and its actual model-facing projection and tokenizer, since clients may omit, transform, dereference, or otherwise reproject MCP schemas. Do not weaken names, descriptions, schemas, examples, errors, or result context to improve a byte-based metric.
+## Development
 
-## Commit & Pull Request Guidelines
+Use [.nvmrc](.nvmrc) and `package.json#packageManager` for the pinned toolchain. Cursor Cloud may place older Node.js first on `PATH`; environment setup installs the pinned toolchain under `/usr/local/bin`.
 
-Use Conventional Commit subjects because Release Please derives versions and changelogs from them. Examples: `feat: add historical source import`, `fix(process): stop timers after exit`, and `docs: update architecture`. Use `!` or a `BREAKING CHANGE:` footer for breaking changes. Pull request titles must follow the same format because squash merges use the title as the release commit. Pull requests should describe contract or behavior changes, list verification commands, link issues, and include sanitized MCP examples when schemas change. State whether real Hopper/Ghidra verification was performed. Never commit binaries, Hopper or Ghidra project documents, credentials, `dist/`, `node_modules/`, or local planning artifacts (e.g. `.codex/`).
+- `npm ci`: install locked dependencies.
+- `npm run build:cached`: build the runtime and packaged skill.
+- `npm run test:local -- PATH...`: source tests without building.
+- `npm run test:focused -- PATH...`: exact tests with their required artifacts.
+- `npm run check:fast`: cached typecheck/lint and the pre-push check.
+- `npm run docs:check`: validate generated documentation.
+
+Use relevant checks for the change. The complete local gate, `npm run check:pr`, is optional for broad changes or CI diagnosis. See [CONTRIBUTING.md](CONTRIBUTING.md) for development, generated-file ownership, and release conventions.
+
+`docs/public/product-catalog.json`, `docs/verification/managed-conformance-*.json`, and `skills/` are ignored outputs. Edit source contracts and `.agents/skills/reverse-engineer-anything/`, then regenerate as needed. `.cache/mcp-tool-catalog.json` is test metadata; runtime builds and source checking do not consume it. Never commit binaries, provider project documents, credentials, `dist/`, `node_modules/`, or local planning artifacts.
+
+## Tool and Test Changes
+
+For tool design, follow [docs/tool-design.md](docs/tool-design.md): start from the analyst question, reuse existing contracts, preserve caller choices, and return useful evidence inline. Limits must follow real format, protocol, authority, or resource constraints. Account for representation expansion before allocation; derive completeness from examined coverage.
+
+For test changes or provider claims, use [docs/testing.md](docs/testing.md). Prefer real public CLI/MCP workflows, then production-boundary integration, then producer goldens. Keep module tests for distinct semantics stronger workflows cannot reliably reproduce. Preserve malformed-input, cancellation, cleanup, permission, capacity, and target-identity coverage when pruning. Report unverified coverage explicitly; simulated providers do not establish real-provider behavior.
+
+Use Conventional Commit subjects and PR titles. Mark breaking changes with `!` or a `BREAKING CHANGE:` footer. Describe behavior changes, relevant validation, and real-provider verification scope.

+# This is NOT the Turborepo you know
+
+Turborepo configuration, task behavior, and CLI commands can vary between installed versions and may differ from your training data. Resolve the `turbo` package from this file's directory or relevant workspace; in monorepos, it may not be visible from the repository root. For example, run `node -p "require.resolve('turbo/package.json')"` from a workspace that depends on `turbo`.
+
+Read `docs/README.md` inside that installed package first, then read the relevant pages from its `docs/` directory before changing Turborepo configuration or commands. Heed deprecation notices. These bundled docs match the installed package version and are available without network access.
+
+This block is written and re-added by `turbo` before repository-scoped commands when an AI agent is detected. In the Turborepo source repository, its template is defined in `crates/turborepo-cli/src/cli/agent_guidance.rs`. Removing the managed block while updates are enabled means a later qualifying invocation will add it again. Set `"agentGuidance": false` in the root `turbo.json` or `turbo.jsonc` to opt out; this does not remove an existing block. Keep the block committed with your work to avoid an uncommitted change on the next agent invocation.

 # Contributing to REA
 
-REA welcomes focused bug fixes, documentation improvements, tests, and reverse-engineering workflow enhancements. Open an issue before a large contract or architecture change so its scope can be agreed before implementation.
+REA welcomes focused bug fixes, documentation improvements, tests, and reverse-engineering workflows. For large contract or architecture changes, explain the intended scope and link the relevant issue or design discussion.
+
+## Choosing a contribution
+
+Explain the concrete problem, keep related corrections together, and report
+verification and unavailable coverage. Contributions should justify their review
+and maintenance cost. Keep cosmetic polish with useful fixes; confusing or
+incorrect user instructions warrant standalone corrections. Collect other
+cosmetic-only suggestions in an issue rather than separate PRs.
+
+For capability organization and provider composition, use the
+[architecture map](docs/architecture.mermaid). Production factories in
+`src/composition/` construct fresh providers without starting engines or acquiring
+targets; optional adapter failures must preserve successful peers. Run
+`npm run verify:test-discovery` after adding or moving tests. Resolved import
+boundaries are checked by `npm run verify:module-boundaries`, included in lint.
+
+For analysis workflows and agent interfaces, follow the
+[performance priorities](AGENTS.md#performance). Explain the selected output
+scope, reuse/cache decisions, and relevant before/after measurements when these
+costs change.
+
+When adding or changing an MCP tool, follow the [tool design guide](docs/tool-design.md) and preserve the canonical contracts and generated catalog.
+
+## Contribution scope
+
+REA focuses on software structure, runtime behavior, and evidence through
+general-purpose reverse-engineering workflows. Evaluate a proposal by its actual
+capabilities, side effects, defaults, and complete workflow. A tool name or a
+reference to vulnerability research, malware analysis, or CTFs does not determine
+whether it belongs in REA.
+
+Supported contributions include format inspection, ordinary archive and standard
+compression extraction, disassembly, decompilation, cross-references, general
+static deobfuscation, vulnerability analysis, and evidence reporting. Static
+protection detection is distinct from defeating that protection. Security fixes
+and isolated regression tests remain in scope.
+
+Runtime investigation needs explicit boundaries. Launching or attaching to a
+process, injecting instrumentation, running scripts, and changing memory or
+registers require review of target selection, execution and mutation authority,
+provenance, resource limits, cancellation, and cleanup. General Frida or debugger
+support is not inherently read-only, and existing support does not authorize
+every workflow built on it. General-purpose interfaces are not classified as
+dedicated bypass workflows solely because caller-provided code could be misused;
+their execution and mutation authority must still be reviewed.
+
+REA does not integrate or officially distribute:
+
+- Purpose-built workflows to defeat commercial packing or code-virtualization
+  protections and automatically recover protected code.
+- Anti-debugging or anti-instrumentation evasion, or DRM, license, anti-cheat, or
+  access-control bypass workflows.
+- Exploit or attack-payload automation, credential theft, covert persistence,
+  unauthorized access, or bulk attack workflows.
+
+These boundaries apply to first-party providers, adapters, plugins, bundled
+scripts, defaults, examples, and documentation. Moving a capability into an
+optional dependency or plugin does not exempt it. Review what the integration
+exposes, including upstream defaults and raw-command or script execution paths.
+Ordinary extraction and general static deobfuscation are not excluded merely
+because the input is packed or obfuscated; assess added bypass or execution
+behavior separately.
+
+This is a product and maintenance boundary, not a judgment about a contributor's
+intentions or a declaration that all excluded research is unlawful. Contributors
+must have the rights and authorization needed for their work. A local-only design
+or an "authorized use only" disclaimer does not establish containment or settle
+legal and scope questions.
+
+### Fail-closed integration
+
+If scope fit, target or authorization boundaries, side effects, or the verification
+needed to establish those boundaries remain materially unresolved, **do not merge,
+enable, or include the capability in official packages or distributions**. Keep
+the proposal pending, narrow it, or decline it. Record unknowns explicitly; do not
+turn them into "none" or assumed safety. Passing CI, completed implementation,
+upstream popularity, or silence from maintainers is not scope approval.
+
+For a new provider or a capability involving target execution, injection,
+mutation, or protection recovery, seek an explicit maintainer scope decision in
+the linked issue or design discussion before substantial implementation intended
+for integration. Small exploratory prototypes and draft PRs may help inform that
+decision; they do not authorize integration. The decision must cover the final
+proposed behavior; a scope expansion needs a new decision. Routine fixes and
+documentation changes within existing boundaries do not need a separate advance
+decision, but must not silently expand those boundaries.
+
+### Starting a proposal
+
+To open a feature request or design discussion, describe the problem and desired
+outcome or decision. Short answers and the forms' "Not sure yet" options are
+welcome. You do not need code, a complete design or test plan, legal analysis, or
+private proof-of-authorization documents to start a discussion. Share what you
+know and leave optional details blank when you need help.
+
+Form selections guide triage; they are not proof of authorization or scope
+approval. Unselected effects must not be treated as established absence.
+Maintainers and implementers work together to resolve the following before
+integration:
+
+- The concrete analyst question, requested inputs and outputs, and why existing
+  REA operations are insufficient.
+- Why the workflow fits this scope, its non-goals, and any protection recovery,
+  bypass, or attack automation it would expose.
+- The selected targets and every execution, injection, mutation, network, or
+  persistence effect, including behavior inherited from upstream tools.
+- How the boundaries and outcome will be verified with self-owned or appropriately
+  licensed samples; identify real CLI/MCP and provider coverage, cleanup and
+  resource checks, and remaining unknowns. Do not publish private binaries,
+  credentials, or sensitive target data; follow [SECURITY.md](SECURITY.md) for
+  private vulnerability reports.
+
+Mixed proposals should separate acceptable analysis capabilities from excluded
+workflows so each can be decided independently. An issue may discuss unresolved
+questions; opening an issue or PR does not authorize integration. This is a
+maintainer integration gate, not a per-call confirmation requirement or a sandbox
+guarantee.
 
 ## Development setup
 
-REA development requires Node.js 24.18.x and npm 11.16.x. Real-Hopper verification additionally requires either macOS 12+ or an officially supported Linux host (Ubuntu 24.04+, Fedora 41+, or 64-bit Arch) and an installed Hopper application. Linux demo verification uses its own private Xvfb display and does not require a desktop session. Run `nvm use` before installing dependencies.
+Use the development toolchain pinned in `.nvmrc` and
+`package.json#packageManager`. Run `nvm use` before installing dependencies;
+installed-package runtime support is documented in
+[installation](docs/installation.md#start-setup).
 
 ```bash
 npm ci
-npm test
+npm run check:fast
 ```
 
-`npm ci` installs the exact dependencies, builds the compiled runtime through
-the package `prepare` lifecycle, and prepares the Husky hook. Run
-`npm run build` again after source changes when you need the standalone CLI or
-MCP server without running the test prebuild.
+`npm ci` installs the exact dependencies and prepares the Husky hooks without
+building the project. Run `npm run build:cached` when you need the standalone
+CLI or MCP server; it compiles the runtime and bundles the authored skill.
+`npm run build` forces those tasks to rerun. Neither command generates test
+catalogs, documentation projections, or managed verification evidence. Turbo
+caches deterministic builds and static checks across Git worktrees. After a package, lockfile, or managed-skill version change, run
+`npm run metadata:generate` before building.
 
-Keep dependencies flowing inward through the existing domain, contracts, provider, application, server, and adapter layers. Parse unknown values at process and protocol boundaries, model expected failures with `Result`, and preserve the canonical tool inventory defined by `TOOL_CONTRACTS` unless a deliberate contract change updates every verifier, generated catalog artifact, and snapshot. Prefer capability- and session-scoped tool advertisement over schema truncation.
+Repository invariants live in [AGENTS.md](AGENTS.md). Keep provider-specific
+protocols in adapters and shared CLI/MCP workflows in the application layer.
 
-Before submitting a pull request, run:
+### Windows source checkouts
+
+The published npm package includes the Windows x64 native addon and its
+manifest. A source checkout does not: `native/windows/build/` is ignored by
+Git, and neither `npm ci` nor `npm run build:cached` (or `npm run build`)
+produces `rea-windows-x64.node` or `manifest.json` in that directory.
+Windows workflows and tests that require native controls need these artifacts;
+without them, those controls are unavailable even after a successful runtime build.
+
+Follow the [Windows native build guide](native/windows/README.md#build) before
+running those workflows from source. The artifact build requires Linux,
+MinGW-w64, and `tar`; the build script does not run on Windows. See that guide
+for the build and artifact-verification commands and the separate real Windows
+verification prerequisites. Keep the generated addon and manifest uncommitted.
+
+## Documentation website
+
+The VitePress site uses the Markdown files in `docs/`. Run `npm run docs:dev`
+for live editing, `npm run docs:build` to check the production build and
+links, and `npm run docs:preview` to preview that build at `/rea/`.
+
+Site navigation lives in `docs/.vitepress/config.ts`. Keep links to guides
+relative so they work on GitHub and the website; link to repository files
+outside `docs/` using their full GitHub URLs. Generated reference documents
+use `npm run docs:generate`; `docs:build` generates them before building the website.
+
+Pull requests run `npm run docs:check`. `.github/workflows/pages.yml` is a
+manual VitePress build and does not publish. The public site at
+<https://rea.tools/> serves `website/public/` through Cloudflare Workers. See
+the [website README](website/README.md#cloudflare-workers) for previews and
+manual deployments.
+
+The separate GitHub Pages host uses only the manual
+`.github/workflows/website-pages.yml` workflow on `main`. The repository's
+**Settings → Pages → Build and deployment → Source** must be set to
+**GitHub Actions** before deploying there.
+
+## Development feedback and PR verification
+
+For routine merges, wait for the required checks to pass for the current PR
+revision. Administrators retain an override for deliberate maintainer recovery.
+If `main` is broken, prioritize a focused repair before updating affected PRs.
+
+Select checks for the behavior changed. For a source edit:
 
 ```bash
-npm run check
-npm run verify:package
-npm pack --dry-run
+npm run test:focused -- src/config.test.ts
+npm run check:fast
 ```
 
-`npm install` builds the compiled runtime and prepares the Husky pre-commit
-hook. Commits format and lint staged files with lint-staged, then typecheck the
-complete project. The normal test and CI coverage runs enforce the thresholds
-in `vitest.config.ts`; `npm run lint:dead` rejects unused files, exports, and
-dependencies.
+`test:local` runs source tests without building. `check:changed` combines cached
+static checks with source tests affected since the merge base with `origin/main`.
+Import-graph selection can miss runtime registration, bridges, and generated data;
+select relevant boundary tests explicitly. See [testing](docs/testing.md#developer-commands)
+for commands, test placement, pruning, and real-provider prerequisites.
 
-Set `REA_LOG_LEVEL` to `trace`, `debug`, `info`, `warn`, `error`, `fatal`, or
-`silent` to control structured JSON diagnostics. MCP mode defaults to `info` and
-always writes logs to stderr so the stdio protocol remains intact. One-shot CLI
-logging is opt-in and writes to stdout when a level is configured, preserving
-machine-readable command output by default. Request arguments, bridge
-authentication tokens, and environment data are redacted.
+Before requesting review, run relevant tests and `npm run check`; add
+`npm run docs:check` when contracts or generated metadata change. Record the
+checks and unavailable coverage. CI owns the full deterministic suite and
+coverage. `npm run check:pr` is an optional full local gate for broad changes or
+CI diagnosis. Packaging/setup/distribution changes additionally require
+`npm run verify:package` and `npm pack --dry-run`; provider changes require the
+matching real-provider lane. State which host/provider workflows ran.
 
