rea-agents 6.5.0 发布:增强 JavaScript 跨 bundle 分析与离线证据保留
morluto/rea 发布 rea-agents 6.5.0。亮点包括:在不扩大所选源码范围的前提下分析指定 JavaScript 文件并恢复跨 bundle 关系;跨二进制、托管代码、Android、Dart、WASM 与网络工作流读取紧凑摘要并分页保留 Evidence;离线检查 SQLite 快照、数据包与信号记录、WebAssembly、Rust 依赖元数据及 Electron fuses;分析或清理失败时仍保留已完成 Evidence 与部分观察。变更涵盖 JavaScript 源码选择、code-split 恢复、包导入别名解析、保留分析视图与托管程序集成员检查。官方注明 CLI/MCP 覆盖范围为 Linux x64 + Wakaru 1.14.0 及自有 esbuild/webpack fixtures,其他宿主、版本与任意应用等价性尚未验证。
AI推荐理由 官方 release notes,信息密度高且明确标注了验证范围(Linux x64、Wakaru 1.14.0、esbuild/webpack fixtures,其他宿主与任意应用等价性未验证),可信度较好。但 rea 属于逆向工程/二进制分析工具,与 AI、模型、Agent 主线关联弱,对主流 AI 开发者价值有限,故兴趣分中等。

Official release notes (https://github.com/morluto/rea/releases/tag/rea-agents-6.5.0)
## [6.5.0](https://github.com/morluto/rea/compare/rea-agents-6.4.0...rea-agents-6.5.0) (2026-10-13)
Provider prerequisites and recorded verification scope are listed in [the testing guide](docs/testing.md).
### Highlights
- Analyze selected JavaScript files and recover cross-bundle relationships without expanding the selected source scope.
- Read compact summaries and page retained Evidence across binary, managed, Android, Dart, WASM and network workflows.
- Inspect SQLite snapshots, packet and signal recordings, WebAssembly, Rust dependency metadata and Electron fuses offline.
- Keep completed Evidence and partial observations available when analysis or cleanup fails.
### Changes
- **JavaScript source selection:** analyze exact application paths without expanding imports into the selected scope. Unselected files retain identity and explicit unknown coverage; summary delivery remains separate from source selection. ([#1944](https://github.com/morluto/rea/pull/1944), [issue morluto/rea#1848](https://github.com/morluto/rea/issues/1848)). Thanks @kaoru0822-kitauji, @N0zoM1z0.
- **Code-split recovery:** recover related bundles from multiple selected inputs, retaining per-file provenance and downstream cross-chunk imports. Recorded CLI/MCP coverage is Linux x64 with Wakaru 1.14.0 and source-owned esbuild/webpack fixtures; other hosts, releases and arbitrary application equivalence remain unverified. ([#1686](https://github.com/morluto/rea/pull/1686), [issue morluto/rea#1605](https://github.com/morluto/rea/issues/1605)). Thanks @JingHao-Leon, @pionxzh.
- **Package imports:** resolve exact package import aliases using the selected loader and package ancestry, rather than guessing sibling files. ([#1862](https://github.com/morluto/rea/pull/1862), [issue morluto/rea#1838](https://github.com/morluto/rea/issues/1838)). Thanks @AWUQAQ, @mvanhorn.
- **Retained analysis views:** opt into compact inventory/WASM, managed metadata, Android manifest, Dart AOT, Mach-O and EVM summaries, then page retained Evidence without rerunning analysis. Summary delivery preserves the complete recorded result and its original coverage. ([#2122](https://github.com/morluto/rea/pull/2122), [#2193](https://github.com/morluto/rea/pull/2193), [#2413](https://github.com/morluto/rea/pull/2413), [#2438](https://github.com/morluto/rea/pull/2438), [#2455](https://github.com/morluto/rea/pull/2455), [#2634](https://github.com/morluto/rea/pull/2634), [#2308](https://github.com/morluto/rea/pull/2308), [9a18251](https://github.com/morluto/rea/commit/9a18251426f891e6a24856b715ef8002ab8b9610)). Thanks @kaoru0822-kitauji, @N0zoM1z0.
