crucible-gen¶

crucible-gen writes synthetic GGUF seeds and, by default, structure-aware mutated variants.

crucible-gen [flags]

Flags¶

Flag	Default	Meaning
`--output`	`./corpus/generated`	Destination directory
`--count`	`50`	Number of mutated variants
`--seed`	`0`	Mutation seed; zero requests a random seed
`--mutate`	`true`	Also write mutated variants
`--arch`	`false`	Add architecture-targeted model-loader seeds
`--clip`	`false`	Add CLIP/vision-model-targeted seeds
`--talos`	`false`	Write historical vulnerability-pattern reconstruction seeds to `corpus/reconstructed/`

Generated material¶

The structural set includes a minimal file, a non-trivial tensor/metadata file, large descriptor sets, metadata value types, common tensor types, nested arrays, alignment variants, dimension edge cases, and mixed tensor types. --arch and --clip extend that set for deeper loaders.

When mutation is enabled, the requested --count controls mutated variants; it is not the total number of output files because the structural seeds are written as well.

# Deterministic mutation sequence for this generator version
crucible-gen --output ./corpus/gguf --count 200 --seed 42

# Structural seeds only
crucible-gen --output ./corpus/gguf --mutate=false

Generation does not prove target reachability. Run harness-smoke and preflight against the built target before treating a corpus as useful.
