BATEN CODE
The certainty standard for deterministic code.
Logical & Physical Integrity Audit for Source Code
Standard: Baten Invariant Certification System (BICS)
Engine: Rust | AST + semantic analysis | Deterministic
What is BATEN CODE?
BATEN CODE is a code certification engine. It scans your source code against
the BICS invariant system and produces a single, reproducible Integrity Index —
a score that reflects the structural health of your codebase.
It is not a linter. It is not AI. It is a deterministic certification authority
for source code, in the same way a notary certifies a legal document.
When your score reaches STABLE (≥ 80%), you can request a D7_SEAL —
a cryptographic proof that your code passed the BATEN standard.
Features
- One-click audit — click the BATEN icon in the editor title bar to audit the open file or entire project
- Integrity Index — a single score (0–100%) with status: SOVEREIGN / STABLE / FRAGILE / CRITICAL
- 8 BICS invariants — covering memory safety, structural complexity, unsafe APIs, and more
- Multi-language — Rust, C, C++, Python, JavaScript, TypeScript, and more
- Detailed report — Markdown audit report with violations grouped by invariant and severity
- File breakdown — top affected files ranked by severity
- Contamination ratio — how many files are affected vs. total files scanned
- Scoring methodology — fully transparent, documented at the end of every report
- D7_SEAL — cryptographic certification for code that passes the BICS threshold (PRO)
- Audit history — reports stored in
.baten/audit/ at the project root
BICS Invariants
| Invariant |
Severity |
What it detects |
FIELD-SPIRAL |
CRITICAL |
Memory allocation imbalance — probable leaks |
FIELD-SHIELD |
HIGH |
Unsafe string operations — strcpy, sprintf, eval() |
FIELD-DECREE |
HIGH |
Unchecked return values — silent allocation failures |
BATEN-FLUX |
MEDIUM |
Excessive function length — hidden state accumulation |
FIELD-ENTROPY |
MEDIUM |
Deep nesting — unreachable error paths |
EIGEN-VORTEX |
CRITICAL |
Circular capture in closures — lifetime torsion (Rust) |
FIELD-BRIDGE |
LOW |
Too many parameters — grouping candidates |
SOURCE-NODE |
LOW |
Magic numbers — unnamed constants |
Scoring
Score = (clean files / total files) × 100 − severity penalty
- The base score reflects the proportion of unaffected files
- Only CRITICAL and HIGH violations drive the severity penalty
- MEDIUM and LOW violations are captured by the contamination ratio
- The severity penalty is capped at 50% of the base score
| Status |
Score |
Meaning |
| SOVEREIGN |
95–100% |
Certifiable. D7_SEAL issuable. |
| STABLE |
80–94% |
Healthy. D7_SEAL pending review. |
| FRAGILE |
60–79% |
Structural risk. Address CRITICAL and HIGH first. |
| CRITICAL |
0–59% |
Significant violations. Not certifiable. |
Installation
- Open VSCode
- Press
Ctrl+Shift+X to open Extensions
- Click
··· → Install from VSIX
- Select
baten-code-1.0.26.vsix
- Reload Window (
Ctrl+Shift+P → Developer: Reload Window)
Usage
- Open any source file in VSCode
- Click the BATEN diamond icon in the editor title bar
- The audit runs — a Markdown report opens in
.baten/audit/
- Review your Integrity Index and resolve violations
- Re-audit until you reach STABLE (≥ 80%)
- Request your D7_SEAL at batencore.com
Report Structure
Every audit produces a Markdown report containing:
- Audit context — target, language, file count, engine speed
- Integrity Index — score and status
- Severity summary — CRITICAL / HIGH / MEDIUM / LOW counts
- Detected anomalies — grouped by invariant, with file and line
- File breakdown — top 15 affected files by severity
- Certification block — D7_SEAL status
- Scoring methodology — transparent formula, publicly documented
The D7_SEAL
The D7_SEAL is a cryptographic certificate issued by BATEN when a codebase
passes the BICS certification threshold.
