Cypher

Cypher is an incubating core Elixpo application for private information and account workflows. The current repository preserves the original Safe Cypher prototype while the project is prepared for its next stage of active development.

The existing implementation explores Firebase-backed authentication, encrypted data storage, and role-based teacher and administrator workflows. It is development software: do not use it to store production secrets until a security review and supported release are published.

1. Clone the canonical repository:

   git clone https://github.com/elixpo/cypher.git
   cd cypher

2. Install the dependencies used by the development utilities:

   npm install

3. Configure a development Firebase project. Never commit service-account credentials or production secrets.

4. Run the relevant Node.js or Python utility, or serve the browser application with a local static web server.

The repository does not yet publish a stable setup or release contract. The development roadmap will replace these prototype instructions as the core product is rebuilt.