-Changes that claim real Hopper behavior must also be tested against two distinct binaries:
+For CI/test correctness, drift, or performance investigations, use the
+[`rea-ci-tests-audit` contributor skill](.agents/skills/rea-ci-tests-audit/SKILL.md).
+It guides reproduction and comparable measurements before changing checks.
 
-```bash
-HOPPER_TARGET_PATH=/path/to/target-a \
-HOPPER_SECOND_TARGET_PATH=/path/to/distinct-target-b \
-npm run verify:hopper
-```
+`check:pr` reuses build and static-check outputs while executing the test suite
+fresh, including the fast Python producer checks. `docs:check` also runs the
+onboarding example consistency suite for README-only changes.
 
-On a self-hosted Linux runner with the setup-installed Xvfb dependencies, use:
+Pre-commit formats and lints staged files; pre-push runs `check:fast`.
 
-```bash
-HOPPER_TARGET_PATH=/path/to/target-a \
-HOPPER_SECOND_TARGET_PATH=/path/to/distinct-target-b \
-npm run verify:hopper:linux
-```
+### Generated files and command ownership
 
-The macOS and Linux real-Hopper workflows remain separate so a successful mock or package test cannot be reported as platform-runtime proof. Pull requests changing setup, launch, bridge, or Hopper behavior must state which real workflows ran and why either workflow was unavailable.
+`docs:generate` prepares documentation and portable managed evidence;
+`evidence:generate` prepares only the managed commitment and its runtime/skill
+dependencies. The ignored outputs are `docs/public/product-catalog.json`,
+`docs/verification/managed-conformance-*.json`, and `skills/`. Edit authored
+skill instructions in `.agents/skills/reverse-engineer-anything/`, where Skills
+can discover the public bundle directly from a clean checkout. `verify:package`
+installs that bundle with Skills 1.7.2 using default repository-root discovery
+and checks every installed file, alongside the packaged setup checks.
+CI validates generated outputs and retains them as artifacts; do not commit
+them. Reviewed source metadata, including
+`src/generatedPackageMetadata.ts` and `docs/error-contract.schema.json`, remains
+tracked and checked for freshness.
 
-Describe the behavior change and verification performed in the pull request. Never commit binaries, Hopper documents, credentials, `dist/`, `node_modules/`, or local planning artifacts.
+The packaged skill contains instructions and inventory metadata, not runtime
+schema hashes. Its conformance commitment covers that exact bundle and portable
+verification; it does not attest optional real-provider runs. Schema-only changes
+should not alter that commitment. Doctor and `binary_session` expose runtime
+schema identity.
+
+Build/generation commands hold a SQLite transaction around the entire Turbo
+graph, including cache restoration. `.cache/rea-command-locks/` databases identify
+locks, not stale files; never remove them while commands run. POSIX cancellation
+retains process-group ownership until settlement; Windows waits for completion.
+Real-provider execution is uncached.
+
+### Temporary files and diagnostics
+
+Tests use `createTestTempDirectory` from `tests/fixtures/temporaryDirectory.ts`
+for exact-path, awaited cleanup, including failures and timeouts.
+`npm run verify:test-temp-hygiene` runs the suite under a fresh `TMPDIR` and
+rejects remaining REA-owned paths. Never glob-clean shared `/tmp/rea-*` content.
+
+`REA_LOG_LEVEL` selects `trace`, `debug`, `info`, `warn`, `error`, `fatal`, or
+`silent`. Logs go to stderr: MCP defaults to `info`, and one-shot CLI logging
+is opt-in, so stdout carries only protocol messages and command results.
+Request arguments, bridge tokens, and environment data are redacted from
+diagnostic logs.
+
+## Real Hopper changes
+
+Run `npm run verify:hopper` on a supported macOS host or
+`npm run verify:hopper:linux` on the supported Linux demo runner. These build
+native fixtures and verify the installed engine through CLI/MCP; package or
+simulated-provider checks do not establish engine behavior. See
+[real-toolchain verification](docs/testing.md#end-to-end-integration-and-golden-evidence)
+for prerequisites and scope, and [Hopper setup](docs/installation.md#hopper)
+for supported hosts and unattended startup.
+
+Use the default `build/conformance/manifest.json` unless explicitly verifying
+another source-built manifest with `REA_HOPPER_CONFORMANCE_MANIFEST_PATH`.
+Generated fixtures and manifests remain ignored.
 
 ## Maintainer release checklist
 
-Run the full checks, isolated package verifier, package dry run, and two-target real-Hopper verifier described above. Build a local tarball and exercise the executable through the package boundary:
+Use the [release guide](docs/releasing.md). Main pushes automatically refresh a
+Release Please PR with the next version and changelog. Review its migration
+notes, wait for the current CI checks to pass, and merge it into main to publish.
 
-```bash
-npm pack
-npm exec --yes --package ./morluto-rea-0.1.0.tgz -- rea --help
-```
+The Release workflow validates and tags that merge; both publishers build its
+exact SHA. Ordinary main pushes cannot publish packages. An optional manual
+`release/VERSION` checkpoint retains explicit preparation and publication.
 
-Publish the public package:
+For grouped release notes with verified contributor thanks, use the repository's
+`rea-changelog-update` skill in `.agents/skills/rea-changelog-update/`. Its inventory,
+credit checks, and finalization process are described in the release guide.
 
-```bash
-npm publish --access public
-```
-
-After npm registry propagation, verify the published CLI and connect the client SDK version pinned in `package.json` to the published server to confirm the canonical tool catalog:
-
-```bash
-npx -y rea-agents@latest --help
-npx -y rea-agents@latest doctor
-npx -y rea-agents@latest setup --yes
-npx -y rea-agents@latest mcp
-```
+Keep new implementation commits on main for the next release. The workflow
+owns packaged-artifact verification, npm publication, the published CLI/MCP
+canary, and MCP Registry publication. Sync manual checkpoint metadata back to
+main after publication; see the guide for recovery and verification.

+## Analysis results and generated output
+
+Decompilation, reconstruction, heuristics, and AI-assisted analysis may be
+incomplete or incorrect. Results do not guarantee accuracy, completeness,
+security, compatibility, or legal compliance. Review the underlying evidence and

-
-See a feature in an app that you want in your own product? Give the app to your agent—even without its source code. With REA, the agent can investigate the feature, explain how it works, show its evidence, and build a version adapted to your stack and requirements.
-
-REA gives agents one consistent way to investigate software. Today that includes deep native analysis and function dossiers through Hopper or bring-your-own Ghidra on Linux, plus an experimental Windows x64 Ghidra P0 for approved native PE applications; execution-free managed PE/CLI triage; reproducible Evidence v2 records; controlled process capture; passive website and Electron observation; bounded JavaScript/source-map reconstruction; and a versioned domain graph for connecting JavaScript application layers without confusing static inference with runtime observation. The longer-term toolkit extends the same agent workflow to APIs, protocols, mobile artifacts, firmware, richer runtime behavior, and differences between versions.
-
-Reverse engineering normally makes the operator choose a tool, learn its API, move evidence between programs, and decide what to inspect next. REA gives that work to the agent through commands, skills, structured results, and repeatable investigation workflows.
-
-## Just ask your agent
-
-Install the REA skill:
-
-```bash
-npx skills add morluto/rea
-```
-
-Then ask:
-
-```text
-Use REA to understand how search works in the Notes app, show me the
-evidence, and build a similar feature for my project.
-```
-
-Notes is only an example. Name any app you want to understand, or ask the agent to start with an overview.

-| **From insight to code** | Understand a feature, then build your own version in the same coding session.                         |
-| **Local by design**      | Analysis runs on your supported local host. REA does not upload the app to a hosted analysis service. |

+---
+
+See a feature in an app that you want in your own product? Ask your agent to investigate it with REA. It can inspect the app without its source code, explain how the feature works, show the evidence, and build a version for your project.
+
+REA connects your agent to tools for inspecting native binaries, JavaScript and Electron apps, .NET assemblies, and websites. You can also use the same tools from your terminal. Analysis runs locally, and results include the evidence and limitations behind each conclusion.
+
+Setup registers REA with your agent and installs matching workflow instructions. Native analysis can use an existing Hopper, Ghidra, or IDA installation; setup can optionally install Hopper with approval. Static JavaScript analysis needs no native analysis engine.
+
+> **[Visit the REA website](https://rea.tools/)** for setup instructions, illustrated guides, and real case studies.
 
 ## Quick start
 
-### Run setup — recommended
+On Linux, Ghidra, JADX, firmware tool launches and static JavaScript/Electron
+analysis require a procps-compatible `ps` on REA's `PATH` for process ownership
+checks. Recovery steps are in `docs/installation.md` under
+"Linux owned-process prerequisite".
+
+### Set up your agent
+
+With Node.js and npm installed, run:
 
 ```bash
 npx rea-agents setup
 ```
 
-The npm package-runner prompt, when shown, approves downloading REA for this
-invocation; it does not approve any setup changes. The REA wizard separately
-shows its complete plan and asks before applying it. Setup does not update
-Homebrew, Node.js, or npm. `npx rea-agents setup` opens with the work it
-enables: investigate local apps from an agent, recover evidence through a
-deep-analysis provider, and reuse REA's guided workflow. It summarizes the
-detected agents, then asks which independent capabilities to set up: coding-agent
-access through MCP, the shared investigation skill, and—when needed—the Hopper
-provider. Nothing is preselected. Choosing MCP access opens a second empty
-checklist for the specific detected agents that should receive a registration.
+Choose your agents, review the proposed changes, and approve them. Setup adds
+REA's MCP server and matching workflow instructions, with backups of existing
+configuration. Restart your agent afterward.
 
-REA keeps the journey inline so its history remains in the terminal. Selecting
-a capability does not select every detected target or authorize a change.
-Before anything changes, REA validates existing configuration, prints exact
-paths and external effects, and asks for final approval with **No** as the
-default. The screen keeps the available keys visible while you choose; Ctrl-C
-and declining leave the system unchanged.
+Setup supports Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Gemini CLI, Grok Build and
+[other agents](docs/installation.md#supported-agents). See
+[installation and setup](docs/installation.md) for provider configuration and
+manual MCP registration.
 
