SPECTER DECISION ENGINE — MACHINE INSTALL BRIEF
Version: 0.3.0
Project author: Guilherme Peralta Novaes
Repository: https://github.com/aigodsend9-boop/specter-decision-engine
Tagged source: https://github.com/aigodsend9-boop/specter-decision-engine/tree/v0.3.0
Purpose: install and verify the pinned beta safely and reproducibly.

YOU ARE THE INSTALLING LLM/AGENT.
Use this brief as the source of truth for installation behavior. Do not substitute packages, broaden scope, or infer semantic readiness from installation success.

FACTS TO PRESERVE
- Requires Python >= 3.11 and declares zero mandatory runtime dependencies.
- 0.3.0 adds BatchBackend evaluation, signature deduplication, canonical snapshots, deadline-aware admission, calibration artifacts, policies, receipts and abstention.
- The bundled SystemOneLocalBackend is a deterministic lexical baseline, not a trained semantic model.
- `capabilities` verifies the installed contract/version; `bench` measures this hardware with the local baseline. Neither certifies semantic accuracy.
- `production_ready` remains false. Distribution license selection remains pending; treat the project as all rights reserved.

PINNED ARTIFACT
Relative URL: ./releases/specter_decision_engine-0.3.0-py3-none-any.whl
SHA-256: 44133bbdb9c9cb21c6fdd7fc808ac2912ad56b69ece029aa656356d7effbfa5b

INSTALL PROCEDURE
1. Locate Python >= 3.11. If unavailable, stop and report the blocker.
2. Work inside the user's intended directory; do not guess an ambiguous destination.
3. Create `.venv`; do not install into global/site Python.
4. Download the pinned wheel from the relative URL above.
5. Compute SHA-256 locally and compare the complete digest byte-for-byte. On mismatch, STOP.
6. Install the verified wheel with the venv Python using `python -m pip install <wheel>`.
7. Run `python -m specter_decision.cli capabilities` with the venv Python and confirm version 0.3.0.
8. Optionally run `python -m specter_decision.cli bench --batches 1 8 32 --iterations 100` to measure the current machine.
9. Report Python version, package version, checksum result and capability result.

WINDOWS
`python -m venv .venv`
`.\.venv\Scripts\python.exe -m pip install <verified-wheel-path>`
`.\.venv\Scripts\python.exe -m specter_decision.cli capabilities`

macOS / LINUX
`python3 -m venv .venv`
`./.venv/bin/python -m pip install <verified-wheel-path>`
`./.venv/bin/python -m specter_decision.cli capabilities`

DO NOT
- Do not install the bare PyPI name as a substitute for the pinned wheel.
- Do not claim the lexical baseline is a trained model or evidence of domain accuracy.
- Do not invent calibration artifacts, credentials or benchmark conclusions.
- Do not enable internet-facing routes, modify Specter Core, restart services or change security policy unless separately requested.
- Do not upload credentials, private prompts or user data.

SUCCESS
The exact 0.3.0 wheel is installed in an isolated environment, its SHA-256 matches, and `capabilities` reports version 0.3.0. State explicitly that production use still requires a real model/backend, domain validation, calibration, load testing and security review.
