# Identity Compatibility

> Names retained during the CTPF Research Harness identity transition

CTPF Research Harness uses a compatibility-first identity transition. Display, repository, CLI,
package, runtime state, credential, and evidence names are separate contracts; changing one does
not imply that every other name changes at the same time.

## Current and retained names

| Layer                      | Current posture                                                               |
| -------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Display name               | **CTPF Research Harness**                                                     |
| Subtitle                   | **Trust-boundary testing for agentic systems**                                |
| Repository                 | `q-uestionable-AI/CTPF`                                                       |
| Documentation              | `ctpf.q-uestionable.ai` is canonical; `docs.q-uestionable.ai` is transitional |
| CLI                        | Prefer `ctpf`; `qai` remains a functional alias                               |
| Primary PyPI distribution  | `ctpf` from v0.12.0                                                           |
| Compatibility distribution | `q-uestionable-ai` requires the exact same-version `ctpf`                     |
| Python imports             | Retain `q_ai`                                                                 |
| User state and database    | Retain `~/.qai/qai.db`                                                        |
| Environment variables      | Retain `QAI_*`                                                                |
| Keyring service            | Retain `q-ai`                                                                 |
| MCP handshake identity     | Retain `q-ai`                                                                 |
| Evidence schema            | Retain schema v1 and `qai_version`                                            |
| Finding IDs                | Preserve every `QAI-*` identifier                                             |
| SARIF driver identity      | Retain `q-ai` for compatibility                                               |

Both console entry points invoke the same Typer application and use the same local state:

```bash theme={null}
ctpf --version
qai --version
```

Existing installers can continue with `pip install q-uestionable-ai`; from v0.12.0 that project
contains no duplicate import package and delegates installation to `ctpf`.

Historical traces, bundles, captured commands, release notes, and research artifacts keep the
names recorded when they were produced. They are reconciled through this mapping rather than
rewritten.
