Run

chmod +x start-linux.sh
./start-linux.sh

Windows: double-click start.bat. The launcher finds Python 3.10+, starts the secure loopback GUI and opens the one-time bootstrap page in your default browser.

Enterprise foundations (v0.7.0)

• Db2 DDL-to-copybook compatibility checks
• Db2, CICS, and MQ resource inventories
• Offline Zowe/zOSMF submission-plan validation (dry-run only)
• CycloneDX-style offline SBOM
• In-toto-style local attestations with optional HMAC-SHA256 signing
• Three new GUI workbenches: Enterprise resources, DB2 compatibility, SBOM

Boundaries

This release does not connect to Db2, CICS, MQ, Zowe, or z/OSMF. Inventories and compatibility checks are static local analysis. Submission plans are validation-only. HMAC attestations provide shared-secret integrity, not public-key release signing. Production submission still requires an approved integration service, TLS trust, RBAC, a vault, independent review, and representative estate validation.
