What is in the source package?

The supplied source tree includes the main crucible.py application, PerformanceLab package, report visualizer, QSS, runner/build helpers, configuration/history/report directories and the bundled Markdown documentation.

Why source only?

This release page intentionally distributes the source archive rather than a prebuilt executable. The project includes a PyInstaller build.sh for users who want to produce a local one-file, windowed build against their own Linux environment.

Before running

Install Ollama and at least one local model, then follow the Installation guide . The canonical source launcher creates a local virtual environment and installs the required PySide6 dependency inside it.

Local data: PerformanceLab benchmark configuration, benchmark history and generated reports are runtime user data. Preserve those directories when replacing or rebuilding the application.