-REA detects Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor, Gemini CLI, Windsurf, and Devin. It configures the first six when detected; Devin is reported but left unchanged because it has no documented local MCP configuration boundary. Registrations are additive, backup-first, and read back after writing. You can safely rerun setup.
-
-Use `rea setup --dry-run` to inspect the plan, repeat `--client` to select exact
-agents, and `--accessible` for sequential vertical prompts. Machine output
-remains available through `--json`; prompt UI and progress go to stderr.
-
-After a successful setup, REA reports the capabilities now ready to use and a
-concrete next step, such as restarting a configured agent before asking it to
-investigate an application. It does not claim an integration or provider is
-ready unless setup and its final diagnostic check verified it.
-
-An optional curl wrapper installs the same CLI package and starts setup only when a terminal is available:
-
-```bash
-curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/morluto/rea/main/install.sh | bash
-```
-
-Pass installer options after `bash -s --`, for example `--dry-run`, `--no-setup`, or `--version 1.0.0`. The curl wrapper never installs prerequisites or configures integrations itself. See [Installation and setup](docs/installation.md) for its exact mutation boundary.
-
-### With an agent — recommended
-
-```bash
-npx skills add morluto/rea
-```
-
-Ask your agent to set up REA. It will check your supported host, explain anything it needs to install, ask for approval, and guide you through system prompts. After setup, restart the agent if it asks you to load the full REA toolset.
-
-Review the setup plan, approve it if appropriate, then describe the app or feature you want to understand. Hopper can run in its free demo mode; if it shows a first-run prompt, choose the demo or enter an existing license.
-
-### From Terminal — no installation
-
-```bash
-npx rea-agents setup
-npx -y rea-agents@latest doctor
-npx -y rea-agents@latest analyze /Applications/Notes.app
-```
-
-Review the setup plan before confirming it. Restart a configured agent so it loads REA.
-
-### From Terminal — install the `rea` command
-
-```bash
-npm install --global rea-agents
-rea setup
-rea doctor
-rea analyze /Applications/Notes.app
-```
-
-Update that global installation in place:
-
-```bash
-rea upgrade
-```
-
-REA checks npm for the latest release and verifies that the running package is
-the global installation it will replace. Source, local, and `npx` copies report
-the manual `npm install --global rea-agents@latest` command instead of updating
-an unrelated global package.
-
-Choose either the no-install commands or the global installation. You do not need both.
-
-`npm install rea-agents` without `--global` installs `rea` only into the
-current project's `node_modules/.bin`; it does not add `rea` to your shell
-`PATH`. Use the `npx` commands above for one-off runs or `--global` when you
-want a shell-visible `rea` command.
-
-### Requirements
-
-- macOS 12 or newer
-- Ubuntu 24.04+, Fedora 41+, or 64-bit Arch Linux
-- Windows x64 for the experimental, Ghidra-only native PE P0 boundary
-- Node.js 22.19+ or 24.11+ (including newer releases)
-- npm; REA does not require or install a particular npm version
-
-Deep binary operations use [Hopper](https://www.hopperapp.com/), a separate desktop application with its own license, or a caller-selected Ghidra provider. Ghidra supplies read-only inventory, function metadata, decompilation, assembly, resolved calls, typed references, xrefs, CFG, and function dossiers; GUI state and mutations remain unavailable through that provider. Setup reuses an existing Hopper installation or an operator-supplied Ghidra installation. It never downloads Ghidra or installs Java. If neither provider is ready, interactive setup proposes Hopper; unattended Hopper installation requires `rea setup --yes --install-hopper`.
-
-If something is not working, run:
-
-```bash
-npx -y rea-agents@latest doctor
-```
-
-`rea doctor --json` is read-only and distinguishes unsupported hosts, missing dependencies, a missing local analysis engine, configuration drift, and healthy checks. Paid-license activation is optional: on Linux, REA runs the supported Hopper demo build on a private Xvfb display and selects Hopper's offered demo mode for each analysis session.
-
-### Linux installation and troubleshooting
-
-On macOS, approved setup downloads Hopper's official DMG, verifies it, and installs the app into `~/Applications` without Homebrew or administrator privileges. Hopper may show its demo or license prompt when first opened; no manual drag-and-drop is required.
-
-On Ubuntu 24.04+, Fedora 41+, and 64-bit Arch Linux, approved setup downloads the pinned official Hopper 6.4.2 package, restricts downloads to Hopper's public origin, verifies the published size and checksum, and invokes `apt-get`, `dnf`, or `pacman` to install Hopper and the Xvfb, Python, X11, and XTEST packages used by demo sessions. When REA is not already running as root, `pkexec` presents the system authorization prompt. REA never invokes `sudo`. Demo sessions run on an isolated 1280×1024 Xvfb display. REA verifies the exact supported Hopper binary, its owned process ancestry, the expected dialog geometry, and bridge state before selecting `Try the Demo`; any mismatch fails closed.
-
-The normal Linux launcher is `/opt/hopper/bin/Hopper`. If Hopper was installed elsewhere:
-
-```bash
-export HOPPER_LAUNCHER_PATH=/absolute/path/to/Hopper
-rea doctor --json
-```
-
-If doctor reports a missing analysis engine even though the file exists, inspect shared-library resolution with:
-
-```bash
-ldd /opt/hopper/bin/Hopper | grep 'not found'
-```
-
-Install the missing distribution packages and rerun `rea setup`. Linux demo automation requires `Xvfb`, Python 3, `libX11.so.6`, and `libXtst.so.6`; approved setup installs those direct runtime dependencies and does not interact with the user's desktop display. Hopper's free demo supports analysis with vendor-defined limits, and a paid license is optional. The curl installer places the `rea` command in `~/.local/bin` on Linux; add that directory to future shell `PATH` values if it is not already present.
-
-REA defaults `HOPPER_LAUNCHER_PATH` to `/Applications/Hopper Disassembler.app/Contents/MacOS/hopper` on macOS and `/opt/hopper/bin/Hopper` on Linux. Explicit configuration always takes precedence.
-
-### Ghidra read-only analysis provider
-
-The Ghidra adapter supports the exact official Ghidra 12.1.2 release with a 64-bit full JDK 21 on Linux x64. It also provides an experimental Windows x64 P0 limited to approved native x86-64 PE applications. Download and extract those projects yourself, then configure absolute paths:
-
-```bash
-export GHIDRA_INSTALL_DIR=/absolute/path/to/ghidra_12.1.2_PUBLIC
-export JAVA_HOME=/absolute/path/to/jdk-21 # optional when java and javac resolve from PATH
-rea doctor --json
-rea setup
-rea providers --json
-```
-
-Doctor distinguishes missing configuration, a bad installation root, the wrong Ghidra or Java version, a JRE without `javac`, a missing `support/analyzeHeadless`, and an unsupported platform or architecture. Approved setup only copies the verified non-secret paths into detected MCP registrations; it does not modify the Ghidra installation or install/download Ghidra or Java.
-
-On Windows, set the same variables in PowerShell and run `rea doctor --json`; automated `rea setup` and Hopper installation remain unavailable. The P0 target boundary rejects DLLs, managed PE files, non-x86-64 images, mutable/hostile inputs, and non-PE formats. See the [Windows Ghidra P0 operations guide](docs/windows-ghidra-p0.md) for registration, exact limitations, CI evidence, and acceptance gates.
-
-REA loads its packaged Java `HeadlessScript` with `-scriptPath`, copies and digest-verifies the target in an ephemeral runtime, enables `-readOnly` and `-deleteProject`, caps auto-analysis at 300 seconds with two CPUs and a 2 GiB Java heap, and authenticates every request. Linux uses a mode-0600 Unix socket. Windows P0 uses token-authenticated IPv4 loopback and a token-free endpoint record because Node path-based IPC does not connect to Java AF_UNIX sockets on Windows. The bridge verifies Ghidra's imported-byte SHA-256 before serving any operation.
-
-The Ghidra adapter declares 18 direct and enhanced operations. Its ten inventory operations are `list_documents`, `list_procedures`, `list_strings`, `list_names`, `list_segments`, `address_name`, `procedure_address`, `resolve_containing_procedure`, `search_procedures`, and `search_strings`. It also admits `procedure_info`, `procedure_pseudo_code`, `procedure_assembly`, `procedure_callers`, `procedure_callees`, `procedure_references`, `xrefs`, and `analyze_function`. These capabilities enable the shared Swift/Objective-C inventory workflows, `binary_overview`, `batch_decompile`, `get_call_graph`, `find_xrefs_to_name`, `trace_feature`, and complete function dossiers. Default-space addresses are lowercase `0x` hexadecimal. Other spaces, including `EXTERNAL`, use `<percent-encoded-space>:0x<hex>`. Symbol results identify primary, dynamic, external, type, and source facts; procedures distinguish external functions and thunks; strings identify charset, missing-terminator state, byte length, and value truncation; memory-block ends are exclusive and permissions come directly from Ghidra.
-
-The bridge serves operations only after auto-analysis completes. Each Program owns one persistent `DecompInterface`; a bounded 32-request FIFO serializes Ghidra API access, and every decompile has a 30-second native deadline. Reference results preserve Ghidra's call/jump/data/read/write/indirect/computed/external facts, while unresolved targetless flows remain explicitly unknown. Synthetic entry-point references without actionable memory sources are omitted. Pseudocode and assembly are provider-specific observations, not original source or Hopper-equivalent text. An analysis timeout, scan or inventory safety limit, request timeout, or oversized response fails explicitly instead of returning a partial result labeled complete.
-
-`npm run verify:ghidra` compiles source-owned x86-64 debug and stripped ELF, AArch64 ELF, x86-64 PE, and x86-64 Mach-O fixtures. Against real Ghidra 12.1.2 it validates every admitted operation, direct and indirect calls, imports/exports/thunks, typed references, strings/xrefs, multi-block CFG, cancellation, deadlines, concurrency, malformed inputs, and complete process/project cleanup. Set `REA_CC`, `REA_CLANG`, or `REA_LLD_LINK` only when the corresponding compiler command is not on `PATH`.
-
-`npm run verify:ghidra:windows` uses a deterministic source-owned native x86-64 PE application and requires all 18 operations, target/snapshot/import digest linkage, authenticated loopback transport, and cleanup on a controlled Windows x64 Ghidra 12.1.2 runner. This proof does not establish Job Object ownership, private DACLs, or reparse-point-safe authority.
-
-To remove only REA-owned MCP registrations and the managed skill:
-
-```bash
-rea uninstall
-rea uninstall --purge-data # also removes only ~/.rea/cache and ~/.rea/state
-```
-
-Uninstall preserves Hopper, Node.js, evidence, captures, external evidence roots, unrelated skills, and other MCP servers. It refuses malformed client configuration and never follows purge-data symlinks.

-### CLI or agent?

-| ---------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
-| Ask an agent to investigate an app and build a feature           | Install the skill, then talk to your agent                                |
-| Inspect or decompile one part of an app from the Terminal        | `rea analyze` or `rea decompile`                                          |
-| Validate, canonicalize, or compare Evidence v2 bundles           | `rea evidence-import`, `rea evidence-export`, or `rea compare`            |
-| Run or resume a persistent two-version artifact analysis         | `rea investigate-versions`                                                |
-| Map a local JavaScript/Electron application without executing it | `rea analyze-javascript-application`                                      |
-| Reuse immutable analysis results without relaunching a provider  | Pass `--snapshot /approved/path/analysis.json` to a deep-analysis command |
-| Import source as historical reference                            | `rea import-reference-source`                                             |
-| Capture or compare controlled process behavior                   | `rea capture-process` or `rea compare-process-captures`                   |
-
-Filesystem evidence commands and MCP file tools are disabled until the operator approves absolute roots:
-
-```bash
-export REA_EVIDENCE_ROOTS_JSON='["/absolute/path/to/evidence"]'
-export REA_INVESTIGATION_INPUT_ROOTS_JSON='["/absolute/path/to/releases"]'
-rea evidence-import /absolute/path/to/evidence/bundle.json
-rea evidence-export /absolute/path/to/evidence/bundle.json /absolute/path/to/evidence/canonical.json
-rea compare /absolute/path/to/evidence/left.json /absolute/path/to/evidence/right.json
-rea investigate-versions /absolute/path/to/releases/v1 /absolute/path/to/releases/v2 /absolute/path/to/evidence/releases.json --yes --workspace-name releases
-rea analyze-javascript-application /absolute/path/to/releases/app.asar --approved --json
-```
-
-`investigate-versions` inventories both versions, checkpoints their observed
-Evidence, derives an artifact comparison, and records a changed-behavior report.
-Both input paths must resolve beneath `REA_INVESTIGATION_INPUT_ROOTS_JSON`;
-workspace files remain independently restricted by `REA_EVIDENCE_ROOTS_JSON`.
-The workspace uses deterministic content identities and monotonic CAS-linked
-revisions, so the same request resumes an interrupted run or reuses a completed
-run without replacing earlier investigations. It currently compares static
-artifact structure only; it does not execute either version, and its report
-keeps every difference labeled as a behavior candidate. See
-[Persistent investigation workspaces](docs/investigation-workspaces.md).
-
-Historical source import requires a separate allowlist and never treats source as current behavioral authority:
-
-```bash
-export REA_REFERENCE_ROOTS_JSON='["/absolute/path/to/source"]'
-rea import-reference-source /absolute/path/to/source
-```
-
-Exports never replace an existing file unless `--overwrite` is explicit. Imports are size/depth bounded, validate every Evidence v2 ID and manifest, and never execute bundle content.
-
-Provider-neutral analysis snapshots persist successful, immutable REA calls and
-their Evidence v2 records. They are exact caches rather than Hopper databases:
-REA reuses a v2 entry only when the binary digest, kind, format, architecture,
-operation parameters, concrete provider build, and canonical analysis-profile
-digest match. Hopper loader defaults and configured overrides are normalized by
-the Hopper adapter and committed to that profile, so overrides occupy a distinct
-safe cache partition instead of disabling snapshots. Snapshot v1 cannot prove
-those semantics and is rejected with recapture guidance. Cursor-dependent and
-mutating calls are never cached. Snapshot files can contain proprietary analysis
-results and local paths, so REA keeps them local, writes them with owner-only
-permissions, and requires a separate approved root:
-
-```bash
-export REA_ANALYSIS_SNAPSHOT_ROOTS_JSON='["/absolute/path/to/analysis"]'
-rea analyze /absolute/path/to/app --snapshot /absolute/path/to/analysis/app.json
-# The same exact query can now be answered from the snapshot.
-rea analyze /absolute/path/to/app --snapshot /absolute/path/to/analysis/app.json
-```
-
-Exact CLI evidence replays happen before any provider process starts. In MCP sessions,
-pass `snapshot_path` to `open_binary` to import a snapshot atomically while
-opening its matching target; MCP providers may still start before a cached call
-is replayed. Pass `snapshot_path` and, when required, `overwrite: true` to
-`close_binary` to save atomically before Hopper resources are released. If the
-save fails, REA deliberately leaves the session open.
-
-## One prompt, a full investigation
+### Ask your agent
 
 ```text
-Reverse engineer the Notes app. Find how offline search works, explain it,
-and build a version for my project using TypeScript and SQLite.
+Understand how search works in the Notes app, show me the evidence, and build a
+similar feature for my project.
 ```
 
-REA gives the agent a clear path from that request to working code:
+Replace Notes with your target app and the feature you want to understand.
 
-| Step | What the agent does                     | REA tools                                                        |
-| ---: | --------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------- |
-|    1 | Opens and identifies the binary         | `open_binary`, `binary_overview`                                 |
-|    2 | Finds likely offline-search clues       | `search_strings`, `search_procedures`, `list_names`              |
-|    3 | Connects those clues to executable code | `find_xrefs_to_name`, `xrefs`, `procedure_callers`               |
-|    4 | Reconstructs the relevant control flow  | `get_call_graph`, `procedure_callees`, `procedure_info`          |
-|    5 | Decompiles the relevant routines        | `procedure_pseudo_code`, `procedure_assembly`, `batch_decompile` |
-|    6 | Builds the feature in your project      | code adapted to your stack, product, and requirements            |
+### Use the terminal
 
-REA handles the app analysis in steps 1–5. The agent performs step 6 with its normal file-editing and test tools, using what it learned about the app.
-
-## What agents can do
-
-- Investigate a feature you like and build a version tailored to your own product.
-- Explain how a feature works when its source code is unavailable.
-- Reconstruct an app's authentication, storage, update, or networking flow.
-- Recover enough structure to document an undocumented format or interface.
-- Trace a suspicious behavior from a string or symbol to the code that implements it.
-- Run, checkpoint, resume, and reuse a content-addressed artifact investigation across two versions.
-- Turn recovered behavior into product features, tests, migration notes, ports, or interoperable replacements.
-- Analyze Swift and Objective-C metadata without manually untangling every mangled symbol.
-- Leave names, comments, and bookmarks in Hopper so human and agent analysis reinforce each other.

