# Rust retrieval core with provenance: vault-crawl.

vault-crawl provides a Rust retrieval core with provenance, content-addressed storage, and SQLite search. For a team, use this source to retain inspectable source records behind retrieved context.

[Source repository](https://github.com/b2bvic/vault-crawl)

## Team workflow

Keep hosted model clients as the execution layer. Evaluate these files and checks before adopting the pattern for a team.

## Quick start

Requires GitHub CLI, Git, and Rust with Cargo. This example inspects the workspace manifest before compiling the tool.

```sh
gh repo clone b2bvic/vault-crawl
cd vault-crawl
cargo metadata --no-deps --format-version 1
```

## How it works

Rust retrieval and storage core with provenance, content-addressed blobs, and SQLite search. Provides read-only status and diagnostic commands for the stored corpus.

## Limits

The public core exposes retrieval and read-only diagnostics. Browser automation and private delivery services are outside this repository.
