zenzic 0.8.0

Engineering-grade, engine-agnostic static analyzer and credential scanner for Markdown documentation

Deterministic audit of documentation structures with bidirectional traceability.
Tiered code governance, frozen security contracts, and RE2-backed deterministic scanning.

---

⚡ Try it now — Zero Installation

Got a folder of Markdown files? Run an instant security and link audit using uv:

uvx zenzic check all ./your-folder

Zenzic identifies your engine via its configuration files or defaults to Standalone Mode for plain Markdown folders — providing immediate protection for links, credentials, and file integrity.

---

🚀 Quick Start

pip install zenzic
cd my-docs-repo
zenzic init       # Establish the workspace boundary (creates zenzic.toml)
zenzic check all  # Audit the current directory

🧠 Core Pillars

• Pure, deterministic engine: identical inputs produce identical findings and exits.
• Tiered code model: Core, Structure, and Governance findings separated by ownership bands.
• Frozen contracts for integrators: FROZEN_CODES, NON_SUPPRESSIBLE_CODES, and PLUGIN_FORBIDDEN_EXITS provide stable enforcement surfaces for CI and plugins.
• Inspect-first workflow: use zenzic inspect codes to validate live code semantics before touching docs or release notes.

⚙️ Commands Overview

Command	Purpose
zenzic init	Scaffold workspace configuration (.zenzic.toml)
zenzic check all [PATH]	Full documentation audit — links, credentials, orphans
zenzic score [--fail-under N] [--stamp]	Compute the Documentation Quality Score (0–100)
zenzic diff [--base PATH]	Detect debt regression against a saved baseline
zenzic guard scan [PATH]	Defense-in-Depth credential pre-gate (always fatal)
zenzic inspect codes	Query live error-code semantics and suppressibility

---

🚀 CI/CD Ready: Use the Official Zenzic Action to run Zenzic in GitHub Actions — findings surface directly in Code Scanning, PR annotations, and the Security tab.

🔌 Multi-Engine Support

Engine	Adapter	Highlights
Docusaurus v3	DocusaurusAdapter	Versioned docs, @site/ alias, Ghost Route detection
MkDocs	MkDocsAdapter	i18n suffix + folder modes, fallback_to_default
Zensical	ZensicalAdapter	Transparent Proxy bridges mkdocs.yml
Any folder	StandaloneAdapter	File integrity checks — orphan detection disabled without a nav contract

See the Adapter API for the plugin interface. Third-party adapters install via the zenzic.adapters entry-point group.
