Open-source verification layer
Audit the local-processing claim yourself.
Trust Checker is a small, open-source verification tool for auditing whether QX Flow processes files locally in the browser without uploading raw file data to a backend.
What it captures
- Every network request during an audit window.
- In-page file selection and memory-read hooks.
- Optional browser-session recording as a timestamped video artifact.
- A plain-text report plus JSON evidence files.
What this version delivers
- CLI mode for technical users who want source code, terminal control, and raw evidence files.
- Local GUI mode for business users who prefer a button-based flow without touching code after startup.
- Both modes share the same audit core in ./trust-checker-core.js.
Pass criteria
No data upload detected
No upload-like request body and no POST, PUT, PATCH, or DELETE request seen in the audit window.
No API calls during file processing
No XHR, fetch, websocket, or /api/ request seen during the observed file-processing window.
File only processed in browser memory
A file-selection event and at least one FileReader or Blob memory-read event are observed, with no upload-like request.
No data stored on cloud
No remote upload-like request is observed.
Important boundary
Same-origin control-plane requests such as auth bootstrap, license key fetches, payment or version bootstrap, and analytics beacons are still recorded into evidence files, but they are not treated as file-upload failures.
If one evidence point cannot be proven from the captured hooks, Trust Checker reports it as INFO, not WARN. That means the result is inconclusive for that single point, not that risky behavior was detected.
Recommended audit procedure
- Start from a clean browser session.
- Open QX Flow and complete sign-in before arming the audit window when using CLI mode.
- Upload a representative CSV, JSON, or Excel file, apply one or more rules, then stop the audit immediately after processing finishes.
- Archive audit-report.txt, audit-summary.json, and the video artifact when available.