-
-The public interface describes what the agent is trying to learn. Providers decide how to answer. macOS utilities handle common semantic inspection without launching Hopper; Hopper handles deeper native analysis; the process harness implements controlled behavioral capture.
-
-## Current status
-
-REA is already useful for native application, browser, and Electron investigation on supported macOS and Linux hosts, plus the bounded Windows Ghidra P0 described above:
-
-- Open Mach-O, ELF, PE, `.app`, ZIP, APK, IPA, ASAR, plist, JavaScript, source-map, and generic analysis-database targets; Hopper remains the only adapter that accepts legacy `.hop` databases.
-- Discover deep-analysis candidates without starting them, choose deterministically, and retain one immutable provider/profile binding until an explicit switch or close; provider failures never trigger transparent fallback.
-- Attach to a user-owned Chrome-family browser over a configured loopback CDP endpoint; capture exact-origin web structure, safe metadata, approved value-free payload shapes, bundle/source-map evidence, WebMCP declarations, user-action timelines, capture diffs, and explicitly approved screenshots without navigation or JavaScript evaluation.
-- Inspect Electron `file://` renderer pages through a separate canonical-root permission boundary without invoking Electron APIs; script contents remain separately approved and byte bounded.
-- Validate and canonically serialize a provider-neutral [JavaScript Application Graph v1](docs/javascript-application-graph.md) spanning packages, ASAR entries, Electron roles, JavaScript/source-map entities, browser/runtime instances, IPC, endpoints, storage, and native add-ons. This shipped domain contract performs no extraction or I/O by itself.
-- Reconstruct bounded static package, entrypoint, Webpack/Rspack module, import, worker, endpoint, storage, source-map, BrowserWindow, preload, contextBridge, IPC, utility-process, and native-add-on structure from an approved local directory or ASAR through `analyze_javascript_application` or `rea analyze-javascript-application`. The AST-only [application service](docs/javascript-artifact-reconstruction.md) never executes bootstrap code, pairs only unique exact literal IPC channels, and reports dynamic or ambiguous channels as unresolved.
-- Reconcile that static graph with existing passive web or Electron Evidence through `reconcile_javascript_runtime` or `rea reconcile-javascript-runtime`. Exact captured bytes outrank caller-declared file/URL mappings; target, frame, script, worker, cache, and asset ambiguity stays explicit, source-map authority stays separate, and a module resident in an observed bundle is never reported as executed. See [JavaScript static/runtime reconciliation](docs/javascript-runtime-reconciliation.md).
-- Trace a literal route, string, API, IPC channel, module, or native export through authenticated application Evidence with explicit traversal bounds, then hand exact native artifact digests and requested exports to retained Ghidra or Hopper Evidence without automatic provider switching. Compare application versions using unique-only digest, source-map, structural, and semantic tiers; duplicate, incomplete, and truncated matches stay unknown. See [cross-layer JavaScript application workflows](docs/javascript-application-workflows.md).
-- Classify PE/CLI managed artifacts with `inspect_managed_artifact` / `rea inspect-managed-artifact`, inspect bounded metadata members, signatures, raw CIL hashes, limited decoded-instruction-tuple v1 hashes, separately reported exception regions, call edges, and field-access anchors with `inspect_managed_members` / `rea inspect-managed-members`, inventory declared ModuleRef/ImplMap/PInvoke and non-IL method boundary indicators with `inspect_managed_native_boundaries` / `rea inspect-managed-native-boundaries`, then compare two authenticated member observations with `compare_managed_members` / `rea compare-managed-members`. `verify_managed_native_boundaries` / `rea verify-managed-native-boundaries` checks managed P/Invoke declarations against authenticated native export or function Evidence while keeping verified, inferred, contradicted, and unresolved states distinct. The comparison treats build-local tokens as build-local and uses unique decoded-CIL/signature and structural method-shape tiers, never names alone; the v1 tuple hash does not itself resolve tokens or fully commit control flow. `project_managed_application_graph` / `rea project-managed-application-graph` projects authenticated managed artifact/member/native-boundary Evidence into the existing application graph for cross-layer feature tracing. `import_managed_reconstruction` / `rea import-managed-reconstruction` admits user-supplied decompiler C#/IL/pseudocode as analyst inference only after exact artifact SHA-256, MVID, signature, and the shipped v1 decoded-IL commitment match. Separately, `plan_managed_runtime_correlation` / `rea plan-managed-runtime-correlation` can admit a default-disabled, permission-gated runtime-correlation plan locked to the same build evidence. These paths never load the assembly, resolve CLR dependencies, execute target code, run a decompiler, or translate managed tokens into native addresses; full normalized-CIL v2 semantics, native-body bridge mapping, and an actual runtime executor remain future managed-code contracts.
-- Configure `REA_ILSPY_CMD_PATH=/absolute/path/to/ilspycmd` only when you want
-  doctor and `verify:managed` to inspect a bring-your-own ILSpy command as a
-  real reconstruction oracle. REA does not install ILSpy and does not treat
-  decompiler text as canonical metadata or CIL observation.
-- Traverse content-addressed artifact graphs without extraction; on macOS, read-only DMG traversal additionally requires `native_mount_approved: true` and `REA_ARTIFACT_NATIVE_MOUNT_ENABLED=true`. Materialize only approved occurrences into absent output roots.
-- Build bounded function dossiers with pseudocode, assembly, CFG edges, comments, calls, references, strings, and names.
-- Search and trace features across symbols, strings, metadata, references, and call paths.
-- Record every successful result as deterministic Evidence v2 with artifact and provider identity, confidence, authority, limitations, and locations.
-- Export and import evidence bundles across sessions.
-- Persist automatic cross-version artifact runs as canonical, lock-protected workspaces with tamper-evident revision commitments.
-- Capture approved PTY scenarios as Process Capture v4 Evidence, including committed run manifests, raw and rendered terminal frames, scripted interactions, descendant settlement, named filesystem checkpoints, deterministic command shims, and loopback HTTP/WebSocket exchanges.
-- Compare complete artifact inventories by stable path, content, metadata, and relations; incomplete evidence never implies equivalence.
-- Compare explicit function dossiers across text, calls, references, strings, and address-normalized CFG topology with per-facet unknowns.
-- Compare canonical Evidence bundles by exact membership, explicit observation pairs, and residual-unknown histories without turning omissions into behavioral absence.
-- Aggregate runtime comparisons into observed behavior changes while keeping static artifact/function differences labeled as candidates.
-- Build bounded, Evidence-cited direct call paths by exact address without treating missing dossiers as graph leaves.
-- Correlate exact static/runtime findings through explicit hypotheses without claiming causality from cochange.
-- Verify finite behavioral and structural reconstruction specifications with pass, fail, and unknown kept distinct.
-- Track residual unknowns through immutable CAS revisions, evidence-qualified resolution, contradictions, probes, and validated dependency relationships.
-- With explicit `unknown_registry_approved: true`, record bounded trace/capture residuals, typed provider unavailability, and capture disagreements automatically.
-- Start six [guided MCP workflows](docs/mcp-prompts.md) with live, session-aware completion for documents, procedures, providers, evidence, captures, artifact IDs, and active unknowns.
-
-Hopper is the first provider, not the boundary of the project. Some current workflows still require Hopper and macOS; every evidence record identifies the provider and limitations behind its result.
-
-### Website observation with CDP
-
-REA can inspect an already-running Chrome-family browser that you own. Browser observation is disabled by default and requires a literal loopback CDP endpoint plus exact approved page origins:
+Inspect an extracted JavaScript/Electron app directory or ASAR:
 
 ```bash
-export REA_BROWSER_OBSERVE_ENABLED=true
-export REA_BROWSER_CDP_ENDPOINTS_JSON='["http://127.0.0.1:9222"]'
-export REA_BROWSER_ALLOWED_ORIGINS_JSON='["http://127.0.0.1:3000"]'
-
-rea list-browser-targets http://127.0.0.1:9222 --approved --json
-rea inspect-web-page http://127.0.0.1:9222 TARGET_ID --approved --json
+npx -y rea-agents@latest analyze-javascript-application /absolute/path/to/app --json
 ```
 
-All eight browser tools expose the same Evidence v2 contracts over CLI and MCP. Inspection is passive: REA does not evaluate page JavaScript, navigate, click, close the page, or close the browser. Query values, credentials, cookies, authorization headers, storage values, and raw JSON or WebSocket values are never retained. Separately approved captures can retain bounded redacted console primitives, value-free JSON/WebSocket shapes, script sources, accessibility text, or screenshot pixels. Existing activity before attach is explicitly unavailable. See [Website observation with CDP](docs/browser-observation.md) for browser startup, schemas, limits, and the threat model.
+The result includes modules, imports, Electron boundaries and their evidence.
+Replace the path with your target, such as `"D:/apps/example"` on Windows.
 
-Exact package, tool-family, provider, setup-client, public schema-version, and CLI facts are generated from source in [`docs/product-catalog.json`](docs/product-catalog.json). `npm run docs:check` verifies that this catalog, the narrative documentation, TypeDoc, and generated schemas have not drifted.
-
-## Roadmap
-
-REA is growing into a toolkit for understanding software across static artifacts and observed behavior. The [current status](#current-status) above is the shipped baseline; the items below are planned work.
-
-### Now
-
-1. **Maintain truthful product metadata** — extend the shipped canonical catalog and drift checks whenever versions, tools, providers, schemas, setup clients, or CLI capabilities change.
-2. **Cross-provider conformance growth** — add source-owned architectures and difficult indirect/thunk cases while preserving semantic comparison and provider-specific text boundaries.
-
-### Next
-
-1. **Controlled replay conformance growth** — extend the shipped Linux extracted-module sandbox with more source-owned hostile fixtures and cross-kernel conformance; browser or Electron interaction remains a different future authority.
-2. **Broader application graph evidence** — extend authenticated cross-layer traces with additional static extractors and separately approved runtime authorities.
-3. **Professional managed-code analysis** — extend shipped PE/CLI triage, CIL evidence, managed/native declaration inventory, source-owned conformance, and obfuscation-resistant comparisons toward verified native-provider composition under the accepted [managed-code boundary](docs/managed-code-analysis.md).
-4. **Deterministic behavior harnesses** — extend process ownership, protocol fixtures, filesystem observation, reconnects, and cross-version behavioral comparison.
-
-### Later
-
-1. **Controlled application interaction** — evaluate separately authorized full-application driving without widening passive browser, Electron, or extracted-module replay authority.
-2. **Native runtime observation** — approval-gated LLDB, Frida, system logs, process/filesystem observers, and native API tracing.
-3. **Additional providers and targets** — evaluate IDA/Hex-Rays, Binary Ninja, Rizin, LIEF, Windows-native providers, mobile artifacts, firmware, document formats, and other software-defined systems.
-
-New providers must produce the same evidence and safety metadata as existing capabilities before they become part of the public workflow. Once REA has multiple optional toolchains, setup can become capability-selective; the consent rules for that future work are recorded in the [installation roadmap](docs/roadmap.md).
-
-See the [static-analysis provider evaluation](docs/provider-evaluation.md) for the shipped Ghidra function-analysis boundary, remaining admission gates, and provider comparison matrix; [ADR-0001](docs/adr/0001-provider-selection-and-analysis-profiles.md) for binding, selection, profile, snapshot, and compatibility decisions; the [controlled replay guide](docs/controlled-javascript-replay.md) plus [ADR-0002](docs/adr/0002-controlled-replay-authority-and-sandbox.md) for the shipped JavaScript replay boundary; and [ADR-0003](docs/adr/0003-managed-code-evidence-and-provider-boundary.md) for the managed-code evidence and provider design.
-
-## Using REA with other agents
-
-Setup detects Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor, Gemini CLI, Windsurf, and Devin. It automatically configures the first six when present; detected Devin installations are reported but left unchanged. Any agent that supports local MCP servers can use REA with the configuration below.
-
-### Manual MCP configuration
-
-```json
-{
-  "mcpServers": {
-    "rea": {
-      "command": "npx",
-      "args": ["-y", "rea-agents@latest", "mcp"]
-    }
-  }
-}
-```
-
-MCP clients that support prompts can also discover six ordered investigation
-workflows through `prompts/list`. Their optional identifier arguments use the
-current session for bounded `completion/complete` suggestions; see
-[Guided MCP prompts and completion](docs/mcp-prompts.md).
-

-
-The CLI and MCP server use the same application workflows and evidence contracts. A provider declares which capabilities it supports and the side effects those capabilities may have. Terminal commands are short-lived; an MCP session can retain an active target and evidence ledger across an investigation. Approved persistent workspaces keep canonical Evidence and resumable run checkpoints across both process and session lifetimes.
-
-## CLI
-
-The agent workflow above is the easiest way to use REA. For a one-off overview from the Terminal:
-
-```bash
-npx -y rea-agents@latest analyze /Applications/Notes.app
-npx -y rea-agents@latest inspect /Applications/Notes.app
-npx -y rea-agents@latest inspect /Applications/Notes.app --detail detailed --limit 20
-npx -y rea-agents@latest search /Applications/Notes.app "offline"
-npx -y rea-agents@latest function /Applications/Notes.app 0x1000
-npx -y rea-agents@latest xrefs /Applications/Notes.app 0x1000
-npx -y rea-agents@latest trace /Applications/Notes.app "offline"
-npx -y rea-agents@latest compare /absolute/path/to/left-evidence.json /absolute/path/to/right-evidence.json
-npx -y rea-agents@latest investigate-versions /path/to/v1 /path/to/v2 /absolute/path/to/evidence/releases.json --yes
-npx -y rea-agents@latest capabilities
-npx -y rea-agents@latest providers
-```
-
-Run `npx -y rea-agents@latest --help` for direct decompilation, bounded search and
-other options. `analyze` and `inspect` share the same overview workflow;
-`function`, `xrefs`, and `trace` return the same Evidence v2 envelopes as MCP.
-
-Or install the `rea` command globally:
+To install the `rea` command for regular use:
 
 ```bash
 npm install --global rea-agents
 rea --help
-rea upgrade
-rea mcp
 ```
 
-REA accepts a Mac `.app` folder directly. If an agent cannot find an app by name, tell it where the app is installed.
+For native analysis, configure a provider first. See the
+[CLI and Evidence guide](docs/cli.md) for native commands, provider selection,
+snapshots and scripting.
 
-### Choosing a deep-analysis provider
+### Update REA
 
-Every deep-analysis open resolves a provider before creating its client. The
-same selector and precedence apply to the CLI, MCP, and startup configuration:
+REA changes quickly, and new releases include frequent bug fixes. Keep your
+installation up to date.
+
+For a CLI installed with `npm install --global` or `bun add --global`:
 
 ```bash
-rea providers --json
-rea analyze /absolute/path/to/program --provider hopper
-REA_ANALYSIS_PROVIDER=hopper rea decompile /absolute/path/to/program 0x1000
+rea update
 ```
 
-For MCP, pass the optional selector on `open_binary`:
+Bun global updates require Bun 1.2.17 or later. With an older Bun release,
+upgrade Bun manually before running `rea update`.
 
-```json
-{
-  "path": "/absolute/path/to/program",
-  "provider_id": "hopper"
-}
-```
+To refresh your agent registrations and skill, run the setup command printed
+by the update.
 
-The request-level `provider_id` or `--provider` wins over
-`REA_ANALYSIS_PROVIDER`; all accept a provider ID or `auto`. Automatic selection
-binds the sole usable deep candidate, reports `ambiguous` when several are
-usable, and can leave an artifact-only target unbound so its disjoint artifact
-operations still work. An explicit unknown, unavailable, or unsupported
-provider fails with candidate IDs, stable rejection codes, and actionable local
-diagnostics. `binary_session`, `rea providers`, and `rea capabilities` expose
-the authoritative `analysis_provider_candidates` and
-`analysis_provider_binding` fields. Reopening the same target without a selector
-keeps its binding; runtime failure never selects another provider silently.
-Ghidra can appear as an available, target-compatible candidate after doctor
-validates its exact installation. Its capability list contains the 18 admitted
-read-only inventory and function-analysis operations; selecting it still does
-not make Hopper-only GUI or mutation operations available and never triggers a
-silent fallback.
-
-### CLI exit status
-
-| Status    | Meaning                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  |
-| --------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
-| `0`       | The requested operation completed. Truthful unknowns, warnings, and bounded or truncated evidence remain successful results.                                                                                                                                             |
-| `1`       | Arguments, policy, permission, provider analysis, integrity checking, cancellation, timeout, setup, diagnostics, update, uninstall, output encoding, or output writing prevented completion. Structured output identifies the failure category when REA could encode it. |
-| `128 + N` | The process ended from signal `N`, where the shell or runtime preserves the conventional signal-derived status.                                                                                                                                                          |
-
-`setup` returns `1` for `planned`, `needs_confirmation`, or `needs_human`
-because configuration is not ready; rerun it after approval or remediation.
-`doctor` returns `1` when any check is unhealthy. Output format, full envelopes,
-filters, and token controls never change the operation status.
-
-When REA feeds a shell pipeline, enable `pipefail` so a downstream formatter
-cannot hide its failure:
+If you use `npx`, update your agent setup with:
 
 ```bash
-set -o pipefail
-rea inventory-artifact ./app.asar --json | jq . > inventory.json
+npx rea-agents@latest setup
 ```
 
-## Current Hopper provider
+Review the setup changes and restart your agent. For one-off CLI commands,
+use `npx rea-agents@latest` followed by the command. With Bun, use
+`bunx rea-agents@latest` in place of `npx rea-agents@latest`.
 
-REA starts Hopper when needed; Hopper does not need to be running first. Hopper's launcher internally activates the application, so opening a target may bring Hopper to the foreground. REA asks macOS to start Hopper hidden and in the background when possible, but cannot guarantee that it will remain behind the current application.
+## How REA works
 
-REA derives explicit format and architecture arguments to prevent common FAT and ARM selection dialogs. Other Hopper or macOS dialogs may still require a person. REA reports timeouts and remediation through CLI or MCP results instead of attempting to answer UI prompts.
+Your agent calls REA through MCP to inspect the target and trace relevant code.
+REA returns findings with their evidence. The agent uses them to ask follow-up
+questions, explain the behavior, or write and test an implementation.
+CLI commands use the same workflows.
 
