Circuit grade
cockpit: B
85% of the points that apply, read from conn3xorg/circuit-cockpit at v0.1.0 on 2 November 2026. That's a pass.This tells you what we checked. It doesn't tell you the circuit is safe, because no grade can: it runs as root on your servers, so read it before you run it.

How to read this
Every point comes from a CI file, a workflow run or a signature that a script read. A README can't earn one. So a pass here means CI ran what it says; a miss can mean the work was done and never written into CI, which we count the same way. The rubric lists every check, what it's worth and what it can't see.
The CI run we read is on GitHub, so you can check our reading.
