> **If I can rebuild your stack in a single weekend, I'm going to remake it in Rust under the Unlicense. I'm raising the technical bar.**
This crate is a **manual**, not a library. Adding it to your `Cargo.toml` doesn't pull in code or features. It exists so that:
1. The name `cochranblock` is reserved by its rightful owner on crates.io.
2. Anyone running `cargo doc --open -p cochranblock` (or visiting [docs.rs/cochranblock](https://docs.rs/cochranblock)) gets a directory of every public-domain Rust crate published by The Cochran Block, LLC.
3. The Anti-Founder Manifesto is reachable through the Rust toolchain, not just through a website.

## The doctrine
I rebuild venture-funded SaaS in a weekend, on a single laptop, with zero cloud bill. Then I release it under the [Unlicense](https://unlicense.org/) — full public domain — and tell you to take it home.
No moat. No rent. No sleazy salesman. No cofounder pretending it took a team of fifteen and Series B money to do what one operator did in 33 hours.
Read the full manifesto: **[cochranblock.org](https://cochranblock.org)**.

## Receipts
Every crate below is on crates.io, released under the Unlicense, and dedicated to the public domain. Take, fork, embed, sublicense, sell, classify, white-label. No attribution required.
| **[`runsible`](https://crates.io/crates/runsible)** | Ansible, reimagined in Rust. 14-crate workspace, ~10 ms cold start. |
| **[`r8r`](https://crates.io/crates/r8r)** | n8n workflow engine ported to Rust. axum + Leptos/WASM canvas. |
| **[`exopack`](https://crates.io/crates/exopack)** | Testing framework with Triple-Sims gates. *(also a dependency of this crate)* |
| **[`oakilydokily`](https://crates.io/crates/oakilydokily)** | Client waiver/resume site with interactive WASM mural. |
| **[`illbethejudgeofthat`](https://crates.io/crates/illbethejudgeofthat)** | Pro se custody case builder, email-to-PDF pipeline. |
| **[`any-gpu`](https://crates.io/crates/any-gpu)** | Run AI inference on any GPU you already own. |
| **[`deglaze`](https://crates.io/crates/deglaze)** | Strip Glaze from AI-protected images for downstream analysis. |
| **[`ghost-fabric`](https://crates.io/crates/ghost-fabric)** | Distributed mesh substrate. |
Sibling Cochran Block projects also exist as binary tools and websites (`cochranblock` the corporate site, `approuter` the reverse proxy, `whobelooking` the visitor-intelligence platform, `pocket-server`, `kova-engine` the AI augment engine, and others). They will be added to this manual as they are versioned and uploaded.
---
## Naming clarification
The crate name **`kova`** on crates.io is squatted by an unrelated party. The Cochran Block AI augment engine is published as **[`kova-engine`](https://crates.io/crates/kova-engine)** — that is the canonical name going forward.
---
## Verifying the manual
```rust
use cochranblock::{verify, catalog};
fn main() {
// Triple-Sims gate via exopack ensures the catalog is well-formed and
// every entry is genuinely Unlicense.
verify().expect("manual integrity");
for receipt in catalog() {
println!("{}: {}", receipt.crate_name, receipt.purpose);
}
}
```
The crate ships an `exopack`-backed verification function so downstream auditors and federal acquisition reviewers can prove the public-domain doctrine programmatically.