-Closing a REA session shuts down its bridge and removes its private socket directory. It does not quit a Hopper application the user may be using.
+![REA investigation flow: your agent asks about a local target, REA inspects and traces it using analysis tools, and the agent uses the returned code, references and unknowns to explain, implement and test.](website/public/assets/figures/rea-investigation-flow.svg)
 
-## Advanced process-capture setup
+[Open the full-size figure](website/public/assets/figures/rea-investigation-flow.svg).
 
-Process capture is disabled by default. Enabling it requires
-`REA_PROCESS_CAPTURE_ENABLED=true`, approved executable and working roots in
-`REA_PROCESS_EXECUTABLE_ROOTS_JSON` and `REA_PROCESS_WORKING_ROOTS_JSON`, and an
-environment allowlist in `REA_PROCESS_ALLOWED_ENV_JSON`. Because the current PTY
-adapter uses host networking, it also requires
-`REA_PROCESS_ALLOW_EXTERNAL_NETWORK=true`.
+<a id="current-status"></a>
 
-Set `REA_PROCESS_CAPTURE_AUTO_GRANT=false` to configure those process-capture
-limits as a ceiling without implicitly granting them. This mode remains
-fail-closed until a narrower grant is established.
+## What you can analyze
 
-Capture a scenario or compare two saved Process Capture v4 Evidence records:
+REA requires Node.js 22.x (>=22.19), 24.x (>=24.11), or 26+, plus npm.
+Additional tools and host support depend on the target:
 
-```bash
-rea capture-process ./scenario.json > authority.json
-rea capture-process ./reconstruction.json > reconstruction.json
-rea compare-process-captures authority.json reconstruction.json
-```

-The comparison reports each observed dimension separately and identifies the
-first terminal, interaction, exit, filesystem, protocol, process, or shim
-divergence. See [Process Capture v4](docs/process-capture.md) for scenario
-fields, command-shim replay, checkpoint triggers, limits, and safety behavior.
+Static JavaScript and .NET inspection read the supplied files without running
+the application. Runtime capture runs or interacts with the selected target
+using your user permissions; each runtime guide describes its effects.
 
-REA installs a prebuilt PTY backend for supported macOS, Linux, and Windows
-architectures. If the capability check reports that the backend is unavailable,
-reinstall REA for the current platform and architecture.
+For offline native-binary inspection, REA also supports caller-supplied GNU
+objdump and Rizin. See the [reverse-engineering tools guide](docs/reverse-engineering-tools.md)
+for provider setup, CLI commands, and Evidence limitations. REA does not install
+or update either provider.
 
-ASAR inventory verifies Electron integrity metadata for both archive entries
-and `.asar.unpacked` companion files. Integrity failures identify the logical
-path, declared and calculated SHA-256 values, and whether the entry was
-unpacked; REA does not silently accept the mismatched artifact. If a supplied
-ASAR declares unpacked companion bytes that are absent from the local artifact
-set, REA keeps that occurrence as `unavailable` and continues analyzing the
-embedded JavaScript instead of treating the missing native/resource bytes as
-verified or absent.

-## Security model
+Native formats and host support vary by provider. See
+[Hopper and Ghidra setup](docs/installation.md#hopper), the
+[IDA guide](docs/ida-provider.md) (including an optional native MCP bridge), and
+[experimental Windows Ghidra support](docs/windows-ghidra-p0.md).
+Ghidra also supports [16-bit DOS analysis](docs/ghidra-dos.md).
+For large binaries, raise the provider's startup deadline with
+`REA_GHIDRA_STARTUP_TIMEOUT_MS` or `REA_HOPPER_STARTUP_TIMEOUT_MS`.
+For provider selection, see the [CLI guide](docs/cli.md#choose-a-provider).
+Check [release availability](docs/installation.md#released-package-and-main)
+for features added since the latest npm release.
 
-REA does not provide a hosted analysis service. Hopper and Linux Ghidra bridge communication uses authenticated private local sockets. Windows Ghidra P0 uses authenticated IPv4 loopback but does not claim named-pipe DACL or hostile-local-user isolation. Dynamic capabilities are disabled by default and require both operator policy and explicit per-call approval. Shipped providers, passive observers, and Process Capture are not security sandboxes: providers and launched targets run with the current user's permissions. Extracted JavaScript replay is a distinct Linux-only capability that fails closed unless Bubblewrap namespaces, architecture-checked seccomp, private runtime mounts, and delegated cgroup limits are available; it never inherits browser, Electron, or Process Capture authority. See [ADR-0002](docs/adr/0002-controlled-replay-authority-and-sandbox.md). Report vulnerabilities through the private process in [SECURITY.md](SECURITY.md).

 ## FAQ
 
-<details>
-<summary><strong>Does Hopper need to be running before I start REA?</strong></summary>
-
-No. REA starts Hopper when an operation needs it. An already-running Hopper application is also supported.
-
-</details>
-
-<details>
-<summary><strong>Why did Hopper appear in front of my other windows?</strong></summary>
-
-Hopper's launcher internally activates the application. REA requests background startup, but macOS and Hopper may still bring a window or dialog forward. See [Hopper application behavior](#hopper-application-behavior).
-
-</details>
-
-<details>
-<summary><strong>Does REA include Hopper?</strong></summary>
-
-No. Setup can install Hopper for you, but Hopper remains separate software with its own license. REA supplies the CLI, MCP server, and workflows that make it usable by agents.
-
-</details>
-
-<details>
-<summary><strong>Does REA install or include Ghidra or Java?</strong></summary>
-
-No. Ghidra support is bring-your-own. REA packages only its Java bridge source, validates the exact supported Ghidra 12.1.2 and 64-bit JDK 21 installation, and loads that bridge through Ghidra's external script path after setup approval records the paths.
-
-</details>
-
-<details>
-<summary><strong>Does REA upload the app?</strong></summary>
-
-REA has no hosted analysis service. Current providers analyze artifacts and capture behavior locally. Your agent or model provider may have its own data policy, so review that separately.
-
-</details>
-
-<details>
-<summary><strong>Can REA recover the original source code?</strong></summary>
-
-No decompiler can guarantee the original source. REA gives an agent pseudocode, assembly, symbols, strings, metadata, and relationships that it can use to explain or compatibly recreate observed behavior.
-
-</details>
-
 <details>
 <summary><strong>Which agents can use REA?</strong></summary>
 
-Any agent that can run a local MCP server can use the manual configuration. Setup detects Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor, Gemini CLI, Windsurf, and Devin; it automatically configures the first six when present and reports Devin without modifying it.
+Any agent that supports local MCP servers. Setup configures the
+[supported agents](docs/installation.md#supported-agents); other clients can use
+[manual MCP registration](docs/installation.md#mcp-registry).
 
 </details>
 
-## Development
+<details>
+<summary><strong>Do I need Hopper, Ghidra or IDA?</strong></summary>
 
-See [CONTRIBUTING.md](CONTRIBUTING.md) for setup, architecture, tests, and release instructions. Generated API documentation is available under [`docs/api`](docs/api/index.html).
+Deep native analysis uses one of them. Static JavaScript and .NET inspection
+work without a native analysis engine. Setup can install Hopper after approval;
+Ghidra and IDA use your existing installations. See [provider setup](docs/installation.md#hopper).

+<details>
+<summary><strong>Do I need to start Hopper first?</strong></summary>
+
+REA starts Hopper when an operation needs it. On macOS, a first-run dialog may
+ask you to choose demo mode or activate your license. Complete that prompt in the
+same user session before your first CLI/MCP operation or unattended job. Open
+Hopper manually if needed. See
+[Hopper startup and troubleshooting](docs/installation.md#launcher-paths-and-troubleshooting).
+
+</details>
+
+<details>
+<summary><strong>What does installing the skill from skills.sh do?</strong></summary>
+
+The skill supplies investigation instructions for your agent. Use `npx rea-agents setup`
+to register REA's MCP server and install the matching instructions, then restart
+your agent. See [skill-only installation](docs/installation.md#skill-only-installation).
+
+</details>
+
+<details>
+<summary><strong>What code does REA return?</strong></summary>
+
+Native analysis returns pseudocode and assembly. JavaScript/Electron analysis
+recovers modules and their relationships. Your agent uses these findings to
+write and test an implementation; the [showcases](#showcases) give worked examples.
+
+</details>
+
+<details>
+<summary><strong>Does REA upload my app?</strong></summary>
+
+REA analyzes targets locally. Your agent receives the tool results, and its
+model provider has its own data policy.
+
+</details>
+
+<details>
+<summary><strong>What should I do if I hit a bug?</strong></summary>
+
+Update first; a recent release may already fix it.
+
+For a CLI installed with `npm install --global` or `bun add --global`:
+
+```bash
+rea update
+```
+
+For agent setup through `npx`:
+
+```bash
+npx rea-agents@latest setup
+```
+
+If you're using an agent, complete the [setup refresh](#update-rea) and restart
+it. Retry the same task. If the problem persists, [open an issue](https://github.com/morluto/rea/issues)
+with your REA version, target type, steps to reproduce and error output.

-هل وجدت في تطبيق ما ميزة تريدها في منتجك؟ أعط التطبيق إلى وكيل البرمجة حتى من دون شيفرته المصدرية. باستخدام REA، يستطيع الوكيل استقصاء الميزة وفهم آلية عملها ثم بناء نسخة ملائمة لتقنياتك وتصميمك ومتطلباتك.
-
-يوفر REA هذه العملية عبر CLI وخادم MCP واحدين. يستطيع الوكيل قراءة شيفرة التطبيق وتتبع طريقة عمل الميزات ثم استخدام الأدلة مباشرة في عمله البرمجي المعتاد. ويتولى REA أدوات الهندسة العكسية المعقدة خلف واجهة واحدة.
-
-## اطلب من وكيلك مباشرة
-
-```bash
-npx skills add morluto/rea
-```
-
-ثم اطلب:
-
-```text
-أعد REA وأجر هندسة عكسية لتطبيق Notes. اشرح طريقة عمل البحث وكيف توصلت إلى ذلك،
-ثم ابنِ ميزة مشابهة لمشروعي.
-```
-
-تطبيق Notes مجرد مثال. يمكنك تسمية أي تطبيق تريد فهمه أو طلب البدء بنظرة عامة.

-
-## البدء السريع
-
-### باستخدام وكيل برمجة — موصى به
-
-```bash
-npx skills add morluto/rea
-```
-
-اطلب من الوكيل إعداد REA. سيفحص جهاز Mac ويشرح ما يحتاج إلى تثبيته ويطلب الموافقة ويرشدك خلال رسائل النظام. أعد تشغيل الوكيل بعد الإعداد إذا طلب ذلك لتحميل مجموعة الأدوات الكاملة.
-
-### قبل البدء
-
-- macOS 12 أو أحدث
-- Ubuntu 24.04+ أو Fedora 41+ أو Arch Linux ‏64 بت
-- Node.js 22.19+ أو 24.11+ وnpm المرفق مع Node
-
-يعرض `rea setup` خطة التغييرات كاملة ويطلب التأكيد قبل تطبيقها. لا يثبت أو يحدّث Homebrew أو Node.js أو npm. إذا كان [Hopper](https://www.hopperapp.com/) مفقودًا، يقترح Setup الحزمة الرسمية. Hopper برنامج منفصل يحتاج إلى ترخيص خاص به.
-
-إذا كان Ghidra 12.1.2 PUBLIC وJDK 21 الكامل بنواة 64 بت مثبتين مسبقًا على Linux ‏64 بت، فيمكن لـ Setup أيضًا تسجيل `GHIDRA_INSTALL_DIR` و`JAVA_HOME` الاختياري بعد الموافقة. لا ينزّل REA أو يثبت أو يعدّل Ghidra أو Java. يوفّر مزوّد Ghidra ضمن جلسة headless معزولة وللقراءة فقط الجرد، وفك الترجمة، والتجميع، وعلاقات الاستدعاء، والمراجع ذات الأنواع، وxref، وCFG، وملفات تحليل الدوال؛ وتبقى حالة الواجهة الرسومية وعمليات التعديل غير متاحة.
-
-#### التثبيت على Linux واستكشاف الأخطاء
-
-على Ubuntu 24.04+ وFedora 41+ وArch Linux ‏64 بت، ينزّل REA حزمة DEB أو RPM أو Arch الرسمية، ويتحقق من الحجم وقيمة التحقق المنشورين، ثم يستخدم `apt-get` أو `dnf` أو `pacman` لحل الاعتماديات. عند التشغيل دون root يعرض `pkexec` طلب تفويض النظام. لا يستدعي REA الأمر `sudo`.
-
-مسار المشغّل الافتراضي هو `/opt/hopper/bin/Hopper`. استخدم `HOPPER_LAUNCHER_PATH` للمسارات الأخرى. إذا أبلغ Doctor عن غياب محرك التحليل، شغّل `ldd /opt/hopper/bin/Hopper | grep 'not found'`، وثبّت المكتبات الناقصة ثم أعد `rea setup`. يشغّل REA إصدار Hopper التجريبي المدعوم على شاشة Xvfb خاصة ويختار وضع التجربة الذي يقدمه Hopper لكل جلسة تحليل؛ لا يلزم `DISPLAY` لسطح المكتب ولا ترخيص مدفوع، مع بقاء حدود الإصدار التجريبي التي يحددها المورّد. أضف `~/.local/bin` إلى `PATH` أيضًا.
-
-### 1. إعداد REA
-
-```bash
-curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/morluto/rea/main/install.sh | bash
-npx rea-agents setup
-```
-
-إذا طلب macOS أو برنامج التثبيت تأكيدًا، فأكمل الخطوة ثم شغّل الأمر نفسه مرة أخرى.
-
-### 2. إعادة تشغيل وكيل البرمجة
-
-يكتشف Setup كلاً من Claude Code وClaude Desktop وCodex وCursor وGemini CLI وWindsurf وDevin. ويهيئ تلقائيًا أول ستة عملاء عند اكتشافهم؛ أما Devin فيُبلّغ عن اكتشافه فقط ولا يُعدّله لعدم وجود حد موثق لإعداد MCP المحلي. أعد تشغيل العملاء الذين جرى إعدادهم كي يحمّلوا REA.
-
-### 3. اطلب من الوكيل
-
-يمكنك ذكر التطبيق باسمه. سيعثر وكيل البرمجة عليه ويمرر ملف البرنامج الذي يحتاجه REA.
-
-```text
-استخدم REA لإجراء هندسة عكسية لتطبيق Notes. اشرح طريقة عمل البحث واعرض الأدلة،
-ثم ابنِ ميزة مشابهة لمشروعي باستخدام SQLite.
-```
-
-إذا واجهت مشكلة، فشغّل:
-
-```bash
-npx -y rea-agents@latest doctor
-rea uninstall
-rea uninstall --purge-data
-```
-
-## استقصاء كامل بطلب واحد
-
-بعد الإعداد، يمكنك أن تطلب من وكيلك:
-
-> افتح التطبيق، واكتشف آلية عمل البحث من دون اتصال، واشرح تدفق التحكم، ثم ابنِ نسخة لمشروعي باستخدام TypeScript وSQLite.
-
-يمكن للوكيل تحويل ذلك إلى سير عمل قابل للتحقق:
-
-```text
-فتح الهدف
-  → انتظار اكتمال تحليل Hopper
-  → جرد المعماريات والرموز والسلاسل النصية
-  → تحديد نقاط الدخول والدوال المهمة
-  → تتبع الاستدعاءات والمراجع المتبادلة وتدفق التحكم
-  → فك ترجمة التنفيذ ذي الصلة
-  → تلخيص السلوك والقيود والحالات الطرفية
-  → بناء الميزة بما يلائم تقنيات المشروع ومتطلباته
-```
-
-## ما الذي يمكنك فعله؟
-
-### فهم تطبيق لا تملك مصدره
-
-اكشف نقاط الدخول، وأسماء الفئات، والسلاسل النصية، والأطر المستخدمة، ومسارات الميزات من الملف التنفيذي وحده.
-
-### بناء ميزة تعجبك بطريقتك
-
-استقصِ الميزة، وافهم سلوكها، ثم ابنِ نسخة ملائمة لمنتجك وتقنياتك ومتطلباتك.
-
-### توثيق بروتوكول أو تنسيق غير موثق
-
-تتبع الموزعات، والثوابت، والمقارنات، والقراءة والكتابة لفهم الرسائل وتنسيقات الملفات وآلات الحالات.
-
-### إعادة إنشاء سلوك متوافق
-
-حوّل منطقًا مفكوك الترجمة إلى مواصفات واضحة، ثم نفذ بديلًا نظيفًا تحكمه اختبارات السلوك الملحوظ.
-
-### تدقيق منطق أمني حساس
-
-افحص التحقق من الإدخال، والتشفير، والصلاحيات، والتخزين، ومسارات الأخطاء من دون رفع الملف التنفيذي إلى خدمة بعيدة.

