Prove there is a human before you let them into the nest.

Name

awnest — Prove there is a human before you let them into the nest.

The problem it solves

Any surface an agent can use, a bot can flood. CAPTCHA is hostile to the humans it is meant to serve and is beaten by the machines it is meant to stop, so the check has to be something other than a puzzle -- and every check that does exist fails OPEN, because "we could not tell" and "it is fine" reach the caller as the same empty value.

Instead of trusting / you check

instead of trusting
that there is a person on the other end
you check
a verdict with evidence, where "we could not tell" is not "yes"

Adopt it alone

Gate one action behind a human check and watch an automated caller fail it.

Install

install
pip install awnest

It also judges whether the runner pool is big enough for the queue it is draining, and can ask a host to grow it -- reserving capacity is zero-sum, so a saturated pool needs more of it, not a different share of it.

The ecosystem this belongs to

Every Aitherium repository publishes an aither-manifest.json beside its page, and each surface reads all of them — so the network is browsable from any node in it.
