Scored 2026-08-03.

- **Supply Chain Security**: 87/100
  - No malware found by supply-chain analysis.
  - Only part of the dependency tree could be resolved (95 of 99), so this covers what we could see, not the whole tree.
  - No install/post-install scripts declared.
  - Only part of the dependency tree could be resolved (95 of 99), so this covers what we could see, not the whole tree.

## Changelog

Every change recorded for this component, newest first. Days that predate change tracking, or that we cannot explain, say so: "we were watching and nothing happened" and "we were not watching" are different claims.

### 2026-08-03 (score 76, +1)

No change was recorded against any check on this day. Stability & Change Management went from 20 to 23. That category is still filling its 30-day observation window: 6 days of observed history at the previous scan, 7 at this one. The score rises as the window fills, whether or not the server changes.

## MCP tools (2)

### `check_media_deps` (~48 tokens)

Check media tool dependencies

Report which external binaries (ffmpeg, ffprobe, yt-dlp, whisper, tesseract) are available. Call this first if analyze_media fails with a missing-binary error.

### `analyze_media` (~840 tokens)

Analyze a video, audio, or image file or URL

Turn a local media file or URL (video, audio, or image) into compact context a model can read — fully local, no paid APIs. Video: montage frames (mode 'sheet', cheapest default), individual stills ('frames'), or scene changes ('scenes'); add transcript and/or ocr. Audio: speech transcript. Image: the picture plus optional OCR. For app/screen recordings use detail:'high' + ocr:true. To catch a transient UI glitch (a flicker/jump lasting <1s), use mode:'filmstrip' with a narrow startSec/endSec window, a high fps (10–15), and a crop around the affected control — it stacks dense frames so you can spot a frame whose value disagrees with the visual. Use the cheap default for everything else. Pass context to frame the analysis.

Input parameters:

- `context` (string): Optional note about the video to frame the analysis, e.g. 'signup flow, focus on the validation error'.
- `crop` (object): Rectangle to crop before sampling — zoom into a UI region for sharper frames/OCR. Pixels, or fractions 0–1 of the frame (e.g. {x:0,y:0.7,width:1,height:0.3} = bottom 30%).
- `detail` (string): high = readable stills for screen recordings (frames + large scale + png); low = cheap montage. Overrides only the fields you leave unset.
- `detectJumps` (boolean): Track the on-screen number (e.g. a slider %) across frames and report non-monotonic 'jump-back' glitches with timestamps. Pair with a crop around the value and a narrow window for best results.
- `endSec` (number): Window end in seconds.
- `format` (string): Image encoding. webp = smallest/fewest tokens (default); png = lossless for crisp text.
- `fps` (number): Explicit sampling rate (frames/sec); overrides the auto rate for sheet/frames/filmstrip. Use a high value (e.g. 10–15) with filmstrip to catch sub-second glitches.
- `grid` (integer): Tiles per row/column for sheet/scenes modes (grid x grid).
- `maxDurationSec` (number): Reject URL downloads longer than this many seconds.
- `maxFileSizeMb` (number): Abort a URL download once it exceeds this size in MB.
- `maxFrames` (integer): Upper bound on sampled frames across the whole window.
- `mode` (string): sheet = montage grids (cheapest, default); frames = individual stills; scenes = only scene-change montages; filmstrip = dense near-native-fps vertical strip for catching transient UI glitches (pair w…
- `ocr` (boolean): Extract on-screen text via OCR — ideal for app/screen recordings. Implies detail:high unless set.
- `ocrLang` (string): Tesseract language code(s) for OCR, e.g. 'eng' or 'eng+deu'.
- `ocrMaxFrames` (integer): Frames to OCR (sampled at full resolution, independent of the display images).
- `ocrPsm` (integer): Tesseract page-segmentation mode. 3 = auto (default), 6 = uniform block, 11 = sparse/scattered UI labels.
- `scale` (integer): Width in px of each frame before tiling. Lower = fewer tokens.
- `sceneThreshold` (number): Scene-change sensitivity for 'scenes' mode (higher = fewer cuts).
- `source` (string, required): Local media file path (video, audio, or image) OR an http(s) URL.
- `startSec` (number): Window start in seconds.
- `stripRows` (integer): Tiles stacked per image in 'filmstrip' mode.
- `transcript` (boolean): Also run local Whisper to produce a speech transcript.
- `whisperModel` (string): Whisper model name (tiny, base, small, medium, large).
