# SCRYPT

A deck-builder escape room played in a terminal, against an LLM that owns
the machine. The Warden sacrifices your shell commands, remembers every
run, and threatens your files (sandboxed copies — nothing real is touched).

## The web layer

This Space is a **custom Osaka-Jade frontend on top of `gradio.Server`** —
Gradio is the engine room, not the face. The app *is* a `gradio.Server`
(a FastAPI app), driven by uvicorn so our own routes stay authoritative:

- `GET /` — a hand-built CRT landing page (`space/static/`), where the
  Warden mutters at you before you enter.
- `GET /api/whisper` — the backend that feeds those mutterings, in voice.
- `GET /play` + `WS /pty` — an xterm.js terminal bridged to a private
  `python -m scrypt.app` process per visitor: their own sandbox, their own
  Warden, streamed byte for byte.

Run locally: `python space/app.py` (needs `gradio>=6`), then open
`http://localhost:7860`.

## Secrets

`SCRYPT_API_KEY` — an OpenRouter or NVIDIA NIM key for
`nvidia/nemotron-3-nano-30b-a3b`. Without it the Warden falls back to
scripted lines: playable, but quieter. Sandboxes here are always
fabricated, never mirrored from a real machine.
