Architecture summary

Scibudy is Python-first:

• research_mcp/ contains the runtime, MCP server, CLI, and analysis stack
• web/ contains the UI source and distributable build artifacts
• bin/scibudy-install.mjs is the npm/bootstrap wrapper
• user runtime state is stored under the app home, not in the source tree

Product model

• base profile: CPU-safe runtime and Codex integration
• analysis profile: full-text analysis workflow
• gpu-local profile: local model environment
• full profile: all layers together
