How Code Guardian is built
Requirements, architecture, network traffic, files, configuration, update API and measurements. Verified against the shipped release.
Describes version v17.1
Requirements and platforms
Python, Bash, git, jq. macOS, Linux, Windows via Git Bash or entirely in WSL 2.
02Architecture
Skills, gates, review agents: who steps in when.
03What runs locally, what goes out
No telemetry. One throttled git fetch against your own repository.
04Files in your project and home directory
What the package creates, and where.
05Configuration
The keys of code-guardian.conf and the environment variables.
06Update API
Three endpoints, one key. How an installation fetches new versions.
07Measurements and limits
Controlled comparison runs with method and the complete tally. And what the package cannot do.
