Trust

Stability & open engine

Alpha software with a narrow lane · we document what each check does and does not do · and we keep the receipt format steady while you build habit.

Engine: 0.4.0-alpha · updated 2026-09-10

What we promise

Check IDs & Battle Scout shape

Through three minor versions after 0.4.0-alpha (up to 0.7.x-alpha):

• Existing check IDs stay valid · renames get deprecation aliases.
• innsegall-battle-scout-ai/v1 paste format stays supported · new fields may be added · required fields are not removed without a major bump.
• Verdict enums LIKELY_OK · FIX_LIST · ESCALATE are stable.

Local-first

• Scout runs stay read-only on your Macintosh by default.
• We do not upload Battle Scout bodies, paths, or filenames.
• Anonymous telemetry is category counts only · opt out: innsegall plan --telemetry-off or INNSEGALL_TELEMETRY=0 · see Privacy.

Maintenance cadence

• Engine tags when checks or paste format change · CHANGELOG on GitHub.
• Battle Scout footer lists looked at · does not cover · and why it matters per check.
• Field Report blog · triage trends · not a substitute for release notes.

Open engine

The Innsegall CLI and check engine are MIT licensed on GitHub:

github.com/SP-Q26/innsegall

Read the catalog: src/check-catalog.mjs in the repo. Community standards: Code of Conduct.

Install paths

• Alpha curl: curl -fsSL https://innsegall.com/scripts/innsegall-alpha-install.sh | bash
• Homebrew (tap): see packaging/homebrew/innsegall.rb in the repo · brew tap SP-Q26/innsegall && brew install innsegall when the tap is published.

Major version breaks

We bump major (e.g. 1.0.0) when a check ID is removed without alias, or when AI paste requires migration. We will announce at least 14 days before retiring v1 paste support.
