Current Scope and Maturity

Audience: evaluators and adopters
Status: Preview

Ophiolite’s public product identity is the local-first runtime for typed assets, execution, derived outputs, provenance/evidence, and persistence. The most important public automation surfaces are the CLI, Python automation, run bundles, governance logs, and review packets.

  • The Rust core is the canonical runtime and deepest implementation surface.
  • The CLI is the JSON-first automation and CI surface.
  • Python automation is a thin wrapper over CLI JSON operations, not a second SDK.
  • Run bundles and review packets are the proof artifacts; review packets are the preferred external interchange language.
  • Ophiolite Workbench is where humans inspect, review, approve, and export proof.

| Area | Maturity | Notes | | --- | --- | --- | | Canonical runtime semantics | Preview | Direction is stable even where APIs are still widening. | | CLI | Preview | Primary automation, proof, and CI surface. | | Python automation | Preview | Thin wrapper checked against the operation catalog. | | Install doctor | Preview | JSON output for local support and CI checks. | | Run bundles and review packets | Preview | Signed proof artifacts with event-chain and tamper checks. | | Rust embedding | Preview | Deepest and most exact surface. | | Ophiolite Workbench | Preview | Human inspection/review surface over runs, evidence, and governance. | | Logs/LAS slice | Preview | Deepest source-file maturity today; source files remain evidence, not product identity. | | Seismic runtime slices | Preview | Useful post-stack and gather paths exist, with family-specific scope limits. | | Workbench installer | Planned | First target is a signed Windows installer with a sample project path. |

Use Ophiolite today when:

  • you want a local-first infrastructure layer
  • you can tolerate preview-stage API evolution
  • you value one canonical runtime plus auditable proof artifacts over polished wrapper breadth

See System Requirements for the first support targets.
