What This Is

SEMPTRACE is not a formatter, linter, or IDE plugin.

It is a structural analysis layer that sits around human and AI coding workflows.

It answers questions like:

• Is this code structurally sound before I trust it?

• Did an AI change something it shouldn’t have?

• Where are the real execution boundaries — not just the visible ones?

What You Get

✅ Module 1 — Whitespace & Invisible Character Scanner

Detects:

• Tabs vs spaces

• Mixed indentation

• Trailing whitespace

• Zero-width / non-printing characters

These issues are silent, common, and frequently introduced by AI tools.

✅ Module 3a — Deterministic Nodules + Continuity Graph

• Segments Python code into structural nodules

• Builds a deterministic continuity graph

(next / child / sibling / exit edges)

• No AST

• No heuristics

• Same input → same structure, every time

This is what makes SEMPTRACE usable as a governance layer, not just a checker.

✅ Minimal CLI (Terminal-First)

semptrace your_file.py

semptrace --json your_file.py

Designed to work:

• Locally

• In CI

• Alongside AI coding agents

• Without IDE lock-in

What This Is Not

❌ Not a formatter (does not rewrite your code)

❌ Not a linter replacement

❌ Not an AI code generator

❌ Not a security scanner that promises “safe code”

SEMPTRACE reveals structure.

What you do with that visibility is up to you.

Why This Exists

AI coding tools are fast — but they:

• Don’t see invisible structure

• Drift indentation and scope

• Make large, confident changes that humans struggle to audit

SEMPTRACE gives you a shared structural truth between:

• Humans

• AI assistants

• CI pipelines

It’s a missing layer in modern coding workflows.

Who This Is For

• Developers using Claude / ChatGPT / Cursor / Copilot

• Vibe coders who want guardrails without complexity

• Teams reviewing AI-generated pull requests

• Anyone who has ever thought:

“I think this code is fine… but I’m not 100% sure.”

Installation

unzip semptrace-core-v0.zip

cd semptrace-core

python -m venv .venv

Design Principles

• Deterministic over clever

• Visibility over enforcement

• Human-readable over “AI magic”

• Works on existing codebases

• Safe to run anywhere

Roadmap (Non-Binding)

This is a v0 foundation.

Future modules may include:

This product stands on its own.

License & Use

• Use in personal, commercial, or internal projects

• No tracking

• No telemetry

• No network calls

Final Note

SEMPTRACE doesn’t try to replace your tools.

It gives you something most tools ignore:

Structural awareness in an AI-first coding world.
