fred-core 3.4.1

Core shared utilities for Fred backends (config, storage, security, and runtime helpers).

Fred Core

fred-core is the shared utility layer for Fred backends. It centralizes the foundational building blocks that must stay consistent across services.

What it provides

• Configuration helpers used by multiple backends.
• Storage and session primitives.
• Security and access-control utilities (ReBAC helpers, Keycloak helpers).
• Common runtime helpers (logging, KPI, scheduling utilities).

What it is not

• A full runtime or service on its own.
• A public SDK for agent authoring (that is fred-sdk).

Install

pip install fred-core

Usage (example)

Fred backends import shared helpers from fred_core to keep configuration and behavior aligned:

import logging

from fred_core.common.config_files import ConfigFiles

logger = logging.getLogger("fred")
config_files = ConfigFiles(logger=logger)
env_path = config_files.load_environment()
yaml_path = config_files.resolve_config_file_path()

Notes

fred-core is designed for internal Fred services and adapters. If you are building agents or workflows, you likely want fred-sdk instead. In most cases, end users should not install fred-core directly because it is pulled in transitively by fred-sdk.

Development validation

• make test runs the default offline test suite.
• make coverage-offline runs the canonical offline coverage command with terminal missing-line output.
