ruDevolution

AI-Powered JavaScript Decompiler

The first decompiler that understands code semantically, recovers original names with AI,
proves every transformation with cryptographic witness chains, and gets smarter with every run.

🧠 MinCut Module Detection • 🔮 AI Name Recovery • 🔗 Cryptographic Witness Chains • 📊 Confidence Scoring • 🧬 Self-Learning

--- ## 🧠 What is ruDevolution? **ruDevolution** is a next-generation JavaScript decompiler built in pure Rust. It takes minified, obfuscated, or bundled JavaScript — the kind produced by esbuild, webpack, Terser, or any bundler — and reconstructs readable source code with original module boundaries, meaningful variable names, and full cryptographic provenance. Unlike traditional decompilers that only reformat whitespace, ruDevolution uses **graph algorithms** (MinCut partitioning) to detect where modules originally split apart, **AI inference** (neural + 210 pattern rules) to predict what variables were originally called, and **Merkle witness chains** to mathematically prove that every line of output faithfully derives from the input. It learns from corrections, improves across runs, and can be trained on GPU for domain-specific accuracy. **Put simply**: paste in unreadable code, get back organized, named, verified source — with a confidence score on every recovered name and a cryptographic proof that nothing was fabricated. --- ## 📦 Install ```bash # npm (CLI + MCP tools) npm install -g ruvector # Rust (full pipeline with graph partitioning) cargo install ruvector-decompiler # Or just use npx (no install needed) npx ruvector decompile ``` --- ## ⚡ Quick Start ```bash npx ruvector decompile @anthropic-ai/claude-code ``` That's it.

📖 Tutorial: Decompile an npm Package

### Step 1: Get the minified bundle ```bash npm pack express --pack-destination /tmp/ tar xzf /tmp/express-*.tgz -C /tmp/ ``` ### Step 2: Run the decompiler ```rust use ruvector_decompiler::{decompile, DecompileConfig}; let source = std::fs::read_to_string("/tmp/package/index.js")?; let result = decompile(&source, &DecompileConfig::default())?; ``` ### Step 3: Check the results ```rust // How many modules were detected? println!("Modules: {}", result.modules.len()); // What names were recovered? for name in result.inferred_names.iter().filter(|n| n.confidence > 0.8) { println!("{} → {} ({}%)", name.original, name.inferred, (name.confidence * 100.0) as u32); } // Verify the witness chain assert!(result.witness_chain.is_valid); ``` ### Step 4: Use the source map The output includes a V3 source map compatible with Chrome DevTools: ```javascript // In your browser console: //# sourceMappingURL=decompiled.js.map ```

🔄 Tutorial: Cross-Version Analysis

### Compare Claude Code versions ```bash # Build RVF corpus for all versions ./scripts/claude-code-rvf-corpus.sh # Each version gets its own RVF container: # versions/v0.2.x/claude-code-v0.2.rvf (300 vectors) # versions/v1.0.x/claude-code-v1.0.rvf (482 vectors) # versions/v2.0.x/claude-code-v2.0.rvf (785 vectors) # versions/v2.1.x/claude-code-v2.1.rvf (2,068 vectors) ``` ### Track what changed ```rust // Decompile two versions let v1 = decompile(&v1_source, &config)?; let v2 = decompile(&v2_source, &config)?; // Functions with same structure but different minified names // = same original function, renamed by the bundler // This confirms name inferences across versions ```

🧬 Tutorial: Self-Learning Feedback Loop

### Train from ground truth If you know the original source for a minified bundle: ```rust use ruvector_decompiler::inferrer::NameInferrer; let mut inferrer = NameInferrer::new(); // Provide known correct mappings let ground_truth = vec![ ("a$", "createRouter"), ("b$", "handleRequest"), ("c$", "sendResponse"), ]; // Train the inferrer inferrer.learn_from_ground_truth(&ground_truth); // Future inferences will be more accurate // The patterns are stored and reused ``` ### Feed back real-world results ```rust // After manual review, tell the inferrer what was correct let feedback = vec![ Feedback { predicted: "error_handler", actual: "McpErrorHandler", was_correct: false }, Feedback { predicted: "route_handler", actual: "routeHandler", was_correct: true }, ]; inferrer.learn_from_feedback(&feedback); ```

🔗 Tutorial: Witness Chain Verification

### Prove decompilation is faithful ```rust let result = decompile(&source, &config)?; // The witness chain proves every output byte comes from the input assert!(result.witness_chain.is_valid); println!("Source hash: {}", result.witness_chain.source_hash_hex); println!("Chain root: {}", result.witness_chain.chain_root_hex); // Each module has its own witness for witness in &result.witness_chain.module_witnesses { println!(" {} byte_range={}..{} hash={}", witness.module_name, witness.byte_range.0, witness.byte_range.1, witness.content_hash_hex); } // Anyone can verify: reconstruct the Merkle tree and compare roots let verified = result.witness_chain.verify(&source); assert!(verified); ```

🤖 Advanced: GPU-Trained Neural Inference

### Train a deobfuscation model ```bash # Generate training data (10K+ minified→original pairs) node scripts/training/generate-deobfuscation-data.mjs # Launch GPU training on GCloud L4 (~$1.40, ~2 hours) ./scripts/training/launch-gpu-training.sh --cloud # Export model to GGUF for RuvLLM python scripts/training/export-to-rvf.py ``` ### Use the trained model ```rust let config = DecompileConfig { model_path: Some("models/deobfuscator.gguf".into()), ..Default::default() }; let result = decompile(&source, &config)?; // Neural inference runs first, falls back to patterns // Expect 60-80% name accuracy vs 5% without model ``` ### How the model works ``` Input: minified name "s$" + context ["tools/call", "initialize", ".client"] │ ▼ ┌──────────────┐ │ 6M param │ │ Transformer │ Character-level encoder │ (GGUF Q4) │ Trained on 100K+ pairs └──────┬───────┘ │ ▼ Output: "mcpToolDispatcher" (confidence: 0.87) ```

📦 Advanced: RVF Container Integration

### Store decompiled code in RVF RVF (RuVector Format) containers store code as searchable vectors with cryptographic provenance: ```bash # Build RVF containers for all Claude Code versions ./scripts/claude-code-rvf-corpus.sh # Each .rvf file contains: # - HNSW-indexed vectors (semantic search) # - Witness chains (provenance) # - Manifest (metadata) # - Module segments (source code) ``` ### Query the RVF corpus ```javascript import { RvfDatabase } from '@ruvector/rvf'; const db = await RvfDatabase.openReadonly('claude-code-v2.1.rvf'); const results = await db.search('permission system', { limit: 5 }); for (const hit of results) { console.log(`${hit.module} (score: ${hit.score.toFixed(3)})`); } ```

⚙️ Advanced: Configuration Options

### DecompileConfig ```rust let config = DecompileConfig { // Module detection target_modules: None, // Auto-detect (recommended) min_module_size: Some(3), // Minimum declarations per module // Name inference min_confidence: 0.3, // Minimum confidence to include model_path: None, // Path to neural model (optional) // Output generate_source_map: true, // V3 source maps beautify: true, // Indent and format output }; ``` ### Environment variables | Variable | Default | Description | |----------|---------|-------------| | `DECOMPILER_THREADS` | CPU count | Rayon thread pool size | | `DECOMPILER_MODEL` | none | Path to GGUF model | | `DECOMPILER_MIN_CONFIDENCE` | 0.3 | Minimum confidence threshold |
