NSC Labs

GitHub

Local-first tools for software work, browser evidence, and bounded runtime.

NSC Labs builds focused tools for browser evidence, coding recovery, runtime evidence, workbook history, telemetry, and bounded container movement. The common boundary is simple: collect clear evidence before the next move.

Tools

Podman Runtime Control

Nimbus-Orch

Evidence-gated Podman controller for checkpoint, recover, and branch movement. It separates observation, ownership, readiness, pressure posture, and write-class container movement.

Podman • GoRuntime evidence
Bounded Per-Executable Runner

Copr Gateway

Runs one explicitly supplied executable file at a time. Copr reports the run boundary and stays separate from April-side observation, bea-series packets, Milky receipts, and Hammer packaging.

Go + RustPer executable
Coding Recovery Studio

bea-x

GUI-first local assistance for software work. Reads repo evidence, changed sections, compiler output, and specialist failure cases to give humans and coding agents clearer input before the next move.

Excel Add-in

Morningside

Prepared local-first Excel workbook history tooling. The Office add-in surface is not publicly deployed yet; the privacy/support page explains the intended workbook-local boundary.

Excel • Office.jsLocal-first
Telemetry Ledger

Duck

LLM inference telemetry recorded as a ledger (CDR-style): tokens, latency, errors, and usage for audit and cost control.

LLM opsAudit-first
Inference Gateway

Heptaconn

Deterministic traffic controller for LLM servers. Bounded inflight calls, receipts, and stability controls for local inference compute.

Chrome Extension

WebLens Page Lens

Collects a bounded evidence packet from the active tab: what rendered, which browser messages appeared after collection started, and which WordPress or request boundaries may be worth reviewing.

TagPivot

Tag and weight websites while browsing to build a personal knowledge graph of your history. Local storage. Privacy-first.

WebLens Page Lens and TagPivot are the current browser-facing tools. WebLens collects bounded active-tab page and console evidence without requiring an account or cloud service. Nimbus-Orch and Copr Gateway remain infrastructure-facing tools for bounded Podman movement and per-executable runs. Other projects stay private or pre-release while packaging and customer-facing surfaces stabilize.

Runtime movement should require evidence

Nimbus-Orch is a Podman-facing controller surface for bounded checkpoint, recover, and branch movement. The controller does not treat access as authority. Before write-class movement, it checks readiness, target shape, an allowlisted Podman action, executed inspect observation, claimed ownership posture, and pressure posture.

The boundary

  • Read posture: inspect, report, and status.
  • Write posture: checkpoint, recover, branch, and pause-class movement.
  • Pointer posture: roster, record-start, and controller memory.
  • Generic Zipproc remains per-executable; Podman control is a separate lane.
  • The controller image does not ship the Podman socket or host write authority.

What NSC Labs builds

Small tools with explicit behavior: browser evidence, local software-work recovery, deterministic gateways, bounded runtime control, audit-friendly telemetry, and local-first capture. The goal is clearer evidence before the next move.

Privacy-firstLocal computeNo smoke

Tech focus

  • Rust + Go for gateways and tooling
  • Local software-work evidence and recovery surfaces
  • Telemetry: receipts, ledgers, exportable records
  • Local-first storage (explicit schemas)
  • Swift + SwiftUI when a UI is needed
