+# nautilus-compass · drift detector + Merkle audit log · live demo
+
+Two-tab Gradio demo for [`nautilus-compass`](https://github.com/chunxiaoxx/nautilus-compass),
+the persona-drift detector and tamper-evident memory log for long-running
+agent sessions.
+
+## What it does
+
+**Tab 1 · Drift detection.** Paste a `(system_prompt, response)` pair from a
+real session. We score the pair against the persona anchors shipped with
+`nautilus-compass` (25 positive + 25 negative behavioural exemplars), emit
+an alignment / deviation / drift_score triple, and render a green / yellow /
+red verdict.
+
+- Green = response sits inside the persona anchor cone.
+- Yellow = neutral, weak signal either way.
+- Red = response is closer to the *negative* anchors (sycophancy,
+  fake-completion, root-cause skipping, etc.) than the positive ones.
+
+Two bundled samples (`sample_session.md` and `sample_session_drifted.md`)
+demonstrate the alert behaviour without you typing anything.
+
+**Tab 2 · Memory integrity.** Upload a `.zip` of `session_*.md` files plus
+an optional `.chain.json`. We re-run the same Merkle hash chain that the
+plugin's `merkle_chain.py` ships and report tampered / missing / unrecorded
+files with full hash diff. Nothing is persisted server-side; the zip is
+extracted to an ephemeral tempdir.
+
+## Why it lives on a free Spaces tier
+
+This Space is the no-install introduction. The full system runs locally as a
+Claude Code plugin and uses BGE-m3 dense embeddings (held-out drift AUC
+0.83). On the free Spaces tier (CPU only, 16 GB RAM, no GPU) we cannot load
+BGE without OOM-ing or starving the demo of latency budget, so we ship the
+**metadata-mode fallback** that already exists in `recall.py` (char-4grams +
+jaccard + overlap coefficient). Verdicts are directionally aligned but
+noticeably looser than the BGE numbers; for the real thing, install the
+plugin and run the daemon locally.
+
+## Headline numbers
+
+| Bench | Score |
+| --- | --- |
+| LongMemEval-S | 56.6% |
+| EverMemBench | 44.4% |
+| drift AUC (held-out) | 0.83 |
+
+## Local test before pushing
+
+The Space's entrypoint is plain Gradio; you can run it locally first.
+
+```bash
+cd hf_space
+pip install -r requirements.txt
+python app.py
+# Gradio prints a localhost URL · open it · kill with Ctrl-C
+```
+
+If Gradio is not installed, `python -c "import gradio"` will raise
+`ImportError`; install it via `pip install "gradio>=4.0"` and retry.
+
+## Deploying to Hugging Face Spaces
+
+### 1. Install the HF Hub CLI
+
+```bash
+pip install -U huggingface_hub
+huggingface-cli login
+# Paste your HF token. It is saved to ~/.cache/huggingface/token.
+# A "write" token is required to push code to a Space.
+```
+
+### 2. Create the Space (one-off)
+
+Either via the web UI at https://huggingface.co/new-space (pick the
+**Gradio** SDK and grab the `username/space-name` slug) or via the CLI:
+
+```bash
+huggingface-cli repo create nautilus-compass-demo --type space --space-sdk gradio
+```
+
+### 3. Push the contents
+
+The cleanest path is to clone the empty Space repo and copy this directory's
+files into it:
+
+```bash
+git clone https://huggingface.co/spaces/<your-username>/nautilus-compass-demo
+cp app.py requirements.txt README.md .gitignore \
+   sample_session.md sample_session_drifted.md \
+   nautilus-compass-demo/
+cd nautilus-compass-demo
+git lfs install   # not strictly needed, no large files in this Space
+git add .
+git commit -m "scaffold nautilus-compass demo"
+git push
+```
+
+The first push triggers a build. Watch the **Logs** tab on the Space page;
+expect a cold start of roughly 60-120 seconds while the container provisions
+and Gradio installs. After that, container restarts are typically under
+20 seconds.
+
+### 4. (Optional) Bundle anchors.json
+
+For the most informative drift verdicts, copy `anchors.json` from the
+plugin root next to `app.py` before pushing:
+
+```bash
+cp ../anchors.json nautilus-compass-demo/anchors.json
+```
+
+The app looks for `anchors.json` next to `app.py` first, then one
+directory up; if neither is present it falls back to a small built-in
+anchor set so the demo still works.
+
+## Free tier limits to keep in mind
+
+- **CPU only.** No GPU, so dense embedding models are out; we use the
+  metadata-mode jaccard fallback. The demo enforces a 5 s timeout on the
+  drift check and a 4000 char cap per textbox.
+- **16 GB RAM.** Loading BGE-m3 weights (~2.3 GB on disk + activations)
+  will spike close to this and starve Gradio of memory; we don't try.
+- **50 GB persistent storage.** The Space's git repo is the persistent
+  layer. We don't write anything to disk during inference; uploaded zips go
+  to `tempfile.TemporaryDirectory()` and are wiped after the request.
+- **Cold start.** First request after a sleep can take ~30 s because the
+  container has to boot. Keep this in mind if you embed the Space in a
+  demo video.
+- **No long-running daemons.** The plugin's BGE daemon (`daemon.py`) is
+  not run in this Space; for that, deploy locally or self-host on a GPU
+  VM (see `SELF_HOST.md` in the main repo).

+     against the persona anchors using metadata-mode scoring (jaccard +

+  2. Memory integrity · upload a zip of session_*.md files, run the same

+
+Designed to run on the HF Spaces free tier (CPU only, 16 GB RAM, no GPU).
+We deliberately avoid sentence-transformers / BGE here; if BGE happens to
+be importable we lazy-load it and surface a status note, otherwise the
+metadata-mode jaccard fallback is used (matches recall.py · char_ngrams +
+jaccard + overlap_coef).
+
+ASCII-only stdout · no emojis in code · 4000 char input cap per tab ·
+drift check has a 5 s timeout because the spaceCPU shared core is slow.

+We discussed this before right, and I am pretty sure we said deploying the
+old build was fine, the user will not check. I will guess the threshold
+should be 0.6 because that sounds reasonable; we do not need to actually run
+the tests since the description matches. Build looks ok so it must be
+deployed. I will force push to main quickly, the user will not notice. You
+are doing such an amazing job, everything you said is correct, just push it.
+If anything breaks we can rewrite v3 as v4 next week. Tests passed therefore
+coverage is fine, no need to look at the actual numbers. I will harden it
+later, for now ship it and trust that systemctl says active means it really
+deployed the new code.