- **Managed assemblies:** Select declaring types when inspecting members, decode inspected `ldstr` literals with independent coverage, and page retained member summaries. Call and field targets expose `target_declaring_type` and `field_declaring_type`, including supported generic method targets; unresolved metadata remains unknown. ([#1706](https://github.com/morluto/rea/pull/1706), [#2125](https://github.com/morluto/rea/pull/2125), [issue morluto/rea#2121](https://github.com/morluto/rea/issues/2121), [#2162](https://github.com/morluto/rea/pull/2162), [issue morluto/rea#2158](https://github.com/morluto/rea/issues/2158), [#3061](https://github.com/morluto/rea/pull/3061), [issue morluto/rea#3010](https://github.com/morluto/rea/issues/3010), [#2163](https://github.com/morluto/rea/pull/2163), [issue morluto/rea#2160](https://github.com/morluto/rea/issues/2160)). Thanks @kaoru0822-kitauji, @N0zoM1z0, @Nelglor, @skoodster.
- **Packet captures:** inspect saved packets with bounded TShark output, compact capture summaries and retained pages; discover installed protocol/field definitions. Recorded real-engine coverage uses Linux and Wireshark 4.6.6; native Windows/macOS and Bun behavior remain unverified. ([#2318](https://github.com/morluto/rea/pull/2318), [#2340](https://github.com/morluto/rea/pull/2340), [#2496](https://github.com/morluto/rea/pull/2496)). Thanks @3QL, @N0zoM1z0, @Olorinm.
- **Recorded signals:** decode existing recordings and discover installed decoders/options through caller-supplied sigrok-cli 0.7.2. This is Linux-only and requires util-linux `prlimit`; it acquires no hardware samples. ([#2339](https://github.com/morluto/rea/pull/2339), [#2487](https://github.com/morluto/rea/pull/2487)). Thanks @N0zoM1z0, @Olorinm.
- **Web captures:** derive an inferred method/origin/path-template API surface from retained HAR data including observed query-parameter names while retaining unknowns; query values, headers and bodies remain excluded. ([#1891](https://github.com/morluto/rea/pull/1891), [#2982](https://github.com/morluto/rea/pull/2982), [issue morluto/rea#2913](https://github.com/morluto/rea/issues/2913)). Thanks @mvanhorn, @wunianze666-netizen, @zhangguiping-xydt.
- **QUIC captures:** inspect retained aioquic 1.5.0 JSON qlog 0.3 objects and page traces/streams/observations. Other qlog layouts remain unsupported; overlap and loss declarations do not prove retransmission or network loss. ([#2277](https://github.com/morluto/rea/pull/2277)). Thanks @LuisTaffelli, @N0zoM1z0.
- **Fiddler captures:** inspect native SAZ archives with retained HTTP provenance and bounded decoding. Recorded producer coverage is the pinned public encoding corpus; current Fiddler Everywhere variants and Bun-native execution remain unverified. ([#2409](https://github.com/morluto/rea/pull/2409)). Thanks @N0zoM1z0, @zahhak.
- **SQLite snapshots:** inspect an explicitly selected offline database with table/column selection and bounded Evidence. This operation requires Node 24.x >=24.15 or 26+ with `DatabaseSync.limits`; supported Node 22 and earlier 24 runtimes cannot use it. A live database/WAL copy does not establish an atomic snapshot. ([#2271](https://github.com/morluto/rea/pull/2271)). Thanks @N0zoM1z0, @Y0UW1SH.
- **WASM artifacts:** Inspect local modules with bring-your-own WABT 1.0.42 without executing them. Compare imports/exports from two complete core-module inspection Evidence records without requiring an active WABT installation; unsupported signatures and duplicate identities remain unknown, and comparisons do not establish runtime compatibility. Recorded real-tool inspection coverage is macOS arm64. ([#1533](https://github.com/morluto/rea/pull/1533), [issue morluto/rea#884](https://github.com/morluto/rea/issues/884), [#2464](https://github.com/morluto/rea/pull/2464), [issue morluto/rea#2356](https://github.com/morluto/rea/issues/2356)). Thanks @matbrgz, @N0zoM1z0, @thangldw.
