## 🧠 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 <package>
```

---

## ⚡ Quick Start

```bash
npx ruvector decompile @anthropic-ai/claude-code
```

That's it. One command → 878 modules, 100% valid JavaScript, cryptographic witness chain.

📥 **[Download pre-built Claude Code decompilation →](https://github.com/ruvnet/rudevolution/releases/tag/v0.1.0-claude-code-v2.0.62)**

### 🏃 It Runs. It's Modifiable.

The decompiled output isn't just readable — **it's a fully functional drop-in replacement:**

```bash
# Download the decompiled Claude Code
curl -LO https://github.com/ruvnet/rudevolution/releases/download/v0.1.0-claude-code-v2.0.62/claude-code-v2.0.62-decompiled.js

# Run it — identical behavior to the original
node claude-code-v2.0.62-decompiled.js --version
# → 2.0.62 (Claude Code)

# Modify it — add logging, change behavior, build extensions
cp claude-code-v2.0.62-decompiled.js my-custom-claude.js
# Edit my-custom-claude.js (2,222 /* Module: XXX */ comments guide you)
node my-custom-claude.js --version
# → Still works!
```

Every transform is **verified at build time** — if a change would break execution, it's automatically reverted. The witness chain proves nothing was added or removed from the original.

## ⚖️ Legal Basis

**Reverse engineering published software for interoperability is legal** in most jurisdictions:

| Jurisdiction | Law | What It Allows |
|-------------|-----|----------------|
| 🇺🇸 **United States** | DMCA §1201(f), Copyright Act §117 | Reverse engineering for interoperability, security research, and understanding how software you own a copy of works |
| 🇪🇺 **European Union** | Software Directive (2009/24/EC), Art. 6 | Decompilation for interoperability without authorization from the rightholder |
| 🇬🇧 **United Kingdom** | Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988, §50B | Decompilation for interoperability purposes |
| 🇦🇺 **Australia** | Copyright Act 1968, §47D | Reverse engineering for interoperability |

**Key principles:**
- 📦 **Published npm packages run on your machine** — you have a legitimate copy
- 🔍 **Analysis for understanding** — learning how software works is fair use
- 🔗 **Interoperability** — building extensions, MCP servers, and integrations requires understanding the interface
- 🔐 **No circumvention** — we analyze the published JavaScript, not bypassing DRM or encryption
- 📜 **No redistribution of original code** — the decompiler outputs *your analysis*, not a copy of the original

**What ruDevolution does NOT do:**
- ❌ Does not bypass authentication or DRM
- ❌ Does not access unpublished source code
- ❌ Does not redistribute original code
- ❌ Does not violate terms of service (analyzing code you've installed is not prohibited)

The **witness chain** provides cryptographic proof that every byte of output derives from the input — nothing fabricated, nothing added from external sources.

let result = decompile(&minified, &config).unwrap();

println!("📦 {} modules detected", result.modules.len());
println!("🔮 {} names inferred", result.inferred_names.len());
println!("🔗 Witness root: {}", result.witness_chain.chain_root_hex);

for module in &result.modules {
    println!("  📁 {} ({} declarations)", module.name, module.declarations.len());
}
```

### Via npm (easiest)

```bash
# Decompile any npm package
npx ruvector decompile express

<summary><strong>📖 Tutorial: Decompile an npm Package</strong></summary>

### 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
```

<summary><strong>🔄 Tutorial: Cross-Version Analysis</strong></summary>

### 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
```

<summary><strong>🧬 Tutorial: Self-Learning Feedback Loop</strong></summary>

### 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);
```

<summary><strong>🔗 Tutorial: Witness Chain Verification</strong></summary>

### 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);
```

### 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
