# BLIND TEST - home tower to friend's machine, no internet

The proof that matters: the whole system - app, engine, weights - lives in ONE zip
and runs cold on a machine you have never touched.

## AT HOME (online)

    pip install huggingface_hub requests
    huggingface-cli download Johnny5b/portable-ai-runner --repo-type dataset --local-dir CORTEX
    cd CORTEX
    python setup.py --model ornith        # 5.8 GB Ornith + 639 MB Qwen3-0.6B, sha256-verified
    python scripts/make_zip.py            # -> CORTEX-DRIVE-<date>.zip (~6.6 GB, zip sha256 printed)

Put BOTH on the USB stick: the zip, and the Python 3.12 Windows/macOS installer
(python.org/downloads) - then the friend machine needs no internet at all.

## AT THE FRIEND'S HOUSE (offline)

1. Copy the zip off the USB, unzip it to a folder (right-click -> Extract All).
2. If the machine has no Python: run the Python installer FROM THE USB STICK.
3. Double-click serve.py  (or:  python serve.py).  No pip, no internet needed -
   serve.py runs on the bare standard library; the LAN mesh just switches off.
4. Open Chrome -> http://localhost:8080
5. Models tab -> Scan -> Load next to Ornith-1.5-9B (needs ~16 GB RAM;
   on 8 GB machines use Qwen3-0.6B). It reads the GGUF from the folder -
   NO internet is touched. Engine pill must read: llama.cpp WASM - drive (offline).
6. Chat. Under every reply you will see:

       [TRACE:AWAKE] symbols=... files_read=... lookup_ms=...  |  [TRACE:GEN] tok=... tok_s=...

   Those lines are appended to memories/audit_ledger.jsonl on the drive.

## WHAT TO CHECK (the actual proof)

- engine pill says 'drive (offline)' - never CDN
- capThreads says multi-thread enabled (COOP/COEP ok)
- a trace line appears under every reply
- python -c "import json;print(json.loads(open('memories/audit_ledger.jsonl').readlines()[-1]))"
  shows your measurement traces
- turn off Wi-Fi before starting - nothing should care

## EXPECTED (honest)

- Ornith-9B browser load needs RAM: 16 GB comfortable, 8 GB risky (use Qwen3-0.6B).
- tok_s in the traces is UNMEASURED before tonight - whatever your friend's machine
  produces IS the first browser-tier measurement. Record it.
