`qzx scaffoldJavaScript`

What it does

Creates a basic scaffolding for a JavaScript/Node.js program

Command maturity: Alpha

Available for real use and feedback while its interface and behavior can still evolve. This is the current development-checkout assessment. Every future immutable release tag preserves the exact assessment shipped by that version. Available in PyPI 0.2.2.0.6a11. This page documents the 0.2.2.0.6a11 alpha development checkout.

Safety and effects

Can mutate state

No documented dry-run parameter

No native program invocation in the current classification

No documented network use

No inherent elevation requirement

This safety classification was reviewed by OpenAI Codex (authorized project audit) against implementation digest sha256:5a397846e970dfd90fc318e60189018984ec3b5036d20aa8c0149c27381022ae on 2026-07-30.

Errors and limits

The public contract requires success=false and a descriptive message on failure. This catalog does not yet declare a command-specific error taxonomy; inspect the result and do not invent error codes.

QZX is alpha software. Optional dependencies, permissions, and host capabilities can change the result.

Evidence workflow: requires an isolated disposable target.
