Blunt UI Architecture & Security
Project Howitzer implements a pure "Blunt UI" architectural paradigm built with Qt 6.5.3 C++ for Apple Silicon. Every view, control, and state machine is deterministic, testable, and free of uncontrolled telemetry side-effects.
1. Tactical Component Map
The entire application is constructed with high-acuity native Qt widgets:
├── QToolBar (navToolBar)
│ └── QActionGroup (actDirectFire, actArsenal, actBattery, actFiringRange, actMagazine, actSettings)
├── QStackedWidget (viewStack)
│ ├── [0] DirectFireView (QWidget)
│ │ ├── Top Bar (methodComboBox, urlLineEdit, pullButton)
│ │ └── QSplitter (Request Tabs vs. Response Inspector)
│ ├── [1] ArsenalView (QWidget)
│ │ ├── Prompts & Mustache Bracket Variable Matrix
│ │ └── Hyperparameters & Strict JSON AST Schema Validator
│ ├── [2] BatteryView (QWidget)
│ │ ├── Reorderable Stage Tree (1..N) with Extraction Rules
│ │ └── Execution Engine (Sequential & Parallel Dispatch)
│ ├── [3] FiringRangeView (QWidget)
│ │ ├── 3-Column Parallel Multi-Model Comparison Arena
│ │ └── Unified Token Diff & Automated Arbiter Consensus
│ └── [4] MagazineView (QWidget)
│ ├── Hardware Enclave Security Guard & Environment Selector
│ └── Masked Secrets Ledger & Shell eval Hook Generator
└── QStatusBar (Permanent Status Telemetry & Enclave Indicators)
2. The Three Sovereign Design Laws
1. The Blunt UI Mandate
Every button, slider, and tab has complete, functional C++ wiring. There are zero non-functional mockups. Controls manipulate deterministic in-memory state models.
2. Zero Telemetry Leaks
All operations run strictly on the local machine or user-configured endpoints. No silent analytics beacons, no tracking pixels, and no forced telemetry accounts.
3. TDD Structural Verification
Every core view is validated with a dedicated CTest suite compiled against LLVM profile instrumentation, ensuring branch coverage exceeds 95% at all times.
3. Test Coverage & Sovereign Integrity Ledger
Project Howitzer was developed under strict Aram (அறம்) with a mandatory Test-Driven Development (TDD) harness. Every view, action group, and edge condition is verified using LLVM profile instrumentation.
