Evidence mode

corpus

Source scopes

Foundry capability category selected by the requested primitive · implementation and interface evidence · maintenance, adoption, security, and license evidence · counter-examples across language and scale

Answer shape

A context-specific ranked shortlist with interface fit, evidence grade, rights gate, adoption cost, and explicit reasons not to choose each candidate.

Refresh policy

Re-answer when the category gains a high-signal implementation, a selected project materially changes, or security and rights evidence changes.
