A deterministic reproduction of the Claude Code MCP flow on Ubuntu 24.04, rendered offline by ubuntu-flow-mock.sh so it replays identically from a fresh checkout. Every action name, risk level and command shown is the one the catalogue carries. The same flow works in Cursor and Codex CLI. On an atomic host the plan uses rpm-ostree instead: the Fedora Atomic recording. Looking for the standalone CLI? See the CLI guide.
Describe what you want in plain language. Review a typed plan with risk
levels. Approve explicitly. Watch it execute with live output. Atomic-host
changes (rpm-ostree) roll back automatically on failure. Every action is
Ed25519-signed and audited.
Shortened. The full README is on GitHub.
Nothing above is checked by us. What we check is on the safety report.
