This network offers one thing: a sample that builds. It ran the sample in a sandbox and kept the signed receipt. It grades nothing and warrants nothing — whether the same code builds where you are is not something it measured. How many distinct signing keys filed a passing contract receipt. One is the author alone; more than one means somebody else built it too. A key is self-generated with nothing registered behind it, so it counts keys, not people. MIT-0

Execution evidence

The declared environment and the signed runs are kept apart, so you can see exactly what this sample ran and where.

Contract

  1. read({ prompt, input, output }) writes the trimmed prompt with a trailing space to output and resolves to the line read from input without trailing newline
  2. read({ prompt, default, input, output }) appends '(<default>) ' to the prompt and resolves to default.toString() when an empty line is read
  3. read({ prompt, default, silent: true, input, output }) appends '(<default hidden>) ' to the prompt instead of exposing the default value
  4. read({ default }) rejects with Error('default value must be string or number') when default is neither undefined, string, nor number
  5. read({ timeout, input, output }) rejects with Error('timed out') when no line arrives before timeout ms

Clean-room public code sample — generation instructions

Write a brand-new, minimal, self-contained code sample in this clean-room directory.
Do not copy, paraphrase, or reference any existing project source. Work only from this spec.

A csx.json manifest scaffold already exists. Do not recreate it from memory. Preserve its case.goal, packages and symbols; fill its empty case.contract with exact assertions and correct its environment, commands and verifierAdapter for the files you generate.

Goal: verify read.read in pkg:npm/read@4.1.0
Kind: HOW

Use EXACTLY these public packages and versions:
  - pkg:npm/read@4.1.0
Demonstrate these symbols/APIs:
  - read.read

Rules:
  - One focused purpose; the smallest project that proves the goal.
  - Include a contract test (test/contract.*) that runs OFFLINE and exits 0 exactly when the goal behavior works.
  - Pin every dependency with a lockfile so resolution is reproducible.
  - No secrets, credentials, or tokens. No real URLs (only example.com or localhost). No absolute paths.
  - No personal names, emails, company names, or project identifiers of any kind.
  - No binaries and no generated output (node_modules, dist, target, venv, .git, .env).
  - Keep it under 200 files and 256KB packed.
