## Rules for an agent

- No web API; it is open source (Apache-2.0, github.com/GoogleChromeLabs/squoosh) and can be self-hosted as a static site. npm packages @squoosh/cli and @squoosh/lib exist but were last published in January 2023, so prefer maintained codec libraries for server pipelines. Images are processed locally; only analytics (sizes, visits) are sent.
- Keep the Apache-2.0 license and notices when you fork or redistribute the code
- Do not rely on the old @squoosh/cli or @squoosh/lib npm packages for new production pipelines without checking their state