-## استخدام REA مع وكلاء برمجة آخرين
-
-يكتشف Setup كلاً من Claude Code وClaude Desktop وCodex وCursor وGemini CLI وWindsurf وDevin، ويهيئ تلقائيًا أول ستة عملاء. أما Devin فيُبلّغ عن اكتشافه فقط ولا يُعدّله. يمكن لأي وكيل برمجة يدعم خوادم MCP المحلية استخدام REA بالإعداد التالي:
-
-```json
-{
-  "mcpServers": {
-    "rea": {
-      "command": "npx",
-      "args": ["-y", "rea-agents@latest", "mcp"]
-    }
-  }
-}
-```
-
-## كيف يعمل؟
-
-```mermaid
-flowchart LR
-    Human[المستخدم] --> Agent[وكيل البرمجة]
-    Agent --> REA[REA]
-    Human -->|CLI| REA
-    REA --> Hopper[عمليات تحليل Hopper]
-    Hopper --> App[تطبيقك]
-    REA --> Ghidra[تحليل Ghidra للقراءة فقط<br/>جرد + تحليل الدوال]
-    Ghidra --> App
-```
-
-يستخدم CLI وخادم MCP محرك التحليل نفسه. تغلق أوامر الطرفية التطبيق عند انتهائها، بينما تبقيه جلسة الوكيل مفتوحًا أثناء الاستقصاء.
-
-## أوامر CLI
-
-سير عمل الوكيل أعلاه هو أسهل طريقة لاستخدام REA. للحصول على نظرة سريعة على تطبيق من الطرفية:
-
-```bash
-npx -y rea-agents@latest analyze /Applications/Notes.app
-npx -y rea-agents@latest compare /absolute/path/to/left-evidence.json /absolute/path/to/right-evidence.json
-```
-
-شغّل `npx -y rea-agents@latest --help` لمعرفة خيارات فك الترجمة المباشر والخيارات الأخرى.
-
-يمكن لـ REA فتح مجلد `.app` على Mac مباشرة. إذا لم يعثر الوكيل على التطبيق، فأخبره بمكان تثبيته.
-
-## سلوك Hopper
-
-يستطيع REA تشغيل Hopper تلقائيًا؛ لا حاجة إلى افتراض أنه يعمل مسبقًا. لكنه تطبيق macOS رسومي، لذلك قد يطلب التركيز أو يعرض حوارًا عندما يفرض Hopper قرارًا تفاعليًا. لا يمكن لـ REA ضمان تشغيل غير مرئي تمامًا لأن هذه الواجهة يملكها Hopper وmacOS.
-
-لتجنب مربع اختيار معمارية ملف شامل، حدد معطيات المحمل مسبقًا:
-
-```bash
-export HOPPER_LOADER_ARGS_JSON='["-l", "Mach-O", "--aarch64"]'
-```
-
-يدير REA دورة حياة Hopper ويحاول إغلاق العمليات التي بدأها عند انتهاء الأمر أو جلسة MCP.
-
-## الأمان والخصوصية
-
-- يبقى تحليل الملف التنفيذي محليًا بين REA ومزوّد التحليل المختار.
-- لا يرفع REA الأهداف إلى خدمة مستضافة.
-- تستخدم جلسات Ghidra مشروعًا مؤقتًا معزولًا ولا تفتح مشاريع Ghidra التي يملكها المستخدم أو تعدّلها.
-- راجع الملفات التنفيذية غير الموثوقة واعزلها كما تفعل مع أي مدخل أصلي قد يكون ضارًا.
-- أبلغ عن الثغرات وفق [سياسة الأمان](SECURITY.md)، وليس عبر قضية عامة.
-
-## الأسئلة الشائعة
-
-<details>
-<summary><strong>هل يتضمن REA محرك فك ترجمة خاصًا به؟</strong></summary>
-
-لا. يستطيع Setup تثبيت Hopper، لكنه يظل برنامجًا منفصلًا بترخيص خاص به. يوفر REA واجهة CLI وخادم MCP وسير العمل المخصص للوكلاء.
-
-</details>
-
-<details>
-<summary><strong>هل يجب أن يكون Hopper مفتوحًا مسبقًا؟</strong></summary>
-
-لا. يستطيع REA تشغيله. لكن Hopper قد يصبح مرئيًا أو يطلب إدخالًا عند الحاجة إلى قرار تفاعلي.
-
-</details>
-
-<details>
-<summary><strong>هل يعمل REA على Linux أو Windows؟</strong></summary>
-
-نعم، يعمل REA على macOS 12+ وUbuntu 24.04+ وFedora 41+ وArch Linux ‏64 بت؛ Windows غير مدعوم حاليًا. يستخدم التحليل العميق Hopper أو مزوّد Ghidra للقراءة فقط الذي يختاره المستدعي؛ ويتطلب Ghidra على Linux الإصدار 12.1.2 وJDK 21 الكامل.
-
-</details>
-
-<details>
-<summary><strong>هل يمكنني تحليل قواعد Hopper المحفوظة؟</strong></summary>
-
-نعم. يدعم وقت التشغيل الملفات التنفيذية وقواعد `.hop`.

----
-
-アプリの気になる機能を自分のプロダクトにも取り入れたいと思ったことはありませんか。ソースコードがなくても、そのアプリをコーディングエージェントに渡せます。REA を使えば、エージェントが機能を調査して仕組みを理解し、あなたの技術スタック、デザイン、要件に合わせた形で実装できます。
-
-REA はこの流れをひとつの CLI / MCP サーバーで実現します。エージェントはコンパイル済みのアプリを調べ、機能の流れを追い、分かったことを通常のコーディング作業に活用できます。複雑なリバースエンジニアリングツールは REA がひとつのインターフェースの裏側で扱います。
-
-## エージェントに頼むだけ
-
-```bash
-npx skills add morluto/rea
-```
-
-次のように依頼します：
-
-```text
-REA をセットアップしてメモアプリをリバースエンジニアリングしてください。
-検索の仕組みと判断の理由を示し、私のプロジェクト向けに同様の機能を実装してください。
-```
-
-メモアプリは例にすぎません。調べたいアプリを指定するか、まず概要から始めるよう依頼できます。
-
-## バイナリから動作へ
-
-| 逆コンパイル                                                                                                                     | 理解                                                                                                                       | 再現                                                                                       |
-| -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
-| ネイティブアプリや実行ファイルから、プロシージャ、疑似コード、アセンブリ、文字列、シンボル、セグメント、メタデータを復元します。 | 呼び出し元、呼び出し先、クロスリファレンス、コールグラフをたどり、機能やアルゴリズムの実際の動作を説明できる状態にします。 | エージェントが得た知見を、あなたの技術スタック、画面、要件に合うプロダクト機能へ変えます。 |
-
-REA は調査をバイナリ上の根拠に結び付けます。元のソースコードを復元したり、アプリ全体を自動複製したりするとは主張しません。
-
-## REA を選ぶ理由
-
-|                        |                                                                                       |
-| ---------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
-| **エージェント向け**   | コンパイル済みアプリについて質問し、推測ではなく根拠を集めさせることができます。      |
-| **CLI と MCP**         | ターミナルとコーディングエージェントから同じリバースエンジニアリング機能を使えます。  |
-| **複雑さを処理**       | ツール設定、アプリの読み込み、調査の維持、終了後のクリーンアップを REA が担います。   |
-| **一連の調査に対応**   | 最初の概要から疑似コード、呼び出し関係、型、実装の手掛かりまで掘り下げられます。      |
-| **ローカルで解析**     | 解析は Mac 上で実行され、REA がバイナリをホスト型解析サービスへ送ることはありません。 |
-| **コンテキストを維持** | 質問ごとに解析を最初からやり直さず、複数のバイナリを続けて調査できます。              |
-
-## クイックスタート
-
-### コーディングエージェントから（推奨）
-
-```bash
-npx skills add morluto/rea
-```
-
-エージェントに REA のセットアップを依頼してください。Mac を確認し、必要なインストールを説明して承認を求め、システムプロンプトを案内します。完全なツールを読み込むため再起動を求められた場合は、セットアップ後に再起動してください。
-
-### 始める前に
-
-- macOS 12 以降
-- Ubuntu 24.04+、Fedora 41+、または 64 ビット Arch Linux
-- Node.js 22.19+ または 24.11+ と、Node に付属する npm
-
-`rea setup` は変更計画を表示し、確認後に適用します。Homebrew、Node.js、npm をインストールまたは更新しません。[Hopper](https://www.hopperapp.com/) がない場合は公式パッケージを提案します。Hopper は別製品で、ライセンスは別途必要です。
-
-64 ビット Linux に Ghidra 12.1.2 PUBLIC と完全な 64 ビット JDK 21 がすでにある場合、Setup は承認後に `GHIDRA_INSTALL_DIR` と任意の `JAVA_HOME` も登録できます。REA は Ghidra や Java をダウンロード、インストール、変更しません。Ghidra プロバイダーは隔離された読み取り専用 headless セッションで、インベントリ、逆コンパイル、アセンブリ、呼び出し関係、型付き参照、xref、CFG、関数 dossier を提供します。GUI 状態と変更操作は引き続き利用できません。
-
-#### Linux のインストールとトラブルシューティング
-
-Ubuntu 24.04+、Fedora 41+、64 ビット Arch Linux では、REA が公式の DEB、RPM、または Arch パッケージを取得し、公開されたサイズとチェックサムを検証してから `apt-get`、`dnf`、または `pacman` で依存関係を解決します。root 以外では `pkexec` がシステム承認を表示します。REA は `sudo` を呼び出しません。
-
-既定のランチャーは `/opt/hopper/bin/Hopper` です。別の場所では `HOPPER_LAUNCHER_PATH` を設定してください。Doctor が解析エンジン不足を報告した場合は `ldd /opt/hopper/bin/Hopper | grep 'not found'` を実行し、不足ライブラリを入れて `rea setup` を再実行します。REA は対応する Hopper デモ版を専用 Xvfb ディスプレイで起動し、解析セッションごとに Hopper が提示するデモモードを選択します。デスクトップの `DISPLAY` や有料ライセンスは不要ですが、デモ版にはベンダー所定の制限があります。`~/.local/bin` も `PATH` に追加してください。
-
-```bash
-# 1. REA をセットアップ
-curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/morluto/rea/main/install.sh | bash
-npx rea-agents setup
-```
-
-macOS やインストーラーから確認を求められた場合は、その操作を完了してから同じコマンドをもう一度実行してください。
-
-### 2. コーディングエージェントを再起動
-
-Setup は Claude Code、Claude Desktop、Codex、Cursor、Gemini CLI、Windsurf、Devin を検出します。検出した最初の 6 クライアントは自動設定しますが、Devin はローカル MCP 設定境界が文書化されていないため、検出結果を報告するだけで変更しません。設定されたクライアントを再起動して REA を読み込んでください。
-
-### 3. エージェントに依頼
-
-アプリは名前で指定できます。コーディングエージェントがアプリを探し、REA に必要なプログラムファイルを渡します。
-
-```text
-REA でメモアプリをリバースエンジニアリングしてください。検索機能の仕組みと
-根拠を示し、SQLite を使って私のプロジェクト向けに同様の機能を実装してください。
-```
-
-問題がある場合は次を実行します：
-
-```bash
-npx -y rea-agents@latest doctor
-rea uninstall
-rea uninstall --purge-data
-```
-
-## ひとつのプロンプトで調査を完結
-
-```text
-メモアプリをリバースエンジニアリングし、オフライン検索機能の仕組みを説明して、
-TypeScript と SQLite を使って私のプロジェクト向けに実装してください。
-```
-
-| 手順 | エージェントの処理             | REA ツール                                                       |
-| ---: | ------------------------------ | ---------------------------------------------------------------- |
-|    1 | バイナリを開いて識別           | `open_binary`, `binary_overview`                                 |
-|    2 | オフライン検索の手掛かりを探す | `search_strings`, `search_procedures`, `list_names`              |
-|    3 | 手掛かりと実行コードを接続     | `find_xrefs_to_name`, `xrefs`, `procedure_callers`               |
-|    4 | 制御フローを復元               | `get_call_graph`, `procedure_callees`, `procedure_info`          |
-|    5 | 関連する処理を逆コンパイル     | `procedure_pseudo_code`, `procedure_assembly`, `batch_decompile` |
-|    6 | プロジェクトに機能を実装する   | 技術スタック、プロダクト、要件に合わせたコード                   |
-
-REA は手順 1〜5 のバイナリ解析を処理し、手順 6 はエージェントの通常の編集・テストツールが行います。
-
-## エージェントにできること
-
-- ソースコードがない機能の仕組みを説明する。
-- アプリの認証、保存、更新、ネットワークフローを復元する。
-- 非公開の形式やインターフェースを文書化できる構造を回収する。
-- 文字列やシンボルから疑わしい動作の実装コードまで追跡する。
-- 同じセッションで 2 バージョンを切り替え、実装経路を比較する。
-- 気になる機能を調査し、自分のプロダクトに合わせた形で実装する。
-- 復元した動作をプロダクト機能、テスト、移行ノート、移植、相互運用できる代替実装へ変換する。
-- Swift / Objective-C のメタデータを解析する。
-- Hopper に名前、コメント、ブックマークを残し、人間とエージェントの調査を共有する。

