1. Terminal Architecture Flow & Scorecard (cz scan .)

Cohzen traverses your repository's AST, discovers LangGraph StateGraph workflows, links node handlers to LLM invocations and @tool bindings, and displays a crisp architecture report:

2. Automated Pull Request Architecture Gate

In CI/CD, Cohzen posts an automated scorecard directly on pull requests to prevent unmonitored agent drifts:

### 🛡️ Cohzen Agent Architecture & Telemetry Audit

| Status | Metric | Value |
|:---:|:---|:---|
| 🟢 | **Architecture Scan** | 1 graph · 4 nodes · 5 edges |
| 🟢 | **Telemetry Coverage** | 100% (4/4 nodes instrumented) |
| 🔍 | **Active Tracers** | LangSmith (`LANGCHAIN_TRACING_V2=true`) |
| ⚠️ | **Checkpointer** | MemorySaver (In-memory only — state lost on restart) |

🚀 Installation

Install Cohzen via pip, uv, or pipx:

# Using pip
pip install cohzen

# Using uv
uv add cohzen

# As an isolated global CLI with pipx
pipx install cohzen

Note: Once installed, both cz and cohzen command aliases are available in your terminal.

🔍 CLI Commands

For detailed flags and subcommands, run cz --help or cz <command> --help.

🛡️ GitHub Action Usage

Enforce architecture hygiene and telemetry coverage in CI/CD by adding the official composite action to your repository's workflow (.github/workflows/agent-gate.yml):

name: Agent Architecture Gate

on:
  pull_request:
    branches: [main]

jobs:
  cohzen-gate:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    permissions:
      contents: read
      pull-requests: write # Required if comment-pr is true
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v4
      - uses: actions/setup-python@v5
        with:
          python-version: "3.11"
      - run: pip install cohzen

      - name: Cohzen Agent Architecture & Telemetry Gate
        uses: cohzenai/cohzen@v0.3.0
        with:
          path: "."
          min-coverage: "80"
          fail-on-missing-telemetry: "true"
          comment-pr: "true"

See the complete CI/CD Integration Guide for full action inputs, outputs, and multi-directory examples.

🧩 Support Matrix

Cohzen is continuously tested across the following matrix:

See docs/supported-frameworks.md for the complete list of supported LLM detectors (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Groq, Grok, LiteLLM) and observability providers (LangSmith, Langfuse, Arize Phoenix, Traceloop, AgentOps, W&B Weave).

🔒 Privacy & Data Handling

Cohzen is built on strict local-first and zero-egress principles:

1. Zero Network Egress: Cohzen never transmits source code, prompts, state values, or execution data across the network. All static analysis, manifest generation, and runtime capture occur purely on your local machine.
2. Local SQLite Storage: When local capture is enabled (cz init or cz capture), runtime records are stored in a local SQLite database (.cohzen/executions.db) that is automatically added to your .gitignore.
3. Automatic Secret Redaction: Before runtime payloads are committed to SQLite, Cohzen runs sensitive keys through a redaction processor that scrubs passwords, API keys, bearer tokens, private keys, and credential patterns (AWS, OpenAI, GitHub, Anthropic).
4. Configurable Retention: Control data volume via .cohzen/config.toml with strict caps on payload size (max_payload_bytes), run history (max_runs), and age (max_age_days).
5. Fail-Open Architecture: Runtime hooks fail open: if any capture error or database write occurs, your application execution continues unaffected without raising exceptions.

See SECURITY.md for our full security and vulnerability disclosure policy.

⚠️ Limitations & Honest Boundaries

To maintain trust and predictability, here is what Cohzen does not do:

• Static AST Limitations: cz scan inspects source code without importing or executing it. It cannot resolve dynamically constructed node names (e.g. graph.add_node(eval(var))), graphs assembled from remote network responses, or runtime metaprogramming.
• LangGraph Focus: Static scanning is currently optimized for LangGraph applications. Support for LlamaIndex Workflows, CrewAI, and AutoGen is in design and scheduled on our ROADMAP.md.
• Local Development Capture: The runtime capture engine is designed for local developer iteration, testing, and debugging. It is not intended as a multi-tenant, high-throughput production APM.
• Manifest Stability: cz scan --json emits the immutable CohzenManifest v0.1 specification. Manifest schemas are strictly versioned (see docs/manifest.md).

🧪 Testing

Cohzen maintains a rigorous test suite of unit tests, integration tests, runtime hooks, and real-world fixture projects:

# Run all 114 tests
pytest tests/ -v

# Run with test coverage (78% suite coverage)
pytest --cov=cz --cov-report=term-missing tests/

Includes 10 real-world architectural fixture projects under tests/fixtures/real_world/ verifying single-file graphs, multi-module graphs, tool binding, conditional routing, subgraphs, and dynamic fallbacks.
