Suggested path to test the ship / still-trust gate — not a full production rollout. No RuntimeAI account for steps 1–2. Deep docs: CI / CD.

Expectations

Suggested steps to test

  1. Belief (≤15 min, no key). Install → demo --interactive. Look for labeled DEMO chrome, a silent miss (suite mean can still look fine while a path blocks), and Coverage (Live / Seen ungated / Gap / Pending). Success = you understand the ship verdict — not that samples are your production suite.
  2. Your paths (OpenRouter key). Author contracts for paths you own, then run them: init --ci → edit the suite → suite run. Success = exit 0 / 2 / 1 on your bar, plus center.html / scorecard you can open offline. Prefer cheap models (e.g. gpt-4o-mini); frontier SKUs burn trial credits fast.
  3. Still-trust in CI (same sprint). Commit the stub, add OPENROUTER_API_KEY, mark the job required, get one green default-branch run, then a PR re-decide vs last ship. Success = the gate can block a bad change — not a hosted dashboard.

We are asking for feedback on this ritual — authoring friction, missing priors, CI surprises — not a polished enterprise rollout. Full guide when you need depth: /runtimeai/method/cicd.

Commands · step 1

Install

Python 3.10+. Prefer a venv. Confirm 0.1.18.

python3 -m pip install -U vantage-core
vantage-core --version          # expect 0.1.18

Commands · step 1 continued

Interactive demo

Sample fixtures only — not your ledger. Same story without a browser: demo --save decisions/ then open decisions/center.html. 

vantage-core demo --interactive
# → http://127.0.0.1:8767/  · labeled DEMO · no API key

Optional browser walkthrough (product site, no install): /runtimeai/demo.

Commands · steps 2–3

Live suite + CI

Needs OPENROUTER_API_KEY (openrouter.ai/keys). Prefer yours for lasting adopt. Without one yet: ask us for ~$10 trial credits. 

export OPENROUTER_API_KEY=sk-or-...
vantage-core init --ci
# edit contracts/ → suite validate → suite run --save decisions/
# mark the GitHub Actions job required on PRs

No RuntimeAI rai_live_… key for the gate. That key is only for the hosted API and optional vantage-core attest. FAQ: Do I need a RuntimeAI API key?

RuntimeAI short start — suggested test steps: (1) pip install + demo --interactive, no key; (2) init --ci + suite run with OPENROUTER_API_KEY; (3) required CI check. Full guide /runtimeai/method/cicd.
