What SATE Is Not

SATE is intentionally limited. It does not replace devtools, find bugs, or assist developers. It exists solely to provide admissible proof of execution truth.

Not a Test Framework

SATE does not run tests, mock dependencies, or measure coverage. It observes reality, not assertions.

Not a CI Replacement

SATE operates outside the toolchain. It does not automate builds or deployments.

Not a Debugger

SATE does not allow step-through execution or memory inspection. It is a read-only witness.

Not an AI Agent

SATE has no agency, no hallucination, and no "self-healing" behavior. It is deterministic infrastructure.

Not Opinionated

SATE does not score your code quality or suggest improvements. It only proves what happened.