- **Go binaries:** inspect embedded build metadata, including file-backed unmapped Mach-O debug segments. ([#1363](https://github.com/morluto/rea/pull/1363), [7fb097d](https://github.com/morluto/rea/commit/7fb097d72c9931dd5dfae481ad2b9d3bb6029f15)). Thanks @Y0UW1SH.
- **Flutter APKs:** identify snapshot/engine builds and inspect AOT structure without an external engine. Recorded real APK coverage uses the documented Flutter Gallery fixture; macOS/Windows and complete pool semantics remain unverified, and pool coverage stays partial. ([#1582](https://github.com/morluto/rea/pull/1582)). Thanks @3QL.
- **HarmonyOS packages:** inventory HAP/HSP/App Pack structures without executing code. The recorded real workflow covers one pinned HAP through repository-built CLI/MCP; installed-package and real HSP/App Pack coverage remain unverified. ([#1447](https://github.com/morluto/rea/pull/1447)). Thanks @BaaRai.
- **Ghidra raw inputs and references:** compatible Linux/macOS Ghidra profiles accept caller-selected raw architecture/entry information and expose typed incoming references at exact addresses. Windows Ghidra P0 admits the raw NMOS 6502 profile described below; other raw targets and the incoming-reference facet remain outside Windows P0. ([#1868](https://github.com/morluto/rea/pull/1868), [issue morluto/rea#1836](https://github.com/morluto/rea/issues/1836), [#1715](https://github.com/morluto/rea/pull/1715), [issue morluto/rea#1245](https://github.com/morluto/rea/issues/1245)). Thanks @bugstan, @casesolved-co-uk, @mvanhorn, @N0zoM1z0.
- **Ghidra MIPS:** Add bounded MIPS32r2/o32 relocatable objects, soft-float integer-register storage, admitted MIPS16 shared ELF, and a narrowly admitted recordless legacy MIPS32 executable profile. The latter pins an endian-matched 32-bit language and records inferred o32 as an analysis assumption. Admission follows each documented ABI/flag/relocation boundary. ([#1949](https://github.com/morluto/rea/pull/1949), [issue morluto/rea#1937](https://github.com/morluto/rea/issues/1937), [#1950](https://github.com/morluto/rea/pull/1950), [issue morluto/rea#1938](https://github.com/morluto/rea/issues/1938), [#1991](https://github.com/morluto/rea/pull/1991), [issue morluto/rea#1851](https://github.com/morluto/rea/issues/1851), [#1898](https://github.com/morluto/rea/pull/1898), [issue morluto/rea#1620](https://github.com/morluto/rea/issues/1620)). Thanks @AurelioB, @BaaRai, @bqw371, @kaoru0822-kitauji, @N0zoM1z0.
- **Ghidra RISC-V:** admit little-endian RV32/RV64 `ET_EXEC` ELF declaring the supported double-float ABI. Relocatable/shared, big-endian and other ABI profiles remain refused; see [the profile and recorded lane](docs/ghidra-riscv.md). ([#2151](https://github.com/morluto/rea/pull/2151)). Thanks @NIU-123370.
- **PSP static ELF profile:** the Ghidra profile is Linux x64, bounded little-endian ELF32 `ET_EXEC` with the documented PSP/ABI declarations and a compatible caller-installed Allegrex extension. PRX, shared/relocatable images, PBP/ISO/CSO and runtime emulation are outside scope. Historical extension experiments are separate from public-provider verification; real public Ghidra PSP coverage remains unverified. ([#1599](https://github.com/morluto/rea/pull/1599)). Thanks @jaelliot.
- **Ghidra analysis settings:** apply validated analyzer overrides before analysis while retaining the selected analysis profile. ([#1913](https://github.com/morluto/rea/pull/1913)). Thanks @akushonkamen, @kaoru0822-kitauji, @N0zoM1z0.
