QT 6.5 HOWITZER
GITHUB ↗
TACTICAL WORKBENCH // QT 6.5.3 APPLE SILICON // BLUNT UI // ZERO TELEMETRY

The Deterministic AI & API Workbench for High-Acuity Builders.

Built with pure Qt 6 C++ on Apple Silicon. Instantaneous startup, monolithic Uber Black UI, zero cloud dependencies, and 100% test-backed execution. Stop wrestling with bloated Electron wrappers.

The Five Tactical Batteries

Every control, table, tab, slider, and lanyard operates within deterministic in-memory state under the Blunt UI paradigm—inspectable down to the microsecond.

[DF-01] READY

DirectFire

Deterministic API workbench. Inspect request headers, route query params, manage bearer/basic auth, configure payloads, and analyze instantaneous response telemetry.

  • Inspector:Status / Latency / Payload Badges
  • Protocol:HTTP 1.1 / HTTP 2 / SSL Pinning
  • Trigger:[ PULL ] Tactical Action Button
[AR-02] READY

Arsenal

Dynamic prompt engineering studio. Substitute template variables via mustache bracket syntax, dial temperature and top-p hyperparameters, and enforce strict structured JSON schemas.

  • Substitution:Dynamic Variable Matrix
  • Schema Mode:Strict JSON AST Validator
  • Trigger:[ PULL ARSENAL ] Lanyard
[BT-03] READY

Battery

Chained workflow pipeline editor. Compose multi-stage execution sequences (Stages 1..N), configure regex and JSONPath extraction rules, and switch between sequential and parallel dispatch modes.

  • Sequencer:Reorderable Stage Tree (1..N)
  • Execution:Sequential & Parallel Dispatch
  • Log Stream:Live Terminal Telemetry Console
[FR-04] READY

Firing Range

Tri-model shootout and diff arena. Pit Gemini 3.5 Flash, Local Qwen 2.5 8B, and Claude 3.5 Sonnet side-by-side. Inspect TTFT, latency, token costs, and trigger automated arbiter synthesis.

  • Matrix:3-Column Parallel Comparison
  • Diff Analysis:Unified Character & Token Diff
  • Arbiter:Synthesis & Consensus Generator
[MZ-05] READY

Magazine

Secure hardware enclave monitor and environment secret vault. Toggle hardware security simulation, switch environments (Prod/Staging/Local), and export shell configurations via eval hooks.

  • Vault:Masked / Revealed Secret State
  • Enclave:Hardware Simulation Guard
  • Shell Hook:eval $(howitzer env ...)
// AUDIT VERIFICATION

Test Coverage & Sovereign Integrity

Project Howitzer was developed under strict Aram (அறம்) with a mandatory Test-Driven Development (TDD) harness. Every view, button, action group, and edge condition is verified using LLVM profile instrumentation.
