It evolved from early conceptual kernels into a full multi-language implementation — TypeScript core, Python distribution, Next.js interfaces — ready for scrutiny and real use.</p> <h2> Demo </h2> <p><strong>Primary link:</strong> <a href="https://github.com/Kuonirad/MCOP-Framework-2.0" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://github.com/Kuonirad/MCOP-Framework-2.0</a></p> <p><strong>Try it locally:</strong></p> <div class="highlight js-code-highlight"> <pre class="highlight plaintext"><code> bash git clone https://github.com/Kuonirad/MCOP-Framework-2.0.git cd MCOP-Framework-2.0 pnpm install pnpm test # 96.6% coverage pnpm build &amp;&amp; pnpm start </code></pre> </div> ai verifiableai