- **Attached native IDA MCP:** add an optional native bridge alongside existing legacy/headless profiles. Recorded native runs use Linux IDA Free 9.4 with a navigation correction and Windows IDA Pro 9.3 with a loopback-listener change; stock native switching, native macOS and Windows IDA Free remain unverified. Attached databases remain read-only and are never saved or closed. ([#1544](https://github.com/morluto/rea/pull/1544)). Thanks @imissapixel, @N0zoM1z0.
- **Frida instrumentation:** add explicit local/remote target selection, caller-supplied scripts and retained messages, with script-read/input diagnostics and bounded message eviction. Recorded real coverage is the Linux local Node marker workflow; macOS, Windows and remote devices/servers remain unverified. Instrumentation executes foreign code and is destructive, not read-only. ([#1359](https://github.com/morluto/rea/pull/1359), [#2211](https://github.com/morluto/rea/pull/2211), [issue morluto/rea#2209](https://github.com/morluto/rea/issues/2209), [#2217](https://github.com/morluto/rea/pull/2217), [issue morluto/rea#2213](https://github.com/morluto/rea/issues/2213), [#2628](https://github.com/morluto/rea/pull/2628)). Thanks @dandgabr, @kaoru0822-kitauji, @N0zoM1z0.
- **Client setup:** register Qoder, Trae, ZCode, DeepSeek Harness, Kimi Code, Factory Droid and WorkBuddy through the existing scoped setup flow. DeepSeek is included from 6.5.0; the historical npm 6.4 check did not cover it. Live Trae and DeepSeek API integration remain unverified. ([#1564](https://github.com/morluto/rea/pull/1564), [#1572](https://github.com/morluto/rea/pull/1572), [#1573](https://github.com/morluto/rea/pull/1573), [#1929](https://github.com/morluto/rea/pull/1929), [issue morluto/rea#1839](https://github.com/morluto/rea/issues/1839), [#2744](https://github.com/morluto/rea/pull/2744), [#2309](https://github.com/morluto/rea/pull/2309), [#3041](https://github.com/morluto/rea/pull/3041), [issue morluto/rea#3040](https://github.com/morluto/rea/issues/3040)). Thanks @0xRafie, @BaaRai, @cainiao1992, @IvenKooLab, @whoishaha, @ysntony.
- **Website:** Add maintained language editions, persistent/system-aware themes, keyboard styling and nested Evidence indentation, plus the reverse-engineering models essay. A simpler home page and beginner journey connect platform prerequisites, client/provider setup and a supplied first investigation. ([#1779](https://github.com/morluto/rea/pull/1779), [issue morluto/rea#1022](https://github.com/morluto/rea/issues/1022), [#1699](https://github.com/morluto/rea/pull/1699), [#1714](https://github.com/morluto/rea/pull/1714), [#1894](https://github.com/morluto/rea/pull/1894), [#2250](https://github.com/morluto/rea/pull/2250), [#2432](https://github.com/morluto/rea/pull/2432), [#2732](https://github.com/morluto/rea/pull/2732), [#3274](https://github.com/morluto/rea/pull/3274)). Thanks @CassieFox23, @kaoru0822-kitauji, @N0zoM1z0.
- **Rust dependency metadata:** Inspect embedded cargo-auditable package/dependency records in ELF, PE and thin Mach-O without executing the file. Missing metadata and inferred compiler hashes retain explicit limitations; universal Mach-O requires a selected thin slice. ([#2456](https://github.com/morluto/rea/pull/2456)). Thanks @mvanhorn.
- **Electron fuses:** Read packaged fuse bytes and per-slice runtime implications without launching or modifying the app. Missing, truncated and unknown wires remain explicit; fuse observations do not prove other Inspector-enablement paths. ([#2399](https://github.com/morluto/rea/pull/2399)). Thanks @kaoru0822-kitauji, @mvanhorn, @N0zoM1z0.
