How to build the companion from source and audit its claims with Apeireth

Compile the CLI and desktop app, then check the README's honest boundaries against the code.

Who it is forA developer or reviewer who wants to verify the project's claims before trusting it with personal data.

The problemA companion that handles private memory should be checked against its own stated limits, not taken on faith.

The outcomeA local build of the CLI and desktop app, plus a written list of which boundaries you confirmed in code.

What you need first

  • A Windows PC for the installer path, or Windows, Linux, or macOS with the source build steps in INSTALL.md
  • An API key from one of the supported providers (OpenAI-compatible, MiniMax, or Anthropic)
  • For source builds: Git, rustup 1.97.1, and VS Build Tools 2022 as listed in INSTALL.md

Steps

  1. Run winget install Git.Git, then follow INSTALL.md to install rustup 1.97.1 and VS Build Tools 2022.
  2. Run cargo build --release -p apeireth-cli from the repo root.
  3. Run cd frontend/companion-desktop && pnpm install && pnpm tauri build.
  4. Search the source for STUB_MODE, not_assembled, and /v1/ws to confirm the WebSocket and SDK boundaries the README describes. (inferred, check the README)

Prompt for your agent

In the Apeireth repo at <repo path>, build the apeireth-cli crate and then search for STUB_MODE and the /v1/ws route. Expected output: a successful release build and the file locations of each match. Verify that the SDK stub and the missing WebSocket route match the README's Honest boundaries section.

Caveat. The README's badge counts are hand-maintained snapshots, so confirm each boundary in the code rather than trusting the numbers.
