# Test WOLF locally

This package is a private WOLF 0.6.0 preview for macOS 12 or later. It runs on
Apple Silicon and Intel Macs. It opens with one generated test WAV so you can
see the product before pointing it at any real session material.

## Open the preview

1. Keep the entire `WOLF Preview 0.6.0` folder together.
2. Control-click `OPEN WOLF PREVIEW.command`, choose **Open**, then confirm.
3. WOLF will open with one generated local WAV in its package-local catalog.

Because this preview is not yet Developer ID signed or notarized, macOS may
require the Control-click step. If it still blocks the launcher, open **System
Settings → Privacy & Security** and choose **Open Anyway** for the item you just
tried to open. Do not disable Gatekeeper globally.

## What to try

- Search for `bass`, `120 bpm`, or `wolf`.
- Select the generated recording and inspect why it matched.
- Audition the waveform and look for clear source/provenance information.
- Open Foundry to understand the path from recordings to reviewable samples.
- If you are comfortable, add a small folder of original WAV or AIFF recordings.

## Safety boundary

- WOLF does not edit, rename, move, normalize, or delete source recordings.
- The preview catalog stays inside this extracted folder.
- The included audio is a generated test signal, not Grant's source material.
- This package does not install or load an AU or VST3 plug-in.
- No cloud account, telemetry, publishing step, or external service is enabled.

Quit WOLF when finished. Delete the extracted preview folder to remove the
package and its local test catalog.

## Useful feedback

Tell us where you hesitated. In particular: could you find a sound the way you
remember it; did the match explanation earn your trust; was the original
source obvious before export; and what felt slower than returning to the DAW?
