I was tired of repos that say they run but don't

BootProof is a tool that verifies whether repositories actually boot and run successfully by building evidence-based execution plans, observing real system health, and generating signed attestations—rejecting claims of success without proof. It provides a "Living Receipt" (a self-contained, cryptographically signed HTML file) that travelers with repositories and can be verified locally, plus a GitHub Action called Receipt Gate that blocks PR merges unless BootProof confirms actual boots. The tool includes additional features like health verification, SBOM generation, and deterministic repair suggestions to ensure transparency and accountability in repository deployment claims.