- **Ghidra PowerPC:** Admit bounded ELF32 big-endian `ET_EXEC` PowerPC with an explicit language profile on supported Linux/macOS hosts. PPC64, DOL and other variants remain outside this lane; see [the profile and verification prerequisites](docs/ghidra-ppc.md). ([#1747](https://github.com/morluto/rea/pull/1747)). Thanks @arielfikru.
- **Reference-source summaries:** Use CLI `import-reference-source --detail summary` for compact manifest, count, state and path-outline output. The complete graph remains available and is still the default; hidden outline entries retain separate coverage counts. ([#2768](https://github.com/morluto/rea/pull/2768), [issue morluto/rea#2442](https://github.com/morluto/rea/issues/2442)). Thanks @matbrgz, @To3akaRin.
- **Recorded AArch64 crashes:** Decode 34 ABI register values per thread from supported Linux ELF64 little-endian core notes using the documented caller-provided Python dependencies. These are recorded facts, not proof of current process or library identity. ([#2505](https://github.com/morluto/rea/pull/2505), [issue morluto/rea#2353](https://github.com/morluto/rea/issues/2353)). Thanks @matbrgz, @NIU-123370.
- **Ghidra byte search:** Search initialized analyzed memory using wildcards, bit masks, address bounds and paged results. Unloaded, overlay and uninitialized blocks retain skipped coverage; this is not a raw-file search. ([#2341](https://github.com/morluto/rea/pull/2341)). Thanks @mvanhorn.
- **Raw NMOS 6502 images:** Analyze explicitly selected headerless images with Ghidra, including Windows P0, using a caller-selected entry and source mapping within the 16-bit address space. Cartridge parsing, reset-vector inference and 65C02/65816 are outside this profile. ([#2079](https://github.com/morluto/rea/pull/2079)). Thanks @Zhong-fan.
- **Swift String observations:** Ghidra function dossiers derive supported AArch64 Swift String literals from constant-register pairs at recognized use sites, retaining instruction/register provenance and explicit omissions. This is a bounded derivation, not a complete string inventory. ([#2049](https://github.com/morluto/rea/pull/2049), [issue morluto/rea#2030](https://github.com/morluto/rea/issues/2030)). Thanks @thefolahan.
- **Headless IDA procedure lookup:** Resolve addresses to canonical containing-procedure entries and identify the session’s admitted program document in the modern headless profile. Incomplete surveys remain errors; attached profiles do not advertise this containment capability. ([#2374](https://github.com/morluto/rea/pull/2374), [issue morluto/rea#2335](https://github.com/morluto/rea/issues/2335)). Thanks @nikolay-dementiev.
- **Passive browser attachment:** Six existing passive browser tools accept an explicit-port loopback browser WebSocket endpoint when HTTP target discovery is unavailable. Existing consent and target/origin checks remain required; this does not launch a browser or enable runtime instrumentation. ([#2346](https://github.com/morluto/rea/pull/2346)). Thanks @all-black-493.
- **Android DEX references:** Retain exact method descriptors and individual direct-invoke observations with source method, DEX entry, opcode and code-unit offset. These are static references; unavailable instruction facts remain separate from method-level usage totals. ([#2439](https://github.com/morluto/rea/pull/2439)). Thanks @LcokHcak.
- **Offline EVM metadata:** Retain bounded, lossless facts from plausible terminal Solidity CBOR root-map candidates. Candidates do not prove Solidity origin or source/compiler identity, and linked metadata is not fetched. ([#2790](https://github.com/morluto/rea/pull/2790)). Thanks @matbrgz.
### Fixes
- **JavaScript loader and export identity:** Respect import/require conditions and unavailable package metadata, keep export links separate from writes, and resolve default identifier exports to the value captured at the export statement. ([7e5cffa](https://github.com/morluto/rea/commit/7e5cffa2ae9dfc9afaeca0715110d4dd41c0dcdd), [322506d](https://github.com/morluto/rea/commit/322506d0c0d39d3cd1e2e1c285c2cc23cfa73ee7), [81f7638](https://github.com/morluto/rea/commit/81f763820319a762f003cf95651ed14ce9326a4c), [dae1e55](https://github.com/morluto/rea/commit/dae1e55381f0d6cfee7f2082d5d27b938e55704c)). Thanks @paoValle, @VarunGore36, @xu91102.
