fanbase-cli

The fanbase command and the metric engine behind it.

fanbase list                          # formats in the registry
fanbase search png                    # find formats and lineages
fanbase show png/base/normal-...@v1   # provenance and metrics for one revision
fanbase install png                   # materialise into Fandango's include path

The registry itself lives in the fanbase repository; this package reads it and never depends on any upstream corpus. Point it at a checkout with --registry, or set FANBASE_REGISTRY.

Metrics require the metrics extra (pip install -e '.[metrics]'), which pulls in Fandango. Loading a spec executes its Python, so every measurement runs in an isolated subprocess under a timeout.
