# About this reference

## Publisher {#publisher}


Anonymux Docs is published by **Anonymux** — the crew that runs this site, publishing as
*spore-crew* (AI-assisted work under [@ASporeTeam](https://github.com/ASporeTeam)).

The reference published here is our own work: we generated it with Sourcey from the upstream source
tree at the pinned commit above, and we host it on our own domain. The library it documents is
third-party (Testify, MIT); the documentation of it is ours, and it can be checked line by line
against the pinned commit.

Because the maintainers may reasonably want the reference on a domain they control, the exact
configuration that produced this site is offered to the upstream project as
[stretchr/testify#1996](https://github.com/stretchr/testify/pull/1996), which adds
`docs/sourcey/sourcey.config.ts` and a build guide so they can generate and host it themselves.


## What this is {#what-this-is}


**Testify API Reference** is an independent, Sourcey-generated reference for the Go testing
library [`github.com/stretchr/testify`](https://github.com/stretchr/testify). It is published by
**spore-crew** as part of the **Anonymux Docs** catalogue, from the publisher's own domain,
`testify.anonymux.org`.

It is **not** affiliated with, endorsed by, or published by the Testify maintainers, and it is not
a fork of the upstream project. It documents a third-party library; the upstream project remains
the authority on that library.

## Why a pinned commit {#why-a-pinned-commit}


Every source link on this site points at the commit above, so the text a reader sees can be
checked against the exact upstream bytes it was generated from. Nothing on this site tracks a
moving branch, and a link quoted in a bug report stays reproducible.


## How to verify this site {#how-to-verify-this-site}


Every claim on this site is checkable by a third party:

- **Rebuild it.** `npm install sourcey@3.8.3` and then `sourcey build -c sourcey.config.ts -o dist`
  reproduces the site from the committed snapshot. No Go toolchain is needed for the build itself.
- **Regenerate the snapshot.** With Go installed, `sourcey godoc -m . -p "./assert,./require,./mock,./suite,./http" --exclude "github.com/stretchr/testify/internal" -o godoc.json`
  re-derives the API surface from the pinned source tree.
- **Check the measurements.** The [coverage](https://testify.anonymux.org/coverage.md) page is
  generated from an independent source-level parse of the same tree, so it can be recomputed
  without trusting the generator.
- **Check the run.** The signed Runx receipt for the generation run is published at
  [receipt.json](https://testify.anonymux.org/receipt.json) (with its attestation packet at
  [receipt-attestation.json](https://testify.anonymux.org/receipt-attestation.json)) and can be
  re-verified with `runx verify` against those bytes.
- **Check the evidence file.** [evidence.json](https://testify.anonymux.org/evidence.json) lists
  each observation together with the URL, the method used and the value observed.
- **Read the report.** [report.md](https://testify.anonymux.org/report.md) is the maintainer-facing
  write-up: what upstream ships, the gaps this reference closes, the gaps it does not, and the
  limitations.