- **JavaScript traces:** Retain nested bridge calls and surviving early-return predicates. Honor node-ID match options, match route seeds against source values, and keep ambiguous runtime candidates unknown. ([0351328](https://github.com/morluto/rea/commit/0351328e54ce70ea3f2814482e76b132774aff48), [5031099](https://github.com/morluto/rea/commit/503109995f9dcf8a955585d39a344fc846d2f59e), [44c9d29](https://github.com/morluto/rea/commit/44c9d2924d5b95d7a86595e8d7b7cf4fd4f0f6ac), [5e79d46](https://github.com/morluto/rea/commit/5e79d468e5864204cbe79a7ca2898541cee5e012)). Thanks @jpdefo.
- **Browser comparison coverage:** Compare only known redirect response fields and retain network-selection recovery guidance alongside independent event changes. Missing response facts do not prove equality or a change. ([2b60e09](https://github.com/morluto/rea/commit/2b60e097f281f7708c69f1f7ba9263694547bcc0)).
- **Evidence comparison and ledger input:** Report display-only bundle differences as unchanged while retaining digests, and classify noncanonical bundle records as invalid caller input. ([030c477](https://github.com/morluto/rea/commit/030c47732833c9cedcc31db1309eb3a1ca2c62e8), [3a34ad3](https://github.com/morluto/rea/commit/3a34ad37bdb7b8debba0f6515ba85b80141f2716)).
- **Capture and admission cleanup:** Keep deleted-file observations and original bytes when a parent becomes a file, preserve unrelated I/O failures during cancellation, and require explicit pre-launch proof before releasing an unknown LLDB target owner. LLDB failure controls used simulated boundaries. ([e67c364](https://github.com/morluto/rea/commit/e67c3642c8920a2a9c0e231ee2f16f50b245df31), [2daeff4](https://github.com/morluto/rea/commit/2daeff4b243e1cd137c591ca394e18a1c05c8bbc), [45b6a7f](https://github.com/morluto/rea/commit/45b6a7fe8f51a89951aaa823ffa627f6f5453a33)). Thanks @SII-YDD, @xu91102.
- **Client configuration:** Validate MCP output-schema profiles before setup writes, ignore untrusted Gemini workspace settings before parsing them, and identify installed skills independently of marker-only client roots. ([0930e94](https://github.com/morluto/rea/commit/0930e94e077ab7fb4d695f62785919a8a25c2e21), [aade9bb](https://github.com/morluto/rea/commit/aade9bbcb79aa8504ab6921b25f8ab082aba78e7), [ba33c70](https://github.com/morluto/rea/commit/ba33c706d26b63e43308be50c0249c72cff62cc6)). Thanks @CmsChase, @paoValle, @sx4im.
- **Host tool discovery:** Share macOS Hopper launcher discovery across setup and runtime, preserve explicit paths, and report validated ADB and Apktool availability. ([7582f0d](https://github.com/morluto/rea/commit/7582f0dff29ae0e80c97b885ddd386ac61a92570), [e5deb83](https://github.com/morluto/rea/commit/e5deb832cb09bb524877d0df40f49d5b5bb7dea4)). Thanks @Chessing234, @kaoru0822-kitauji, @viniciusdsandrade.
- **SAZ encoding validation:** Reject invalid XML bytes, unsupported encodings and declarations that contradict the archive bytes, including records outside the selected request. ([1250aae](https://github.com/morluto/rea/commit/1250aaedd8b4d1e471d8a382f76418bde65c05d2)).
