IRIS Fieldwork

IRIS Fieldwork

IRIS Fieldwork is an original local operations workspace for InterSystems IRIS 2026.2. A responsive, dependency-free browser interface connects to a Python gateway; IRIS credentials remain in the gateway process. Live management APIs and an original Embedded Python/ObjectScript adapter supply the data.
Six views cover web applications, permissions, security and secrets, tasks, system telemetry, and logs. Operators can inspect configuration and nested records, enable or disable eligible web applications, review existing-resource grants on eligible roles, and run, suspend or resume verified user tasks. Wallet tools create collections and create, replace or remove write-only HTTP KeyValue secrets with explicit hosts and TLS. Audit and journal searches expose bounded record metadata with explicit pending-result refresh.
The interface begins in read-only mode. Enabled commands show a target-specific review, fresh-state checks and readback. Historical PID correlation is labelled as uncertain, and unavailable sources remain visible. Secret values are never fetched for display or verification.

Installation and walkthrough

Use the README installation instructions to prepare local credentials, start the IRIS container with Docker Compose, and run the Python gateway. Follow DEMO.md for the reproducible walkthrough and demonstration fixtures. The gateway and IRIS host port are bound to loopback by default.
Fresh Linux Docker Compose reproduction passed seven authenticated and four unauthenticated access checks; validation evidence is published. Docker Desktop on Windows and macOS has not been tested.

Scope and limitations

This is an AI-assisted development prototype for a disposable local instance. It uses an administrative account and is not a production security boundary. Resource creation, TLS/X.509/OAuth writes, process/device mutations and complete subsystem log coverage are not implemented. Stored secret values are not verified; replacement/removal cannot be undone here. Fresh-state checks do not lock out concurrent administrators.
The source is available under the MIT license, with a NOTICE. The v0.1.0 prerelease records this prototype. No contest acceptance or award is claimed.

Demonstration videos

• Overview — 2:58: a web-app enable/disable cycle with verified restoration and a completed bounded audit search; permission, wallet and task examples stop at review.
• Task lifecycle and triage — 2:22: verified suspension and resumption, one demonstration-task run with later completion evidence, and the limits of PID correlation. The initial unsuspended state and read-only workflow guard are restored.
• REST exploration and bounded journal reads — 2:14: a live journal-file inventory read, a reference-only write entry, and one bounded journal search that completes after refresh with two metadata records. Local filtering does not issue another search; global nodes and stored values remain withheld.
  All three videos provide English captions and show edited sequences of actual captured UI states using a disposable administrative test account. AI assistance and prototype limitations are disclosed. Publication does not imply contest acceptance or an award.
