NovaFabric's strategic core is one verb chain. Every capability composes onto it.
Wrap any command. Record every model & tool call.
DSSE signature + RFC 3161 timestamp + Merkle proof.
Re-run forensic, mocked, semantic, or exact.
Compare runs; gate regressions in CI.
Trace lineage, export sealed evidence bundles.
Self-contained · works today
Every core capability runs on a single machine — no server, no network — storing everything on the local filesystem.
Distributed-ready · experimental
The same capsule format scales out to clusters of thousands of nodes. A one-node run is simply the smallest case of a distributed run.
When you scale out, evidence flows through five planes — from the compute plane where agents run to the global query layer. This is the distributed tier (experimental); a single-machine install collapses it to the compute plane.
Every component and how it wires together, across the six subsystem domains. Click a box to drill in; hover to trace its connections.

Capture
Wrap any subprocess. Record everything.
Evidence model
The portable, self-contained unit of record.
Analyze
Replay, compare, trace, evaluate.
Trust
Sign, timestamp, verify evidence.
Govern
Policy gates, approvals, compliance.
Serve
Multi-user API, dashboard, topology.
Local Dev
- Solo developer workflow
- SQLite — zero config
- No server required
- nova CLI only
Team Server
- Shared Postgres instance
- Cluster collector daemon
- Web dashboard for audit
- Row-level security isolation
HPC Cluster
- SLURM prolog/epilog hooks
- Node collectors per login node
- Aggregated evidence store
- Cross-job lineage queries
SQLite → Postgres
Local SQLite for solo devs, zero-config. Postgres for teams with RLS isolation. Migration path is a single flag change.
Go collector
Python-based collection had >5% overhead. Go daemon: 295K events/sec, <1ms local latency, crash-safe WAL spool.
DSSE + RFC 3161
DSSE envelope for content signing. RFC 3161 for trusted timestamps. Both are standards-compliant and verifiable without novafabric installed.
