v6.7.0-alpha.1

This is the identity CineBraid is first shared publicly under. It is an alpha: the 6.7.0 line, in development, offered for people to run and report on. It does not claim a stable release, a supported-version matrix, or a production-ready build.

What it is

CineBraid is a local-first film production application. Everything it holds — the Project Bible, references, continuity, shots, review and approval — stays on the machine you run it on. It binds 127.0.0.1 by default and uploads nothing on its own.

A production can be planned and finished by hand, with no assistant configured and no generation enabled. Human approval stays explicit: nothing is approved, locked or superseded on your behalf. A machine can propose; only a person decides.

Install

The Public Alpha is shared as source. No archive has been published under this identity, so there is nothing to download here and no checksum to verify — install from a clone:

git clone https://github.com/cfbach/cinebraid.git
cd cinebraid
npm ci
npm start

Then open the URL printed in the terminal — by default http://127.0.0.1:4477.

Requires Node.js 18 or newer; validated on Node 24. express is the only runtime dependency, there is no build step, and ffmpeg is optional and not bundled.

npm run release:build will produce a Windows ZIP and an architecture-neutral runtime tarball from any commit, with a manifest and checksums, if you would rather install from an archive you built yourself.

Where to start

  • README.md — what CineBraid is, what it needs, and what it refuses to do
  • SETUP.md — installation, network posture and optional provider setup
  • docs/GETTING_STARTED.md — the short path from install to a finished shot
  • docs/releases/v6.7.0-alpha.1/ — release notes, install note and verification report

A fresh install opens projects/cinebraid-sample — CineBraid Sample — The Blue Parcel — a three-shot project that needs nothing external: no text provider, no vision provider, generation disabled. All three shots can be taken from opening to approved using only what ships in the box.

Reporting

This alpha exists to be run by people who are not us. npm run check:quick is a portable check that contacts no provider. Issues and observations are welcome.
