Pre-release

This release is a pre-release and may not be stable for production use.

Nauro Ballast

Context audit for coding-agent transcripts. Reads your local Claude Code and Codex CLI session logs and produces your context bill: what filled your context windows, where documented compactions happened, what survived them, and what did not.

Status: pre-release alpha. An open-source Nauro project (Apache-2.0).

What it does

  • nauro-ballast census: a share-safe census over ~/.claude/projects and ~/.codex/sessions: sessions, composition by category, peak context sizes, documented compaction events, context wall-hits, and inferred session-boundary structure. Counts only; no transcript content in the output.
  • nauro-ballast match: the absence matcher. For every documented compaction boundary it reconstructs the post-compaction context exactly as the harness defines it and reports, per pre-boundary message, what remained lexically reachable.

Claim discipline

Findings are tiered and the tiers are never pooled:

  • DETECTED-ABSENCE (Claude Code documented boundaries): a message with no verbatim or near-verbatim match in the reconstructed context at the boundary. Lexical absence, reported as such; never a claim about model behavior. Re-supply later in the session is counted separately.
  • AT-RISK (Codex): the compaction item is encrypted by design, so items not among the kept plaintext are reported as exposure, never as absence.
  • INFERRED (both): heuristics (token discontinuities, rapid-successor sessions), always labeled.

Privacy

Fully local, offline, zero network calls, no account. The default report is share-safe: counts, categories, and truncated identifiers only. Verbatim excerpts require an explicit --with-excerpts flag and pass a redaction filter (keys, tokens, emails, paths) first.

Install
