Test record · November 14, 2026
What is tested, and what is not yet.
We keep one record of what the software has actually been seen to do, and we publish it. A claim on this site is allowed only if it has a row here. Nothing has been tested on a customer device yet, and the record says so.
- Run on our build server
- A real run of the real software on the server that builds each edition, standing in for the customer's device.
- Automated test
- Checked by a test that runs every time the code changes.
- Not yet tested
- Written, but not yet run on the real device. We do not claim it works until it has been.
Working with no internet
| Capability | Status | How we know |
|---|---|---|
| The library, search, place search and maps answer with all outside network access blocked | Run on our build server | The preview runs under a rule that denies every address except the machine itself. An outside download address timed out; the library answered. |
| The browser asks nothing outside the library | Run on our build server | The map page was loaded in a fresh browser: 19 requests, all to the library, none failed. |
| The reader bundle contains no outside addresses | Automated test | An audit of the built reader runs on every build. |
Reading and searching
| Capability | Status | How we know |
|---|---|---|
| English and Spanish search, including a Spanish query finding English articles | Run on our build server | A search for “monóxido de carbono” returned the Spanish articles and the English ones for carbon monoxide. |
| Encyclopedia articles open inside the reader | Run on our build server | The Spanish medical encyclopedia was read through the reader on a separate, sandboxed address. |
| Draft cards are never shown as guidance, and sold editions carry no drafts | Automated test | The release build refuses them; the current drafts are labelled as unreviewed. |
| Search inside PDF documents | Not yet tested | Documents are found by title today. Text search inside them is not built yet. |
Maps
| Capability | Status | How we know |
|---|---|---|
| Street-level map display with local fonts and icons, coverage boundary and data date | Run on our build server | Arlington and Fort Worth rendered with labels, icons and road shields; a town outside coverage showed the warning. |
| Place search for Texas, tolerant of missing accents and partial names | Run on our build server | “San Anto”, “Grand Prairie” and “leon valley” each found the right place. |
| Turn-by-turn directions | Not yet tested | Not included. Distances are straight lines and the map says so. |
Integrity of each edition
| Capability | Status | How we know |
|---|---|---|
| Every download is checked against the publisher's own checksum | Run on our build server | 14 objects verified against published SHA-256 or MD5 digests before entering the store. |
| The edition is signed and the reader checks the signature | Run on our build server | The reader reports a valid signature. Today's key is a development key; sold editions use a production key made offline. |
| An edition copied to a drive is read back and compared file by file | Run on our build server | 858 of 858 files re-hashed from the copy. |
| A release cannot contain secrets, household data or unlisted files | Automated test | The release audit fails the build if it finds any. |
On the real hardware
| Capability | Status | How we know |
|---|---|---|
| The box's own Wi-Fi: joining from iPhone, Android, tablets and laptops | Not yet tested | The installer is written. It has not run on a Raspberry Pi yet. |
| Start-up time from a cold power-on | Not yet tested | Will be measured ten times and published. |
| Ten devices reading and searching at once | Not yet tested | Will be measured for fifteen minutes with temperature and throttling recorded. |
| Power draw and battery runtime | Not yet tested | Will be measured with a meter. No battery figure is claimed before then. |
| Recovery after power is pulled mid-search | Not yet tested | Planned: pull power, restart, verify the edition. |
| Library Drive on Windows, macOS and Linux | Not yet tested | Built for all three. Not yet run on the target computers, and not yet code-signed for Windows and macOS. |
| First-time users reaching an article within three minutes | Not yet tested | Pilot households have not started. |
