PREFIX for Python 0.1.0

Correct what can be proven. Refuse the rest.

PREFIX for Python is prebuilt, downloadable software for deterministic local correction of a bounded set of Python 3.12 structural errors. It applies mapped corrections, validates accepted output through parse/reparse and AST checks, surfaces bounded advice without mutation, and refuses unsupported states.

PlatformsWindows x64 · Linux amd64

Included in 0.1.0

One license. The complete product.

This is a license to prebuilt software—not consulting, a subscription, or a custom implementation.

Made for individual Python developers who want a small, predictable correction tool in the command line or VS Code. It checks structure, not your program's business logic, and does not run your Python code.

01

Local correction engine

Applies mapped deterministic fixes, reparses accepted output, and returns typed outcomes.

02

Command-line workflow

Analyze, apply, inspect receipts, replay accepted corrections, and roll back when a receipt has a rollback-ready parse-valid pre-image.

03

VS Code extension

Includes the existing editor interface. Review the tested-version limits below before relying on editor corrections.

04

Release verification

Platform packages, wheel, VSIX, SHA-256 checksums, release manifest, and offline verifier.

Bounded correction

A small correction surface, on purpose.

PREFIX does not claim universal repair. It admits a mutation only when declared rules produce one mapped structural continuation.

before.pyinvalid structure
if ready
    print("launch")
after.pyparse/reparse verified
if ready:
    print("launch")
One mapped continuation: apply and verify. Ambiguous, unsafe, or unsupported: advise or refuse without hidden mutation.

Editor integration and declared boundary

Correction where Python is written.

The shipped VSIX invokes the installed local engine. Version 0.1.0 exposes a small, explicit command surface and does not silently expand beyond it.

Declared API minimum: VS Code 1.85

What PREFIX is not

A bounded correction tool—not an open-ended generator.

  • A general-purpose AI coding assistant
  • Arbitrary code generation
  • Universal semantic repair
  • A cloud inference service

Unsupported language versions, platforms, and error classes are not silently treated as compatible.

Real-product demo

The demo uses the qualified 0.1.0 command-line product on Windows to show a mapped missing-colon correction, parse/reparse proof, a refused unsupported state with no source change, receipt inspection, deterministic replay, and conditional rollback.

No animation or simulated output is used as evidence of product behavior.

2 minutes 14 seconds. Silent, with on-screen explanations. Recorded from the actual qualified Windows CLI, not a simulated terminal.

Qualified boundary

System requirements.

macOS, ARM platforms, Python 3.11, Python 3.13, Python 3.14, and later versions are not qualified for version 0.1.0.

Windows package

Windows x64

Includes a bundled CPython 3.12.10 runtime and per-user installation.

The latest Windows CLI check passed. Editor correction in VS Code 1.134.0 timed out; editor use there is not verified.
Linux package

Linux amd64

Requires an installed CPython >=3.12,<3.13 runtime.

Retained editor evidence covers Ubuntu under WSL2 with CPython 3.12.3 and native Linux VS Code 1.85.2. The CLI can operate without VS Code.

Clear retail terms

$29 USD one-time.

One named human developer may install and use PREFIX on up to two personally controlled computers for personal and commercial software-development work.

Customer-created codeRemains owned by the customer.
Product redistributionResale, sublicensing, transfer, and repackaging are not permitted.
Future commitmentsNo future version, upgrade, maintenance period, SLA, or response-time commitment is included unless stated separately in writing.

Tested boundaries

Windows, Linux and local-only correction.

The latest Windows check of the original wheel and bundled CPython 3.12.10 runtime passed all 40 CLI assertions. In the latest Windows editor test, correction in VS Code 1.134.0 timed out after five seconds; editor use on that version is not verified.

Retained Linux evidence covers Ubuntu under WSL2 with CPython 3.12.3 and native Linux VS Code 1.85.2. This is not a new bare-metal Linux test or verification of newer editor versions.

The Windows package is unsigned. No macOS, ARM, other Python versions or code-signing claim is included.

CLI receipts contain source text and paths. Keep them private. They are content-bound records, not digital signatures. Editor commands do not create CLI receipts.
