Brownfield projects

Use the minimal integration profile when the project already builds and you want evidence without adopting Axint's generation, memory, or project setup.

axint run \
  --integration=minimal \
  --local-only \
  --advisory \
  --no-fix \
  --dir /path/to/MyApp \
  --scheme MyApp \
  --changed Sources/Feature.swift

--integration=minimal enforces the other safety properties even when their explicit flags are omitted.

The contract

Minimal mode guarantees:

• no source generation
• no project instructions, memory, session, or MCP installation
• no hosted or network checks
• no automatic fixes
• no .axint directory written into the project
• no durable artifacts unless --output-dir is supplied
• no unconfirmed static finding blocks the run

Xcode still writes DerivedData to the operating system's temporary directory unless you pass --derived-data. That is build output, not project integration.

Keep a receipt outside the project

axint run \
  --integration=minimal \
  --dir /path/to/MyApp \
  --scheme MyApp \
  --output-dir /path/to/proof-receipts/my-app

The selected directory receives latest.json, latest.md, command logs, and the test result bundle when tests run. Without --output-dir, minimal mode returns the report to stdout and leaves no durable Axint artifact.

Static findings in minimal mode

Minimal mode preserves every finding but sets unconfirmed findings to non-blocking. A finding can become confirmed when Xcode emits a matching error. A compiler-shaped finding can become suppressed when the selected build passes. Accessibility, interaction, privacy, design, and runtime advisories remain visible because compiler success does not evaluate them.

Use the evidence model for the exact states.

Full integration later

Move to the default axint run profile only when the project benefits from durable sessions, project context, feedback signals, and the full agent workflow. Minimal mode does not silently graduate the project into that setup.