-## 他のコーディングエージェントで使う
-
-Setup は Claude Code、Claude Desktop、Codex、Cursor、Gemini CLI、Windsurf、Devin を検出し、最初の 6 クライアントを自動設定します。Devin は検出結果を報告するだけで変更しません。ローカル MCP サーバーに対応するコーディングエージェントなら、次の設定で REA を利用できます。
-
-```json
-{
-  "mcpServers": {
-    "rea": {
-      "command": "npx",
-      "args": ["-y", "rea-agents@latest", "mcp"]
-    }
-  }
-}
-```
-
-## 仕組み
-
-```mermaid
-flowchart LR
-    Agent["コーディングエージェント"] --> REA["REA<br/>CLI + MCP"]
-    Terminal["ターミナル"] --> REA
-    REA --> Hopper["Hopper 解析操作"]
-    Hopper --> App["あなたのアプリ"]
-    REA --> Ghidra["Ghidra 読み取り専用解析<br/>インベントリ + 関数解析"]
-    Ghidra --> App
-```
-
-CLI と MCP サーバーは同じ解析エンジンを使います。ターミナルのコマンドは終了時にアプリを閉じ、エージェントのセッションは調査中アプリを開いたままにします。
-
-## CLI
-
-上のエージェントワークフローが、REA を使う最も簡単な方法です。ターミナルから一度だけアプリの概要を調べる場合は、次を実行します。
-
-```bash
-npx -y rea-agents@latest analyze /Applications/Notes.app
-```
-
-直接デコンパイルする方法やその他のオプションは、`npx -y rea-agents@latest --help` で確認できます。
-
-グローバルな `rea` コマンドとしてもインストールできます。
-
-```bash
-npm install --global rea-agents
-rea --help
-rea mcp
-```
-
-REA は Mac の `.app` フォルダーを直接開けます。エージェントがアプリを見つけられない場合は、インストール場所を伝えてください。
-
-## Hopper アプリの動作
-
-REA は必要なときに Hopper を起動します。Hopper のランチャーは内部でアプリをアクティブ化するため、ターゲットを開くと Hopper が前面に出る場合があります。REA はバックグラウンド起動を要求しますが、常に背面に留まる保証はありません。
-
-明示的な形式・アーキテクチャ引数により一般的な FAT / ARM 選択ダイアログを避けますが、別の Hopper / macOS ダイアログは人の操作を必要とする場合があります。セッションを閉じるとブリッジとソケットを削除しますが、ユーザーが利用中の Hopper は終了しません。
-
-## セキュリティモデル
-
-各セッションはランダムな capability token と現在のユーザーだけが使える Unix ソケットを使用します。Ghidra セッションは隔離された一時プロジェクトも使用し、ユーザー所有の Ghidra プロジェクトを開いたり変更したりしません。これはサンドボックスではなく、同じ OS ユーザー権限で動作する悪意あるプロセスを防御しません。信頼できないバイナリの解析は、現在のユーザー権限で選択されたローカルプロバイダーに委譲されます。脆弱性は [SECURITY.md](SECURITY.md) の非公開手順で報告してください。
-
-## FAQ
-
-<details><summary><strong>Hopper を先に起動する必要がありますか？</strong></summary>
-
-いいえ。REA が必要時に起動します。すでに起動している Hopper にも対応します。
-
-</details>
-
-<details><summary><strong>REA に Hopper は含まれますか？</strong></summary>
-
-含まれません。Setup で Hopper をインストールできますが、Hopper は独自のライセンスを持つ別製品です。REA は CLI、MCP サーバー、エージェント向けワークフローを提供します。
-
-</details>
-
-<details><summary><strong>バイナリはアップロードされますか？</strong></summary>
-
-REA にホスト型解析サービスはありません。ローカル Unix ソケット経由で Hopper を操作します。エージェントやモデル提供者のデータポリシーは別途確認してください。
-
-</details>
-
-<details><summary><strong>元のソースコードを復元できますか？</strong></summary>
-
-保証できません。REA は疑似コード、アセンブリ、シンボル、文字列、メタデータ、関係を提供し、エージェントが観察した動作を説明または互換再現できるようにします。

-
-어떤 앱에서 마음에 드는 기능을 자신의 제품에도 넣고 싶나요? 소스 코드가 없어도 앱을 코딩 에이전트에 전달할 수 있습니다. REA를 사용하면 에이전트가 기능을 조사하고 작동 방식을 이해한 뒤, 사용자의 기술 스택, 디자인, 요구 사항에 맞는 버전을 구현할 수 있습니다.
-
-REA는 이 과정을 하나의 CLI 및 MCP 서버로 제공합니다. 에이전트는 컴파일된 앱을 조사하고 기능의 작동 방식을 추적한 뒤 알아낸 내용을 일반 코딩 작업에 활용할 수 있습니다. 복잡한 리버스 엔지니어링 도구는 REA가 하나의 인터페이스 뒤에서 처리합니다.
-
-## 에이전트에게 바로 요청하기
-
-```bash
-npx skills add morluto/rea
-```
-
-그런 다음 요청하세요.
-
-```text
-REA를 설정하고 메모 앱을 리버스 엔지니어링해 주세요. 검색 기능의 작동 방식과
-그렇게 판단한 이유를 보여 주고, 제 프로젝트에 비슷한 기능을 구현해 주세요.
-```
-
-메모 앱은 예시일 뿐입니다. 이해하고 싶은 앱을 지정하거나 먼저 개요부터 살펴보라고 요청할 수 있습니다.

-
-## 빠른 시작
-
-### 코딩 에이전트에서 시작하기(권장)
-
-```bash
-npx skills add morluto/rea
-```
-
-에이전트에게 REA 설정을 요청하세요. Mac을 확인하고 필요한 설치 내용을 설명한 뒤 승인을 요청하며 시스템 프롬프트를 안내합니다. 전체 도구를 불러오기 위해 재시작하라고 하면 설정 후 에이전트를 재시작하세요.
-
-### 시작하기 전에
-
-- macOS 12 이상
-- Ubuntu 24.04+, Fedora 41+ 또는 64비트 Arch Linux
-- Node.js 22.19+ 또는 24.11+ 및 Node와 함께 제공되는 npm
-
-`rea setup`은 전체 변경 계획을 표시하고 확인 후 적용합니다. Homebrew, Node.js 또는 npm을 설치하거나 업데이트하지 않습니다. [Hopper](https://www.hopperapp.com/)가 없으면 공식 패키지 설치를 제안합니다. Hopper는 별도 라이선스가 필요한 독립 소프트웨어입니다.
-
-64비트 Linux에 Ghidra 12.1.2 PUBLIC과 완전한 64비트 JDK 21이 이미 설치되어 있다면 Setup은 승인 후 `GHIDRA_INSTALL_DIR`과 선택 사항인 `JAVA_HOME`도 등록할 수 있습니다. REA는 Ghidra나 Java를 다운로드, 설치 또는 수정하지 않습니다. Ghidra 공급자는 격리된 읽기 전용 headless 세션에서 인벤토리, 디컴파일, 어셈블리, 호출 관계, 형식이 지정된 참조, xref, CFG 및 함수 dossier를 제공합니다. GUI 상태와 변경 작업은 계속 사용할 수 없습니다.
-
-#### Linux 설치 및 문제 해결
-
-Ubuntu 24.04+, Fedora 41+, 64비트 Arch Linux에서 REA는 공식 DEB, RPM 또는 Arch 패키지를 내려받아 게시된 크기와 체크섬을 검증한 뒤 `apt-get`, `dnf` 또는 `pacman`으로 의존성을 설치합니다. root가 아니면 `pkexec`가 시스템 승인 창을 표시합니다. REA는 `sudo`를 호출하지 않습니다.
-
-기본 실행 파일은 `/opt/hopper/bin/Hopper`입니다. 다른 위치에 설치했다면 `HOPPER_LAUNCHER_PATH`를 설정하세요. Doctor가 분석 엔진 누락을 보고하면 `ldd /opt/hopper/bin/Hopper | grep 'not found'`를 실행하고 누락된 라이브러리를 설치한 다음 `rea setup`을 다시 실행하세요. REA는 지원되는 Hopper 데모 빌드를 전용 Xvfb 디스플레이에서 실행하고 분석 세션마다 Hopper가 제공하는 데모 모드를 선택합니다. 데스크톱 `DISPLAY`나 유료 라이선스는 필요하지 않지만 데모에는 공급업체가 정한 제한이 있습니다. `~/.local/bin`도 `PATH`에 추가해야 합니다.
-
-```bash
-# 1. REA 설정
-curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/morluto/rea/main/install.sh | bash
-npx rea-agents setup
-```
-
-macOS나 설치 프로그램이 확인을 요청하면 해당 절차를 완료하고 같은 명령을 다시 실행하세요.
-
-### 2. 코딩 에이전트 재시작
-
-Setup은 Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor, Gemini CLI, Windsurf, Devin을 감지합니다. 감지된 앞의 여섯 클라이언트는 자동으로 구성하지만, Devin은 문서화된 로컬 MCP 구성 경계가 없어 감지만 보고하고 변경하지 않습니다. 구성된 클라이언트를 다시 시작해 REA를 불러오세요.
-
-### 3. 에이전트에게 요청
-
-앱 이름만 말해도 됩니다. 코딩 에이전트가 앱을 찾아 REA에 필요한 프로그램 파일을 전달합니다.
-
-```text
-REA로 메모 앱을 리버스 엔지니어링해 주세요. 검색 기능의 작동 방식과 증거를 보여 주고,
-SQLite를 사용해 제 프로젝트에 비슷한 기능을 구현해 주세요.
-```
-
-문제가 있으면 다음을 실행하세요.
-
-```bash
-npx -y rea-agents@latest doctor
-rea uninstall
-rea uninstall --purge-data
-```
-
-## 하나의 프롬프트로 전체 조사
-
-```text
-메모 앱을 리버스 엔지니어링해 오프라인 검색 기능의 작동 방식을 설명한 다음,
-TypeScript와 SQLite를 사용해 제 프로젝트에 맞는 버전을 구현해 주세요.
-```
-
-| 단계 | 에이전트 작업           | REA 도구                                                         |

-|    1 | 바이너리 열기 및 식별   | `open_binary`, `binary_overview`                                 |
-|    2 | 오프라인 검색 단서 찾기 | `search_strings`, `search_procedures`, `list_names`              |
-|    3 | 단서를 실행 코드에 연결 | `find_xrefs_to_name`, `xrefs`, `procedure_callers`               |
-|    4 | 제어 흐름 재구성        | `get_call_graph`, `procedure_callees`, `procedure_info`          |
-|    5 | 관련 루틴 디컴파일      | `procedure_pseudo_code`, `procedure_assembly`, `batch_decompile` |
-|    6 | 프로젝트에 기능 구현    | 기술 스택, 제품, 요구 사항에 맞는 코드                           |
-
-REA는 1–5단계의 바이너리 분석을 처리합니다. 6단계는 에이전트가 일반 파일 편집 및 테스트 도구로 수행합니다.
-
-## 에이전트가 할 수 있는 일
-
-- 소스 코드가 없는 기능의 동작을 설명합니다.
-- 앱의 인증, 저장소, 업데이트 또는 네트워크 흐름을 재구성합니다.
-- 문서화되지 않은 형식이나 인터페이스의 구조를 복구합니다.
-- 문자열이나 심볼에서 의심스러운 동작을 구현한 코드까지 추적합니다.
-- 한 세션에서 두 앱 버전을 전환하며 구현 경로를 비교합니다.
-- 마음에 드는 기능을 조사하고 자신의 제품에 맞는 버전으로 구현합니다.
-- 복구한 동작을 제품 기능, 테스트, 마이그레이션 문서, 포팅 또는 상호 운용 가능한 대체품으로 변환합니다.
-- Swift 및 Objective-C 메타데이터를 분석합니다.
-- Hopper에 이름, 주석, 북마크를 남겨 사람과 에이전트의 분석을 연결합니다.

-## 다른 코딩 에이전트에서 사용하기
-
-Setup은 Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor, Gemini CLI, Windsurf, Devin을 감지하고 앞의 여섯 클라이언트를 자동으로 구성합니다. Devin은 감지만 보고하고 변경하지 않습니다. 로컬 MCP 서버를 지원하는 코딩 에이전트라면 다음 설정으로 REA를 사용할 수 있습니다.
-
-```json
-{
-  "mcpServers": {
-    "rea": {
-      "command": "npx",
-      "args": ["-y", "rea-agents@latest", "mcp"]
-    }
-  }
-}
-```
-
-## 작동 방식
-
-```mermaid
-flowchart LR
-    Agent["코딩 에이전트"] --> REA["REA<br/>CLI + MCP"]
-    Terminal["터미널"] --> REA
-    REA --> Hopper["Hopper 분석 작업"]
-    Hopper --> App["사용자의 앱"]
-    REA --> Ghidra["Ghidra 읽기 전용 분석<br/>인벤토리 + 함수 분석"]
-    Ghidra --> App
-```
-
-CLI와 MCP 서버는 같은 분석 엔진을 사용합니다. 터미널 명령은 끝날 때 앱을 닫고, 에이전트 세션은 조사하는 동안 앱을 열어 둡니다.
-
-## CLI
-
-위의 에이전트 워크플로가 REA를 사용하는 가장 쉬운 방법입니다. 터미널에서 앱을 한 번 빠르게 살펴보려면 다음을 실행하세요.
-
-```bash
-npx -y rea-agents@latest analyze /Applications/Notes.app
-```
-
-직접 디컴파일하는 방법과 기타 옵션은 `npx -y rea-agents@latest --help`에서 확인할 수 있습니다.
-
-전역 `rea` 명령으로 설치할 수도 있습니다.
-
-```bash
-npm install --global rea-agents
-rea --help
-rea mcp
-```
-
-REA는 Mac의 `.app` 폴더를 직접 열 수 있습니다. 에이전트가 앱을 찾지 못하면 설치 위치를 알려 주세요.
-
-## Hopper 앱 동작
-
-REA는 필요할 때 Hopper를 시작합니다. Hopper 런처는 내부적으로 앱을 활성화하므로 대상을 열 때 Hopper가 다른 창 앞으로 나타날 수 있습니다. REA는 백그라운드 시작을 요청하지만 항상 뒤에 머무르는 것을 보장할 수 없습니다.
-
-명시적인 형식과 아키텍처 인자로 일반적인 FAT/ARM 선택 대화상자를 피하지만, 다른 Hopper 또는 macOS 대화상자에는 사람이 응답해야 할 수 있습니다. 세션 종료 시 브리지와 소켓 디렉터리를 제거하지만 사용자가 작업 중인 Hopper 앱은 종료하지 않습니다.
-
-## 보안 모델
-
-각 세션은 무작위 capability token과 현재 사용자 전용 Unix 소켓을 사용합니다. Ghidra 세션은 격리된 임시 프로젝트도 사용하며 사용자 소유 Ghidra 프로젝트를 열거나 수정하지 않습니다. 이는 샌드박스가 아니며 같은 운영 체제 사용자로 실행되는 악성 프로세스를 방어하지 않습니다. 신뢰할 수 없는 바이너리를 열면 선택한 로컬 공급자가 현재 사용자 권한으로 분석합니다. 취약점은 [SECURITY.md](SECURITY.md)의 비공개 절차로 신고하세요.