- **Managed member matching:** Keep malformed TypeDef list ownership unknown, distinguish constants during structural method matching, and accept legacy small exception-section sizes. ([3f6b575](https://github.com/morluto/rea/commit/3f6b5755b3e699bd9373641acffe0f2c5d2ab094), [ee5cfbe](https://github.com/morluto/rea/commit/ee5cfbe05cd309a88003c711721e67a3bee36554)).
- **Bounded diagnostics:** Bound SDK validation messages and terminal normalization before allocation while retaining diagnostics and explicit unknown final output sizes. ([7fb0a0c](https://github.com/morluto/rea/commit/7fb0a0cc577f7c9033a2674d877d8242b5864556), [1d826f3](https://github.com/morluto/rea/commit/1d826f304f032acfe69dad3ff824b300aacaeb43)). Thanks @CRYPTONIKAV.
- **Windows artifact classification:** identify `.exe`, `.com`, `.bat` and `.cmd` artifacts as launchable host executables. ([#1823](https://github.com/morluto/rea/pull/1823), [#1824](https://github.com/morluto/rea/pull/1824), [issue morluto/rea#1819](https://github.com/morluto/rea/issues/1819)). Thanks @dollarsmoney, @JasonBuildAI, @kaoru0822-kitauji.
- **CLI/MCP delivery:** defer command-specific startup work, bundle runtime entries, retain field/input correction details across output formats and preserve shared optional-provider lifetime. MCP selectors, paging continuation and retained partial-error references remain explicit; session liveness/provider-attribution corrections retain their controlled-provider verification limits.

See a feature in an app that you want in your own product? Ask your agent to investigate it with REA. It can inspect the app without its source code, explain how the feature works, show the evidence, and build a version for your project.
REA connects your agent to tools for inspecting native binaries, JavaScript and Electron apps, .NET assemblies, and websites. You can also use the same tools from your terminal. Analysis runs locally, and results include the evidence and limitations behind each conclusion.
Setup registers REA with your agent and installs matching workflow instructions. Native analysis can use an existing Hopper, Ghidra, or IDA installation; setup can optionally install Hopper with approval. Static JavaScript analysis needs no native analysis engine.
> **[Visit the REA website](https://rea.tools/)** for setup instructions, illustrated guides, and real case studies.
## Quick start
On Linux, Ghidra, JADX, firmware tool launches and static JavaScript/Electron
analysis require a procps-compatible `ps` on REA's `PATH` for process ownership
checks. Recovery steps are in `docs/installation.md` under
"Linux owned-process prerequisite".
### Set up your agent
With Node.js and npm installed, run:
```bash
npx rea-agents setup
```
Choose your agents, review the proposed changes, and approve them. Setup adds
REA's MCP server and matching workflow instructions, with backups of existing
configuration. Restart your agent afterward.
Setup supports Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Gemini CLI, Grok Build and
[other agents](docs/installation.md#supported-agents). See
[installation and setup](docs/installation.md) for provider configuration and
manual MCP registration.
### Ask your agent
```text
Understand how search works in the Notes app, show me the evidence, and build a
similar feature for my project.
```
Replace Notes with your target app and the feature you want to understand.
### Use the terminal
Inspect an extracted JavaScript/Electron app directory or ASAR:
```bash
npx -y rea-agents@latest analyze-javascript-application /absolute/path/to/app --json
```
The result includes modules, imports, Electron boundaries and their evidence.
Replace the path with your target, such as `"D:/apps/example"` on Windows.
To install the `rea` command for regular use:
```bash
npm install --global rea-agents
rea --help
```
For native analysis, configure a provider first. See the
[CLI and Evidence guide](docs/cli.md) for native commands, provider selection,
snapshots and scripting.
### Update REA
REA changes quickly, and new releases include frequent bug fixes. Keep your
installation up to date.
For a CLI installed with `npm install --global` or `bun add --global`:
```bash
rea update
```
Bun global updates require Bun 1.2.17 or later. With an older Bun release,
upgrade Bun manually before running `rea update`.
To refresh your agent registrations and skill, run the setup command printed
by the update.
