## Release status

Specgent is pre-release. The distribution version is 0.3.0, but no version has
been published, so there is no released package and no supported-version matrix
yet. These pages describe the product as implemented and gated in continuous
integration, not as released.

## Supported platforms

| Requirement      | Supported                  |
| ---------------- | -------------------------- |
| Operating system | macOS or Linux             |
| Node.js          | 22 (22.13 or later) or 24  |
| Python           | 3.11 to 3.14               |
| Claude Code      | 2.1.x                      |
| Git              | required for the workspace |

Windows is not covered, and no Windows claim is made. Git is required because
the workspace scan reads tracked and untracked files and records repository
identity.

Specgent installs into a workspace you already have. It does not create one, and
it writes only inside `.specgent/` and `.claude/`.

## What local operation covers

"Local" covers four separate properties. Three hold and one does not.

| Property                           | Status                    | What it means                                                                                                                     |
| ---------------------------------- | ------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Local-first operation              | Holds                     | No account, remote service, daemon, telemetry endpoint or container; runs, evidence and the store are files under the workspace   |
| Air-gapped installation            | Holds, with staged inputs | Installable from frozen package caches on a host with no network egress, once its inputs are staged                               |
| Offline deterministic verification | Holds                     | The default verification checks take no input from outside the repository beyond the toolchain and a short list of declared sites |
| Offline model execution            | Does not hold             | Model reasoning belongs to the Claude Code host, and Specgent supplies no local inference provider                                |

The deterministic engine and validation run with no network, but end-to-end
authoring is not established offline, because the authoring steps depend on the
model host.
