the source
The code opens with the doors.
brasslamp's full source is public at github.com/brasslamp-app/brasslamp — under the PolyForm Shield license: read it, run it, write books you sell with it; the software itself isn't for resale.
Reading the code before you trust it is exactly the right instinct — it's the whole reason this is source-available. These commitments were stated before the repo opened; now you can hold us to them line by line:
the Python standard library, and nothing else — no framework, no vector DB, nothing to pip install
1,200+ automated checks that run fully offline — no network, no model, no browser
no telemetry, no account, no update checks — the only traffic is to the model endpoint you configure — with one opt-in exception: the optional PDF/Word export libraries are fetched from PyPI only if you click to install them, into your data folder, once
one non-negotiable content floor, pinned in a prompt file you can read