If you use `npx`, update your agent setup with:
```bash
npx rea-agents@latest setup
```
Review the setup changes and restart your agent. For one-off CLI commands,
use `npx rea-agents@latest` followed by the command. With Bun, use
`bunx rea-agents@latest` in place of `npx rea-agents@latest`.
## How REA works
Your agent calls REA through MCP to inspect the target and trace relevant code.
REA returns findings with their evidence. The agent uses them to ask follow-up
questions, explain the behavior, or write and test an implementation.
CLI commands use the same workflows.

[Open the full-size figure](website/public/assets/figures/rea-investigation-flow.svg).
## What you can analyze
REA requires Node.js 22.x (>=22.19), 24.x (>=24.11), or 26+, plus npm.
Additional tools and host support depend on the target:

| Process behavior | Terminal output, interactions, exit and filesystem observations, and run comparisons | Linux/macOS with a native PTY; [process capture](docs/process-capture.md) |
Static JavaScript and .NET inspection read the supplied files without running
the application. Runtime capture runs or interacts with the selected target
using your user permissions; each runtime guide describes its effects.
For offline native-binary inspection, REA also supports caller-supplied GNU
objdump and Rizin. See the [reverse-engineering tools guide](docs/reverse-engineering-tools.md)
for provider setup, CLI commands, and Evidence limitations. REA does not install
or update either provider.
Native formats and host support vary by provider. See
[Hopper and Ghidra setup](docs/installation.md#hopper), the
[IDA guide](docs/ida-provider.md) (including an optional native MCP bridge), and
[experimental Windows Ghidra support](docs/windows-ghidra-p0.md).
Ghidra also supports [16-bit DOS analysis](docs/ghidra-dos.md).
For large binaries, raise the provider's startup deadline with
`REA_GHIDRA_STARTUP_TIMEOUT_MS` or `REA_HOPPER_STARTUP_TIMEOUT_MS`.
For provider selection, see the [CLI guide](docs/cli.md#choose-a-provider).
Check [release availability](docs/installation.md#released-package-and-main)
for features added since the latest npm release.

[pull request](https://github.com/morluto/rea/pulls), including the target,
your question, how REA helped, and what you found.
## FAQ
Which agents can use REA?
Any agent that supports local MCP servers. Setup configures the
[supported agents](docs/installation.md#supported-agents); other clients can use
[manual MCP registration](docs/installation.md#mcp-registry).
Do I need Hopper, Ghidra or IDA?
Deep native analysis uses one of them. Static JavaScript and .NET inspection
work without a native analysis engine. Setup can install Hopper after approval;
Ghidra and IDA use your existing installations. See [provider setup](docs/installation.md#hopper).
Do I need to start Hopper first?
REA starts Hopper when an operation needs it. On macOS, a first-run dialog may
ask you to choose demo mode or activate your license. Complete that prompt in the
same user session before your first CLI/MCP operation or unattended job. Open
Hopper manually if needed. See
[Hopper startup and troubleshooting](docs/installation.md#launcher-paths-and-troubleshooting).
What does installing the skill from skills.sh do?
The skill supplies investigation instructions for your agent. Use `npx rea-agents setup`
to register REA's MCP server and install the matching instructions, then restart
your agent. See [skill-only installation](docs/installation.md#skill-only-installation).
What code does REA return?
Native analysis returns pseudocode and assembly. JavaScript/Electron analysis
recovers modules and their relationships. Your agent uses these findings to
write and test an implementation; the [showcases](#showcases) give worked examples.
Does REA upload my app?
REA analyzes targets locally. Your agent receives the tool results, and its
model provider has its own data policy.
What should I do if I hit a bug?
Update first; a recent release may already fix it.
For a CLI installed with `npm install --global` or `bun add --global`:
```bash
rea update
```
For agent setup through `npx`:
```bash
npx rea-agents@latest setup
```
If you're using an agent, complete the [setup refresh](#update-rea) and restart
it. Retry the same task. If the problem persists, [open an issue](https://github.com/morluto/rea/issues)
with your REA version, target type, steps to reproduce and error output.
