FLUX Simulation Engine

The FLUX Simulation Engine runs a FLUX bundle, a declared universe of synthetic customers, against the FLUID contract it refers to. The same bundle and the same seed give the same bytes on every system the project's CI checks (Linux and macOS, Python 3.11 to 3.13). A run that passes its checks can be packed into an evidence archive. Anyone can check offline that the archive's files match its manifest, and the report inside says plainly what the run does not show. The command is fluxsim.

New here? Start with First evidence pack in five minutes. It needs uv and nothing else.

How these docs are organised

You want toGo toIt is
Learn by doingTutorialA lesson that works the first time.
Get a job doneHow-to guidesSteps for one goal, for a reader who knows the basics.
Look something upReferenceThe command line, every error code, the Python API, the schemas.
Understand whyExplanationBackground: the loop, determinism, the seam, the evidence pack.

Every command and file on the tutorial, how-to and explanation pages is run by the project's tests, so what you read is what the engine does. The one exception is the install line: it installs the published package, so it cannot test this checkout, and the First run workflow runs the same commands from a built wheel instead.

What it is, and what it is not

It is a deterministic runtime: it takes a declared scenario and produces rows, run records and an evidence pack, and it refuses to ship a bundle whose declared fidelity checks fail.

It is not a claim that the simulated customers behave like real ones. Every evidence pack ends with a section that says so, and in this release the engine always reports validity: not asserted.
