+
+## 🎬 The Problem
+
+A freelancer delivers code. The client can't tell if it's professional work or a security nightmare. Traditional linters find syntax errors. Code reviews miss architectural flaws. Nobody puts it all together and tells you:
+
+> _"This code is negligent, here's exactly why, and here's what it will cost you."_
+
+**CodeTribunal does.**
+
+Upload a `.zip` of code and watch a full courtroom trial unfold — evidence gathering, investigation by specialist agents, a live-streamed debate between an AI Prosecutor and Defense Attorney, and a Judge's verdict with a reputational risk score.
+
+---
+
+## 🏛️ How It Works
+
+CodeTribunal runs a **6-phase pipeline**, each building on the last:
+
+### Phase 1: Forensic Evidence (Deterministic — No LLM)
+
+GritQL scans the entire codebase with **17 forensic patterns** across security and quality domains:
+
+| Domain      | Patterns | Examples                                                                                 |
+| ----------- | -------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| 🔴 Security | 13       | Hardcoded secrets, `eval()`, SQL injection, `pickle.load()`, `os.system()`, weak hashing |
+| 🟡 Quality  | 4        | `TODO`, `FIXME`, `HACK` comments                                                         |
+
+All scanning is **read-only** (`--dry-run`) and runs in **parallel** across patterns.
+
+### Phase 2: Code Dependency Graph (AST — No LLM)
+
+Python's `ast` module and regex-based JS parsing build a **lightweight dependency graph**:
+
+- Nodes: files, functions, classes, imports
+- Edges: calls, imports, containment, inheritance
+- Enables call-chain tracing: `eval() → handle_request() → app.route()`
+
+### Phase 3: Investigation (3 ReACT Agents + 4 Tools)
+
+Three specialist investigators, each running a **genuine ReACT loop** (Reason → Act → Observe → Repeat) using **Z.ai's native function calling** via LiteLLM:
+
+| Agent                        | Tools                                                     | Purpose                                    |
+| ---------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------ |
+| 🛡️ Security Investigator     | FileReader, PatternSearch, CodeGraphQuery, FindingContext | Find vulnerabilities, trace attack vectors |
+| 📋 Quality Investigator      | FileReader, FindingContext                                | Assess technical debt, detect negligence   |
+| 🏗️ Architecture Investigator | FileReader, CodeGraphQuery                                | Analyze structure, trace dependencies      |
+
+Each agent **autonomously decides which tools to call**, observes the results, and iterates. For example, the Security Investigator might:
+
+1. Call `file_reader` to read a flagged file
+2. Observe hardcoded secrets on specific lines
+3. Call `code_graph_query` to trace where those secrets are used
+4. Produce a detailed report with file paths, line numbers, and severity ratings
+
+**Verified working**: GLM-5 + LiteLLM function calling confirmed. Agents make real tool calls that execute real code analysis.
+
+### Phase 4: The Trial (3 Agents)
+
+A courtroom debate between AI agents:
+
+1. **⚖️ The Prosecutor** — builds the case for negligence, cites specific evidence
+2. **🛡️ The Defense Attorney** — challenges claims, argues context and proportionality
+3. **⚖️ Rebuttal** — the prosecutor responds to the defense
+
+Agents use CrewAI's `context` parameter to chain arguments: prosecution output feeds into defense context, both feed into rebuttal.
+
+### Phase 5: The Verdict
+
+**🔨 The Judge** reviews all evidence, investigation reports, and the full trial transcript. Delivers:
+
+- Overall ruling: GUILTY / MIXED / NOT GUILTY
+- Reputational Risk Score (0-100)
+- Findings summary with severity rankings
+
+### Phase 6: Structured Report
+
+**📝 Verdict Report Agent** compiles everything into a professional report:
+
+- Executive Summary
+- Findings Table (sorted by severity)
+- Per-Finding Analysis (impact, remediation, estimated fix effort)
+- Sentencing Recommendations
+

+### Key Design Decisions
 
-The AI courtroom that exposes bad freelance code.
+| Decision                              | Why                                                                                         |
+| ------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| **Agents have tools, not text dumps** | Agents read files, search patterns, and trace calls on demand — scales to any codebase size |
+| **ReACT loop via LiteLLM**            | Direct function calling with GLM-5 — bypasses CrewAI's unreliable tool routing              |
+| **Pipeline state persisted to JSON**  | Runs can resume after crashes. State is queryable                                           |
+| **GritQL for evidence**               | AST-level pattern matching, not regex. Language-aware, precise                              |
+| **Custom CrewAI tools (BaseTool)**    | Pydantic-validated inputs, proper error handling, CrewAI-native integration                 |
+| **Rate-limit retry with backoff**     | Exponential backoff (4s → 64s) on Z.ai 429 errors — pipeline survives API spikes            |
 
-Multi-agent forensic investigation powered by GLM 5.1. Instead of guessing code quality, CodeTribunal puts it on trial — a live-streaming debate where an AI Prosecutor and Defense Attorney clash over real, deterministic technical evidence.

-1. **Evidence Gathering** — Deterministic scans (security, code smells, hardcoded secrets, TODOs)
-2. **Investigation** — GLM 5.1 agents analyze the evidence
-3. **The Trial** — Prosecutor and Defense debate in a live-streamed courtroom
-4. **Verdict** — The Judge delivers a final ruling

+
+## 🧪 Testing
+
+```bash
+# Run evidence scan on test fixtures
+code-tribunal tests/fixtures/locale/ --evidence-only
+
+# Run Python tests
+pytest tests/
+```
+
+Test fixtures in `tests/fixtures/locale/` contain deliberately bad Python and JavaScript code with:
+
+- Hardcoded passwords, API keys, AWS secrets, Stripe keys, JWT secrets
+- SQL injection via f-strings and template literals
+- `eval()`, `pickle.load()`, `os.system()`, `subprocess.call(shell=True)`
+- MD5 hashing
+- TODO, FIXME, HACK comments

+## 🎓 What Makes This a Strong Hackathon Entry
+
+1. **System Complexity** — 6-phase pipeline with 8 agents, 4 custom tools, code graph, and streaming
+2. **Effective Tool Use** — Agents use BaseTool with Pydantic schemas to read files, search patterns, and trace calls
+3. **Context Handoffs** — CrewAI `context` parameter chains prosecution → defense → rebuttal
+4. **Custom ReACT Engine** — Direct LiteLLM function calling with GLM-5 for reliable tool use
+5. **Deterministic + AI** — GritQL provides ground-truth evidence, agents provide interpretation and debate
+6. **Resilient** — Rate-limit retry, pipeline persistence, error recovery