-
-<details><summary><strong>Hopper를 미리 실행해야 하나요?</strong></summary>
-
-아니요. REA가 필요할 때 시작하며 이미 실행 중인 Hopper도 지원합니다.
-
-</details>
-
-<details><summary><strong>REA에 Hopper가 포함되나요?</strong></summary>
-
-아니요. Setup이 Hopper를 설치할 수 있지만 Hopper는 자체 라이선스가 필요한 별도 소프트웨어입니다. REA는 CLI, MCP 서버, 에이전트용 워크플로를 제공합니다.
-
-</details>
-
-<details><summary><strong>바이너리가 업로드되나요?</strong></summary>

----
-
-看到某个应用中想加入自己产品的功能？即使没有源代码，也可以把应用交给编程智能体。借助 REA，智能体能够调查该功能、理解其工作原理，并按照你的技术栈、设计和需求构建适合你产品的版本。
-
-REA 通过一个 CLI 与 MCP 服务器实现这套流程。智能体可以检查编译后的应用、追踪功能的工作方式，并把了解到的内容用于日常编码。REA 在一个接口背后处理复杂的逆向工程工具。
-
-## 直接询问智能体
-
-```bash
-npx skills add morluto/rea
-```
-
-然后说：
-
-```text
-设置 REA 并逆向工程“备忘录”应用。解释搜索功能的工作方式，
-说明你是如何得出结论的，然后为我的项目构建类似功能。
-```
-
-“备忘录”只是示例。你可以说出任何想了解的应用，也可以让智能体先从概览开始。
-
-## 从二进制到行为
-
-| 反编译                                                                       | 理解                                                                                   | 重建                                                         |
-| ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------ |
-| 打开原生应用或可执行文件，恢复过程、伪代码、汇编、字符串、符号、段和元数据。 | 沿调用者、被调用者、交叉引用和调用图追踪，直到智能体能够解释功能或算法的实际工作方式。 | 将智能体学到的内容变成适合你的技术栈、界面和需求的产品功能。 |
-
-REA 让调查始终以二进制证据为依据。它不会声称能恢复原始源代码，也不会自动克隆整个应用。
-
-## 为什么选择 REA
-
-|                  |                                                                |
-| ---------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------- |
-| **为智能体设计** | 直接询问编译后应用的行为，让智能体搜集证据，而不是猜测。       |
-| **CLI 与 MCP**   | 在终端或编程智能体中使用同一套逆向工程能力。                   |
-| **处理复杂流程** | REA 负责工具设置、打开应用、维持调查过程，并在完成后清理资源。 |
-| **完整工作流**   | 从初步概览推进到伪代码、调用关系、类型和实现线索。             |
-| **本地运行**     | 分析在你的 Mac 上运行；REA 不会把二进制上传到托管式分析服务。  |
-| **保留上下文**   | 连续调查多个二进制文件，无需为每个问题重新开始整个分析过程。   |
-
-## 快速开始
-
-### 使用编程智能体（推荐）
-
-```bash
-npx skills add morluto/rea
-```
-
-让智能体设置 REA。它会检查你的 Mac，说明需要安装的内容，先征得同意，并引导你处理系统提示。如果智能体要求重启以加载完整工具，请在设置后重启。
-
-### 开始之前
-
-- macOS 12 或更高版本
-- Ubuntu 24.04+、Fedora 41+ 或 64 位 Arch Linux
-- Node.js 22.19+ 或 24.11+，以及随 Node 安装的 npm
-
-`rea setup` 会先显示完整变更计划并请求确认。它不会安装或更新 Homebrew、Node.js 或 npm。缺少 [Hopper](https://www.hopperapp.com/) 时，Setup 会提议安装官方软件包；Hopper 是需要单独许可证的独立软件。
-
-如果你已在 64 位 Linux 上安装 Ghidra 12.1.2 PUBLIC 和完整的 64 位 JDK 21，Setup 也可以在批准后登记 `GHIDRA_INSTALL_DIR` 和可选的 `JAVA_HOME`。REA 不会下载、安装或修改 Ghidra 或 Java。Ghidra provider 在隔离的只读 headless 会话中提供清单、反编译、汇编、调用关系、带类型的引用、xref、CFG 与函数 dossier；GUI 状态和修改操作仍不可用。
-
-#### Linux 安装与故障排除
-
-在 Ubuntu 24.04+、Fedora 41+ 和 64 位 Arch Linux 上，REA 会下载 Hopper 官方的 DEB、RPM 或 Arch 软件包，验证发布方提供的大小和校验和，然后通过 `apt-get`、`dnf` 或 `pacman` 安装依赖。非 root 运行时，`pkexec` 会显示系统授权提示；REA 不调用 `sudo`。
-
-默认启动器是 `/opt/hopper/bin/Hopper`。自定义安装可设置 `HOPPER_LAUNCHER_PATH`。如果 Doctor 报告缺少分析引擎，请运行 `ldd /opt/hopper/bin/Hopper | grep 'not found'`，安装缺少的系统库后重新运行 `rea setup`。REA 会在私有 Xvfb 显示器上运行受支持的 Hopper 演示版，并为每个分析会话选择 Hopper 提供的演示模式；无需桌面 `DISPLAY` 或付费许可证，但演示版受厂商限制。Linux 上还应确保 `~/.local/bin` 位于 `PATH` 中。
-
-```bash
-# 1. 安装和配置 REA
-curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/morluto/rea/main/install.sh | bash
-npx rea-agents setup
-```
-
-如果 macOS 或安装程序要求确认，请完成提示，然后再次运行同一命令。
-
-### 2. 重启编程智能体
-
-Setup 会检测 Claude Code、Claude Desktop、Codex、Cursor、Gemini CLI、Windsurf 和 Devin。它会自动配置检测到的前六种客户端；由于目前没有明确的本地 MCP 配置边界，检测到 Devin 时只会报告而不会修改。重启已配置的客户端，让它加载 REA。
-
-### 3. 直接询问智能体
-
-你可以直接说出应用名称。编程智能体会找到应用，并把 REA 所需的程序文件交给它。
-
-```text
-使用 REA 逆向工程“备忘录”应用。解释搜索功能的工作方式，展示证据，
-然后使用 SQLite 为我的项目构建一个类似功能。
-```
-
-如果遇到问题，请运行：
-
-```bash
-npx -y rea-agents@latest doctor
-rea uninstall
-rea uninstall --purge-data
-```
-
-## 一个提示词，完成一次完整调查
-
-```text
-逆向工程“备忘录”应用，找到离线搜索功能的工作方式，解释其控制流，
-并使用 TypeScript 和 SQLite 为我的项目构建一个版本。
-```
-
-| 步骤 | 智能体的操作           | REA 工具                                                         |
-| ---: | ---------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------- |
-|    1 | 打开并识别二进制文件   | `open_binary`, `binary_overview`                                 |
-|    2 | 搜索可能的离线搜索线索 | `search_strings`, `search_procedures`, `list_names`              |
-|    3 | 将线索连接到可执行代码 | `find_xrefs_to_name`, `xrefs`, `procedure_callers`               |
-|    4 | 重建相关控制流         | `get_call_graph`, `procedure_callees`, `procedure_info`          |
-|    5 | 反编译相关程序         | `procedure_pseudo_code`, `procedure_assembly`, `batch_decompile` |
-|    6 | 在你的项目中构建该功能 | 适合你的技术栈、产品和需求的代码                                 |
-
-REA 负责第 1–5 步中的二进制分析。第 6 步由智能体使用其常规文件编辑与测试工具完成。
-
-## 智能体可以完成什么
-
-- 在没有源代码时解释某项功能的实现方式。
-- 重建应用的身份验证、存储、更新或网络流程。
-- 恢复足够的结构，以记录未公开的格式或接口。
-- 从字符串或符号追踪到实现可疑行为的代码。
-- 在一个会话中切换两个应用版本并比较实现路径。
-- 调查你喜欢的功能，并为自己的产品构建量身定制的版本。
-- 将恢复的行为转换为产品功能、测试、迁移说明、移植代码或互操作替代品。
-- 分析 Swift 和 Objective-C 元数据。
-- 在 Hopper 中留下名称、注释与书签，使人与智能体的分析互相增强。

-## 与其他编程智能体一起使用
-
-Setup 会检测 Claude Code、Claude Desktop、Codex、Cursor、Gemini CLI、Windsurf 和 Devin，并自动配置检测到的前六种客户端；检测到 Devin 时只会报告而不会修改。任何支持本地 MCP 服务器的编程智能体都可以使用以下配置连接 REA。
-
-```json
-{
-  "mcpServers": {
-    "rea": {
-      "command": "npx",
-      "args": ["-y", "rea-agents@latest", "mcp"]
-    }
-  }
-}
-```
-
-## 工作原理
-
-```mermaid
-flowchart LR
-    Agent["编程智能体"] --> REA["REA<br/>CLI + MCP"]
-    Terminal["终端"] --> REA
-    REA --> Hopper["Hopper 分析操作"]
-    Hopper --> App["你的应用"]
-    REA --> Ghidra["Ghidra 只读分析<br/>清单 + 函数分析"]
-    Ghidra --> App
-```
-
-CLI 与 MCP 服务器使用相同的分析引擎。终端命令完成后会关闭应用；智能体会话则会在调查期间保持应用打开。
-
-## CLI
-
-上面的智能体工作流是使用 REA 最简单的方式。如果只想在终端中快速了解一个应用：
-
-```bash
-npx -y rea-agents@latest analyze /Applications/Notes.app
-```
-
-运行 `npx -y rea-agents@latest --help` 查看直接反编译和其他选项。
-
-也可以全局安装 `rea` 命令：
-
-```bash
-npm install --global rea-agents
-rea --help
-rea mcp
-```
-
-REA 可以直接打开 Mac 的 `.app` 文件夹。如果智能体找不到应用，请告诉它应用安装在哪里。
-
-## Hopper 应用行为
-
-REA 会在需要时启动 Hopper，无需预先运行。Hopper 启动器内部会激活应用，因此打开目标时 Hopper 可能出现在其他窗口前。REA 会请求 macOS 在后台启动 Hopper，但无法保证窗口始终位于后台。
-
-REA 会推导明确的格式和架构参数，以避免常见的 FAT 与 ARM 选择对话框。其他 Hopper 或 macOS 对话框仍可能需要人工响应。关闭 REA 会话会终止桥并删除私有套接字目录，但不会退出用户正在使用的 Hopper 应用。
-
-## 安全模型
-
-每个桥会话都使用随机能力令牌和仅限当前用户的 Unix 套接字。协议消息有大小限制，面向调用者的错误不会暴露启动器 stderr 或内部异常原因。Ghidra 会话还使用隔离的临时项目，不会打开或修改用户自己的 Ghidra 项目。
-
-这不是沙箱，也无法防御以同一操作系统用户身份运行的恶意进程。打开不可信二进制文件会让所选本地提供商以当前用户权限进行解析和分析。请按照 [SECURITY.md](SECURITY.md) 中的私密流程报告漏洞。
-
-## 常见问题
-
-<details><summary><strong>Hopper 是否需要提前运行？</strong></summary>
-
-不需要。REA 会在操作需要时启动 Hopper，也支持已经运行的 Hopper。
-
-</details>
-
-<details><summary><strong>REA 是否包含 Hopper？</strong></summary>
-
-不包含。Setup 可以为你安装 Hopper，但 Hopper 仍是需要单独授权的软件。REA 提供 CLI、MCP 服务器和面向智能体的工作流。
-
-</details>
-
-<details><summary><strong>REA 会上传我的二进制文件吗？</strong></summary>
-
-REA 不提供托管分析服务，而是通过本地 Unix 套接字把操作交给 Hopper。你的智能体或模型服务商可能有自己的数据政策，请单独核查。
-
-</details>
-
-<details><summary><strong>REA 能恢复原始源代码吗？</strong></summary>
-
-不能保证。REA 提供伪代码、汇编、符号、字符串、元数据和关系，智能体可据此解释或兼容地重建观察到的行为。

+REA authenticates its Hopper and Ghidra bridges with per-session random

+Two locked runtime releases, [`clean-git-ref@2.0.1`](https://github.com/TheSavior/clean-git-ref/tree/bf3c8afc8032bcdc6a53634c18b601dc6df478fb) (declared Apache-2.0) and
+[`minimisted@2.0.1`](https://github.com/kt3k/minimisted/tree/95fdfb8d6efb9546c1117854fe3a58105f6332ce) (declared MIT), omit a full license/copyright document in their
+published archives and inspected upstream release sources. Their runtime notice
+entries preserve the declared license and author metadata and include a clearly
+labeled standard license text. These are documented upstream notice gaps, not
+recovered copyright notices or a claim that attribution has been fully verified.
+
+The optional `frida@17.23.2` npm archive and tagged Node binding source also
+omit a standalone license/copyright document. Its declared
+`LGPL-2.0 WITH WxWindows-exception-3.1` license is recorded with unchanged
+[Frida licensing text](licenses/frida-17.23.2-COPYING.txt) and the
+[GNU Library GPL v2](licenses/LGPL-2.0.txt). These are licensing supplements,
+not recovered Node binding or prebuild-component copyright notices.
+
+## Open-source engine credits and licenses
+
+We thank the maintainers and contributors of the projects below. Their
+decompilers, binary-analysis engines, debuggers, parsers, and capture tools
+provide capabilities used through REA's integrations. Each row identifies the
+upstream project, its own license, and its role in REA. In particular, JADX
+provides the Android decompiler, while jadx-headless-mcp provides the separate
+headless integration used by REA; both projects deserve credit.
+
+These acknowledgments are voluntary thanks. Required upstream copyright and
+NOTICE texts remain in their original form and are not replaced by this
+summary. Credits do not imply endorsement or change any license.
+
+REA's adapters do not grant, replace, or waive these licenses. The upstream
+executables and their dependency graphs are supplied separately. Git submodules
+pin inspection sources; they are not included in the npm package.

Obtain rights for the required product, user, machine, decompiler, and automation interfaces. Availability of an API or a bridge does not grant hosting, service, or additional-user rights.                                                                                                                           |

+## Runtimes, development tooling, and fixtures
+
+REA uses a caller-supplied Node.js runtime ([MIT and component notices](https://github.com/nodejs/node/blob/main/LICENSE)).
+Optional workflows may also use Python ([PSF and component licenses](https://docs.python.org/3/license.html)),
+OpenJDK ([GPLv2 with Classpath Exception and component notices](https://openjdk.org/legal/)),
+Electron ([MIT and component notices](https://github.com/electron/electron/blob/main/LICENSE)),
+or a Chromium-based browser ([BSD-3-Clause and third-party licenses](https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/main/LICENSE)).
+These external installations are not licensed or bundled by REA's MIT license.
+
+Development, test, and website npm packages are included in the locked inventory.
+GitHub Actions, operating-system utilities, downloaded verification fixtures,
+and their runtimes retain the terms supplied by their publishers. Fixture
+identities and provenance are recorded under `scripts/fixtures/` and the
+existing `third_party/` records; downloaded executable fixtures are not tracked
+or included in the npm package. This notice does not claim to inventory every
+dependency of a caller's operating system, agent, or separately installed tool.
+
+## Maintaining and redistributing notices
+
+Refresh the dependency inventory and runtime notice collection when the lockfile
+changes. Review the actual versions and distributed contents, retain the
+upstream license and copyright texts, and account for optional platform
+packages. See [licenses/README.md](licenses/README.md) for source provenance,
+collection scope, and known upstream notice gaps.
+
+The npm package includes this document, the `licenses/` directory, and the
+existing redistributed license records under `third_party/`. If you additionally
+bundle an external engine or modify upstream code, review that actual
+distribution and retain its full applicable licenses, copyright notices,
+NOTICE files, modification notices, and source obligations. REA's inventory is
+not a substitute for those obligations.
