+# Warlock's Stave (stave-core) v7.0
+
+**Warlock's Stave** is a lightweight reverse engineering framework designed for high-velocity dynamic code tracing, predictive instruction auditing, and deep infrastructure pattern inspection.
+
+The system is built on the **Unix Philosophy**, isolating complex analysis logic from volatile user interface layers. The core is written in performance-critical, memory-safe Rust and exposes clean, stateless C-compatible FFI and JNI symbols for integration with industry-standard tools.
+
+## Executive Vision
+
+Rather than anchoring to specific windowing managers, Warlock's Stave serves as a high-speed telemetry hub and data multiplexer. It dynamically assembles the most efficient IPC pipeline (Unix Sockets, Named Pipes, or TCP) based on its host environment — whether bare-metal, virtualized (Wine/Proton), or cloud-native (Kubernetes sidecars).
+
+## Key Architectural Features
+
+- **Vector Hex Timeline:** A high-precision hexagonal pixel-raycaster for visualizing execution ticks across an abstract coordinate system.
+- **Predictive Branch Evaluator (Jump Oracle):** Decodes current opcodes and checks processor flags to display instruction outcomes before hardware commits to execution.
+- **"Mirror Illusion" Diff Engine:** A structural binary comparison tool that aligns files by ELF/PE sections rather than raw offsets, preventing misalignment from code shifts.
+- **Tri-Tier Scope Engine:** Concurrent analysis at the **Global** (X-Refs, entropy), **Local** (function blocks, stacks), and **Micro** (instruction side-effects) levels.
+- **Multiverse Security Providers:** Pluggable auditors for Linux eBPF kernel tracing, Windows ETW telemetry, and polymorphic IPC evasion detection.
+- **Shellcode Sentinel:** Monitors runtime memory for suspicious permission transitions (e.g., RW- to RWX).
+- **State Decay System:** Frame-to-live counter for mutation highlights that fade smoothly over time.
